After realising a paradigm shift in how they could do ministry, Stu was able to use his studies of the 1960s to create a new form of youth ministry that focused on living out a Jesus-led community rather than attempting to be relevant to multiple generations across the church.

Joel and Stu delve into the beginnings of the Soul Revival ministry. Triggered by a desire for an adventure and a paradigm shift in their thinking, four people in a dumpy garage created a new way of doing youth ministry and laid the groundwork for the Shock Absorber.

In the debut episode of the podcast, Joel and Stu dive straight into the Shock Absorber and how it can be a framework for churches to biblically adapt to the changes in society.
