In Episode 13 of The Proceeding Word, Ps Brian Heath and Emily Braithwaite pause their usual programming to address a deeply significant and timely question: What about Israel?

In light of recent violent events and the rise of anti-Semitism in Australia and around the world, this episode calls Christians to take heed of what we hear, who we listen to, and how we listen. Ps Brian draws from Scripture to speak about discernment, deception, history, and the spiritual foundations of nations.

The conversation explores the connection between anti-Semitism and national health, the misuse of language and ideology, the meaning of Zionism, and common theological errors Christians can hold regarding Israel. Ps Brian also addresses replacement theology, New Covenant faith, and why standing with the Jewish community matters deeply for believers today.

This episode ends with a call to prayer, courage, compassion, and action, urging Christians to respond with truth, love, and responsibility in challenging times.

In Episode 12 of The Proceeding Word, Ps Brian Heath and Emily Braithwaite explore Jesus’ parable of the mustard seed and what it teaches us about faith. Many people wonder if they have enough faith to please God. Jesus answers that question by showing us that even the smallest measure of faith, when sown, can grow into something powerful and fruitful.

This episode unpacks what faith really is, how God gives every person a measure of faith, and why growth comes through sowing, obedience, and daily practice. Ps Brian shares personal stories, farming illustrations, and biblical principles to show how faith develops over time and how ordinary believers can see extraordinary fruit when they apply what they hear.

The episode concludes with practical encouragement on walking with God daily and an invitation to receive Christ.

In Episode 11 of The Proceeding Word, Ps Brian Heath and Emily Braithwaite explore spiritual battles and the generational impact of the decisions we make. We look at the difference between inheritance and legacy, how battles shape future generations, and why Scripture teaches us to stand firm in spiritual warfare.

Pastor Brian explains the spiritual battle in heaven, the battle in the garden, and the battles we face today such as depression, addiction, bullying, family struggles and cultural pressures. We talk about Paul’s words, I have fought the good fight, and what it means to keep the faith through every season.

This episode also highlights five biblical keys to overcoming spiritual battles: connection, understanding, sacrifice, prayer and faith. We conclude with the sinner’s prayer for anyone ready to place their trust in Jesus.
