This episode is hosted by our new co-host, Leah Tindale, in which she and our guest Mike Frost reimagine all that church originated as and all it could be.

Mike is an internationally recognised Australian missiologist and one of the leading voices in the missional church movement. He is the author or editor of nineteen theological books, most recently 'ReJesus: Remaking the Church in Our Founder's Image', co-authored with Alan Hirsch.

Mike was one of the founders of the Forge Mission Training Network and the founder of the missional Christian community, smallboatbigsea, based in Manly in Sydney’s north. He is also well known for his protests against Australia’s treatment of refugees, some of which have resulted in his arrest by the NSW police, as well as his advocacy for racial reconciliation, foreign aid, and gender equality.
