Breaking News: Our NATION is in TROUBLE 🚨

After her recent trip to Melbourne, Petrina witnessed firsthand the deep distress gripping our streets. Protest after protest, ideology recruiters, rising homelessness, and broken people crying out for hope.

Australia is fragmented. Yet there is still one name and one message powerful enough to heal our division and wounds:
Jesus.

It is at the foot of the cross that we lay down our differences and allow Him to restore what is broken.

If there was ever a time to pray, go, and boldly speak hope and truth…that time is now 🙌

A society that loves and sympathises with evil deeds is a corrupt stronghold that needs to come down in the name of Jesus 🙏

Surely, Jesus didn’t die for a comfortable, powerless Christianity?

This is a good time to go to war for the next generation.

Why? Because a nation, its leaders, and its church are measured by the condition of its children—and our children are fragmented.

The deep division and brokenness can no longer be patched with band-aids.

It’s time for the church to rise in love, truth, and power.

Jesus nailed division and brokenness on the cross. He is the only way the truth and the life for a broken nation.

“For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭14‬-‭18‬ ‭NIV‬‬

REVIVAL STARTS WITH US 🔥

🙅‍♀️Not with a stage.
🙅‍♀️Not with a program.
🙅‍♀️Not with someone else.
With us.

We’ve been waiting for revival
like it’s something that happens to us.
But true revival doesn’t start in the crowd.
It starts in the heart ❤️‍🔥

It doesn’t begin with:
❌Better music
❌Bigger events
❌More conferences
❌Perfect leaders
It begins when ordinary people say:
“It starts with me.”

Revival starts with us means:
➡️We stop pointing fingers
➡️We start examining our own hearts
➡️We choose repentance over comfort
➡️We let God mess with our private lives first

It starts in the quiet places:
👉How we speak to our family
👉What we entertain in secret
👉The way we treat people who can’t give us anything
👉The prayers we actually mean

When revival starts with us:
➡️Homes change
➡️Workplaces feel different
➡️Churches come alive
➡️Cities eventually follow
But it never skips the “us.”

The question isn’t:
“When will revival come?”

The real question is:
“Will it start with me?”

Facing rejection in this world is inevitable—true obedience to God can often feel lonely.

One of the surest paths to downfall is seeking approval and validation in all the wrong places 🤦‍♀️

Don’t hand people the power to define your identity.
What truly sustains you is time with Jesus, immersion in the Word, and accountability with the right people.

When your circle grows smaller or you face deep rejection where you are, it is often God’s way of redirecting, refining, or healing you. Lean on godly wisdom, discernment, and mature counsel to navigate it well—your faith journey depends on it ❤️🙏

DEPRESSION 😥

When people say:
‘You’re a Christian, you’re not meant to be depressed’ 🙄 and then people suffer alone…

We don’t talk about it enough. Ignorance and self-righteousness is pushing people away from their healing and deliverance in Christ🙏

The trust is gone. People walk around bound because they fear judgement 💔

Petrina and Kate open up about this important topic…

You don’t have to walk in shame and condemnation anymore❌

😔 Mental health stats in Australia are a wake-up call:
Nearly 40% of young people (16–24) experienced a mental disorder last year — up from 26%

Women face higher overall rates (~52% reporting depression symptoms in some studies), while ~18% of men experienced a mental illness in the past year.

According to Dr. Caroline Leaf: Depression isn’t just a ‘disease’ — it’s often a signal from toxic thoughts, trauma, or unprocessed pain. Through neuroplasticity, renewing our minds (Romans 12:2), and reconceptualizing thoughts, real change is possible.

Don’t you dare let people shame you for something that happened to you ❤️

You don’t have to live with a broken identity. There is hope + healing in Jesus 🥹

This is as real as it gets…

We are having this real and raw conversation to encourage someone out there. You are not alone 🥹

When God called you, it wasn’t a conference call ☎️

When you finally get the courage and faith to step out for God, don’t expect people to cheer you on and support you. They may even unfollow you 🤦‍♀️

Welcome to ministry 😁

It can be brutal sometimes but it’s ok God’s got you, it’s all part of the training and refining process 🙏

Do it anyway. Never compare. Don’t allow discouragement to derail you. You have an audience of one. Someone somewhere out there is depending on your obedience ❤️
