The

Renewing

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” – Romans 12:2

Church And State has been frequently asked by Australian young adults at CAS events to develop a national resource for ongoing political discipleship. Zoomers want expert training in the cultural issues being debated at large in our society. Gen Z young men in particular are expressing a hunger for the unvarnished Truth of what God says about everything – no punches pulled, and no apologies.

YFC's PJ Bedwell | Tue 3 March

We are now developing a resource for small groups which will be facilitated by known believers, youth and young adults groups, churches and more. Each unique group’s leaders will choose from 100s of video modules complete with discussion/study notes depending on their own observed needs and cultural moments.

YOUR EXCLUSIVE INVITATION

3pm-7pm THIS TUESDAY, 3 March, 2026, video production will be happening at a private location in Logan, Queensland, and will include a strictly limited number of young adults to be the live audience for the presenters. This could include you!

Sessions will likely include sharing food together in genuine fellowship between sessions. If you’re not available or can’t travel to Logan, please click the NOW! menu link above to join and be notified when courses are released and groups are starting near you.

The opportunity to be mentored in person by national Christian leaders is extra special. Although similar courses ask and get significant investment for participating individuals, there is no cost to attend.

Anyone can apply, but priority will be given to young adults with maximum availability before March. Others will be waitlisted for any other opportunities to attend. Please complete the form below ASAP to apply.
