Gary Millar: Godliness vs Effectiveness - the Both/And Dilemma
01/28/25 • 35 min
Godliness vs Effectiveness - the Both/And Ministry dilemma
- Godliness vs Effectiveness
- Theology vs Pragmatics
- People centered vs Organisationally minded
- Leading from the front vs Serving others
- Courage to take a stand vs Quick to submit
- Others know I am one of them vs I am set apart to lead
- I lead patiently vs I lead with a sense of urgency
Most Christians at some point do start to wonder if they are the real deal. What God asks of us is so far reaching, so all encompassing, that when we come up short, we start to ask ourselves “Am I an imposter?” “Should I really be a leader?” and perhaps/Am even a Christian at all?’
Gary Millar is the Principal of Queensland’s Theological College and author of a new book ‘Both/And Ministry.’

Paul Grimmond: How godliness differs for men and women and how to teach it!
How does godliness play out differently if I am a man, a woman, a young man, a young woman, a husband or a wife?
All Christians are called to live like Christ. Why does the Apostle Paul choose to write about what godliness looks like for the older and younger and for us as men and women, rather than more generally for us as people?
Does our age and sex have implications for the challenges we face in living for Jesus?
Are these things just human constructs or elements of divine gift?
And what implications does this have for how we think about discipleship and our lived experience of complementarian ministry?
Paul Grimmond is a senior lecturer at Sydney’s Moore Theological College. Paul gave the keynote address at the Priscilla and Aquila conference.
