Catalyst Baptist Church in Werribee are gearing up to relaunch its podcast ‘The Elaborators.’

Broadcasting from their Heaths Road studio to the world, the podcast will explore how Christian faith informs daily life, covering topics like navigating doubt, relationships, hardship, decision-making, and spiritual resilience.

Catalyst communications director Simon Young said the podcast emerged from a belief that faith discussions should extend beyond Sundays.

“I wanted to create a platform where we could thoughtfully elaborate on Sunday sermons and discuss how a Christian faith shapes real life,” he said.

“It became a natural extension of our mission to equip people for everyday discipleship in an accessible, conversational format.”

Prior to the hiatus of the podcast in November, he said listeners had responded positively and it had grown into a valued resource both within the Catalyst community and their own wider networks.

“Many listeners have shared how the conversations [on the show] helped them process faith and life in a deeper way,” Mr Young said.

While anyone is welcome to tune in, daily life Wyndham will be the target.

“It’s about connecting faith to real life right here in Wyndham – creating space for honest conversations that help people,“ he said.

“We are going to see it expand through more guest interviews, series on key life stages, and broader engagement with the voices and needs of the Wyndham region.”

Past episodes of The Elaborators episodes are available on Apple, Spotify and YouTube.
