Inspiration4Ministry: Live

Sabbath, 8 May, 2021

In response to the global pandemic, we launched a new platform that was designed to be accessible and uplifting for students and our global community. The Newbold Podcast was born, and with it, Inspiration4Ministry launched.

Each Inspiration4Ministry episode features a guest in ministry, who shares their personal story – the highs and lows of the journey, their calling experience, the best aspects of their role, and top tips for those considering studying Theology or pursuing a career in ministry.

For the first time, Inspiration4Ministry will be live and brought to you in the comfort of your own home.

The virtual event will broadcast on Sabbath 8 May 2021 and will feature a broad panel of passionate Newbold alumni who share their journeys from their calling experience to their role in the present day.

Our Student Recruitment Officer, Troy Smith will be your host for the event and looks forward to seeing you all there!

 

Themes of conversation will include:

  • The concept of a ‘calling’ – what is it? How do you know you’re being called to minister? You will hear each panellists’ unique
  • Top tips on how to recognise a calling, the signs of a calling and how to ‘listen’ to it
  • The meaning of ministry. What does it really mean to minister? What’s is it like to work in this industry, first-hand?
  • Practical advice on how to enter the ministry, work placement experiences, mentor opportunities and networking
  • “Ministry doesn’t have to mean preaching” – the roles within ministry and different pathways to take
  • Following each panellist’s journey as they share their highs, lows, realities and ideals, what Church means to them, and their visions for ministry in the 21st century
