Podcast: Webworm, Arise!

Webworm’s first ever live event, Webworm, Arise! Earlier this month around 400 Webworm readers packed into Auckland’s St Matthew-in-the-City for a cathartic night that looked to unpack and reflect on Webworm's megachurch reporting over the last year. Kiri Allan chaired a panel on Arise and megachurch culture, consisting of Hayden Donnell (Journalist and Webworm regular), Michael Frost (former megachurch staffer and host of the In The Shift podcast) Reverend Frank Richie (who recently published extensive work examining the Arise Church situation from a theological and cultural perspective), the current vicar of St-Matthew’s, Helen Jacobi, and David Farrier.
