The Ministry Forum Podcast exists to inspire, support, and connect ministry leaders across Canada, offering valuable insights for those involved in preaching, pastoral care, youth, and children’s ministry and everything in between.
In each episode, we feature engaging conversations with experienced ministry leaders, theologians, and practitioners as they share their wisdom, stories, and practical advice.
Our mission is to empower you with the tools and knowledge you need to thrive in your ministry. We celebrate diversity and aim to build a supportive, inclusive community where every leader feels valued and connected.
Interview with Andy Harrington, Executive Director of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank
Andy Harrington has spent most of his life pushing back on that idea. As Executive Director of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, Andy has worked alongside churches, governments, farmers, and local partners around the world to respond to hunger. Along the way, he’s discovered that lasting change almost always begins with people who are willing to take the next faithful step, even when they can’t see the whole path ahead. John and Andy talk about calling, collaboration, generosity, and why keeping your eyes on the mission matters. It’s a hopeful conversation for anyone wondering whether the small things we do together can still make a difference.

Rev. Dr. Stuart Macdonald on the Church Today
Churches across Canada are asking big questions about the future. Fewer people. Fewer resources. A culture that no longer assumes the Church belongs at the centre of public life. So where do we go from here?
John sits down with the Rev. Dr. Stuart Macdonald to talk about his After Christendom Substack and the ideas that have been shaping his writing. Together they reflect on what Christendom was, why it matters that it’s ending, and what churches might need to rethink as they look ahead.
It’s an honest conversation. There are moments of disagreement, plenty of curiosity, and no attempt to offer quick fixes. Instead, Stuart invites us to recover our imagination, rediscover our purpose, and ask what faithfulness looks like in the world we’re actually living in.
