Gospel Conversations takes a creative approach to attaining a deeper understanding of the gospel and what it means to us today. Our speakers are not ministers, but range from a diverse community of Christian thinkers who lead their various fields of knowledge in history, design thinking, theology, philosophy, and organisational leadership—among others. Each month we host a live event in Sydney, then publish it as a podcast.

episode 5: Tony Golsby-Smith: Creation Story
Most people live in a split world that divides their lives into a sacred part and a secular part. This worldview affects all religions and all people - even atheists have that same paradigm (they just reject it). This worldview puts God in a religious box and cuts off large parts of our lives from His influence. We need a bigger God and a bigger worldview that will create a seamless world for us which is infused everywhere and equally with God's influence. To get there we need a bigger picture of creation which includes why an all-sufficient God would create anything in the first place? We then need to ask what is humanity's role in that creative act? Are we just incidental or are we somehow central to the whole project of God? That is what this first module of the Holistic Gospel will cover. Hopefully, it will excite you, rock your mind and build the platform for a new worldview.
