By: Steff Willis We spend a huge part of our lives at work, so we would hope that it would be an enjoyable experience, working alongside colleagues that we get along with. But what happens when the culture in the workplace is less than enjoyable? Worse still, what should we do if we find ourselves in a toxic workplace?

By: Akos BaloghIn my first post on this topic, we examined why disagreeing well is dying art (and the implications). My second post explored the first step of disagreeing well by interrupting our anxiety. In this third and final post, we’ll explore how the Bible helps Christians disagree well with others. There’s much that could be (and should be) said.

By: Laura BennettWhen you see endless headlines about the “cost-of-living crisis” and pressure on Australians to afford housing, food and bills, it’s easy to assume it’s mums and dads and single professionals bearing the brunt. The results of Mission Australia’s annual Youth Survey however show teenagers between 15-19 years of age are carrying the cost as well, struggling to find appropriate accommodation themselves and wondering what adult future they’ll be walking into.

I have been thinking a lot about how things are often not bad, just different. Sometimes when things are not the way we like them, not in the perfect little gift box with a bow on top, we automatically frame them as bad. My daughter got married a couple of years ago, and our son was living in Melbourne. This left us with an empty nest facing a very different Christmas. My first thought was that I could never enjoy Christmas again. I considered pretending Christmas wasn’t happening.

By: Akos Balogh Having a Gen Z teenage daughter means that Taylor Swift is often our companion in the car or around the house. From Welcome to New York to Fortnight, Swift is never far from our consciousness (and yes, even I have been caught singing along to her music). But one song caught my attention and is my go-to whenever my daughter asks which Tay Tay song to play. And it’s the song You Need to Calm Down.

‘Hey, come and check this out!’ I yell out to my teenage daughter. I had just generated a 10-minute podcast episode (yes, an entire podcast episode) using Google’s new Notebook LM website. I uploaded a PDF of my latest blog post, pressed a button (no prompting required), and out came a 10-minute audio file with the voice of a man and woman discussing my article in a ‘deep dive’ format. ‘Turn it off!’ says my daughter. ‘It’s too weird!’. My Gen Z digital native daughter doesn’t want a bar of it.

‘Whatever you do, don’t bring up politics’, says my cousin as we walk into the restaurant. ‘There are strong opinions in the extended family for and against Viktor Orban’s government, and conversations can get very heated,’ he continues. My daughter and I had just arrived in my homeland of Hungary and are catching up with extended family over dinner. So, I promised not to talk politics.
