This is the fourth podcast I’ve recorded with Steve Bradbury, and in this episode, Steve shares stories from his final years in his role as Director of TEAR Australia (now Tearfund Australia). He shares about his work in bringing international faith-based development organisations together, how and when he came to the decision to leave TEAR, and shares a bit about what he felt were the hallmarks of faith-integrated development as he exited TEAR.
I live near Fremantle in Western Australia with my sweet wife and our four children. I love exploring the intersection between theology and practice for all aspects of life, and get excited about finding ways to bring those two together in the life choices available to me. I love learning and making things with my hands, family days, gardening and home produce. I am terrible with a paint brush or camera, and I know nothing about cardiology. I do not own a cardigan. Yet.
I work for Amos Australia and am chipping away at a PhD looking at theologies of supporter engagement Australian Christian development organisations. I tend to order more books than I can read. Actually, I don't tend to. I do.
I find writing is a helpful way for me to process and distill what I'm observing, thinking and feeling as I wander wide-eyed through our fascinating-terrifying-beautiful world, and because the entire process of thinking-writing-re-writing-editing-re-writing is where the goodness lies for me, I don't use AI.
