Advance Movement Podcast

Matthew Hosier unpacks Philippians 3:10–14 and Paul’s burning resolve to “press on toward the goal to win the prize” – complete identification with Christ. Using three key words – rest, ruin, redeploy – Matthew calls us to: - Find true rest in Christ’s resurrection life and shalom, knowing he has taken hold of us - Be ruined for anything else, refusing the lesser “prizes” of the world and pursuing Jesus as our one prize - Be redeployed for kingdom advance, whether through fresh zeal where we are or by being sent to new places and church plants This is a stirring call for leaders and churches across the UK and Europe to fix their eyes on Christ as the prize, and to keep pressing on together in his mission.

Ryan Ter Morshuizen unpacks Paul’s words in Philippians 3: “forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead.” Speaking directly to leaders, Ryan gently but courageously calls us to let go of the things that hold us back from pressing on: - Good things we’re tempted to find confidence in (titles, successes, reputation) - Painful things done to us and by us - Deep “people pain” in leadership, disappointment and broken relationships Through Scripture and his own vulnerable story, Ryan invites us to bring both our credentials and our wounds to Jesus, receive his freedom, and run again in his purposes with a lighter heart.

In this message from the 2025 Advance UK & Europe conference in London, Andrew Sampson explores how fasting and prayer help us “press on toward the goal” of knowing Christ more deeply, drawing from Philippians 3. Andrew shares honestly from his own journey of learning to fast, and unpacks how fasting: - Helps us practice the presence of God in the ordinary moments of the day - Exposes unholy attachments and “Jesus substitutes” in our hearts - Builds discipline in one area of life that strengthens us in others, including real battles with temptation Looking at the early church in Acts and the example of Jesus in the wilderness, he calls us to recover both personal and corporate fasting as part of our shared pursuit of maturity in Christ.

At the 2025 Advance UK & Europe conference in London, Tope Koleoso calls church leaders back to the primary work of prayer. Preaching from 2 Chronicles 7, Revelation and Zechariah 10, he urges us to “ask for rain in the time of rain” – to respond to the fresh hunger we’re seeing with fervent, corporate prayer, not just activity. This message will stir you to: - Rebuild the prayer life of your church - Move from nominal to culture-shaping prayer - Seek personal renewal as leaders before longing for revival
