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.

Mind Over Matter - the mystery of language
Ron takes the debate over to mind v matter into language - which is where the mystery of mind is best revealed. He gives us a crash course in philosophy in ten minutes - and uses the colour 'red' to reveal the immense complexity in simply naming the world. The highlight though belongs to his one year old grandson , Levi - and he uses Levi's early experiments with words to celebrate the wonders of the mind at work through language and how we acquire it.
