Four12 is a global partnership of churches longing to live out Authentic New Testament Christianity and working together to Equip, Restore and Advance the church that Jesus Himself is building. We take our cue from Ephesians 4:12 which tells us that Christ gave gifts to the body, “to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ”. As a vivid reminder of this mandate, we are called, Four12. This is a Four12 podcast.
What happens when you have prayed, obeyed, and still see no sign of change? These dry places in our lives can become the very places God will show His power – if we place our expectation and trust in God again. In Scripture we see from the dry valley in 2 Kings 3 to Naaman’s seven immersions in the Jordan, that genuine faith acts before the answer is visible. Here Euan MacRae encourages weary…
Are you living as a child of God, or still responding like an orphan? You were not made to live under rejection, insecurity, or the pressure to prove your worth. Through Jesus Christ, the Father has already made a way for you to belong, and the Holy Spirit testifies that you are His child. Peter de Korte calls us to examine what we truly believe, repent of unbelief, and trust God’s Word above the…
Do you know God created sexual intimacy to be beautiful, holy and good? It is good because God created it, and it is sacred because He designed it for the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman. This session calls believers to honour God with their bodies, establish wise boundaries, and resist cultural patterns that treat intimacy casually. Jonathan Stanfield also speaks about broken…
How does the promise of Jesus’ return help us hold on through suffering? The hope of His return gives us strength to persevere when life becomes difficult. We are called to obey Him from love, remain faithful when we face suffering, and refuse to shrink back from Christ or His people. In this session, Ashley Gabriel draws from Hebrews 10 and Revelation 22 to remind us that readiness for Jesus…
Why does God ask us to abide in Christ? God desires His glory to be increasingly seen in and through His people. This biblical pattern of increase is made evident when we remain connected to Christ, producing growing Christlikeness, fruitful ministry, spiritual gifts, and boldness to witness. Rather than settling for religious activity or knowledge that does not lead to transformation, Mike Davies…
Remembering what God has done builds our faith for the future. The biblical principle of remembrance brings God’s covenant faithfulness into the present and fuels obedience, gratitude, and trust. Remembering guards us from spiritual drift, confirms our identity in Christ, and strengthens our faith. Through personal testimony and Scripture, Chris Staples calls us to cultivate daily rhythms of…
Is your faith the foundation of your life? Biblical faith means placing the full weight of your life on Christ, not merely agreeing that Christian truths are true. Salvation is by grace through faith, yet genuine faith becomes active through obedience, faithfulness, and lasting fruit. Andrew Selley explores the biblical meaning of faith and shows how God sustains His people to live by faith from…
Have you started seeing people as problems instead of treasure? Every person is valuable because Jesus purchased them with His precious blood. Faithful leaders do not manage behaviour – they shepherd saints with compassion, pursue healing, and patiently trusts that God can transform them. Euan MacRae challenges leaders to ask the Holy Spirit to expose hardness, offence, and preference in their…
Are you leading people toward Christ, or controlling their faith? Christian leadership is a sacred trust, not a position to use for control. Faithful leaders proclaim Christ, disciple His people, and help them grow toward maturity through wisdom, compassion, and patient shepherding. Russell Fraser challenges leaders to work with people’s faith, ask questions that help them grow, and carry…
Becoming those who bring the Gospel to the nations. God’s desire has always been to dwell with His people. What began in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost was never meant to stay there. The church was birthed to reach the nations, and today, that mission continues through ordinary, available people. Here, Nick Whelan reminds us that we are co-labourers in His global story—called not to…
