Special Guest
Justine Toh
Vice president of discipleship programming for The Gospel Coalition (TGC).
Justine Toh makes sense of the complex entanglements of people, culture, and belief. Her writing appears in The Sydney Morning Herald, The Guardian, ABC Religion & Ethics, Eureka St, and The Canberra Times. A Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Public Christianity, Justine is the author of the mini-book Achievement Addiction that explores the way we strive for our significance in a culture that equates our worth with our work. She addresses charities, schools, churches, universities, and more on topics ranging from the mental load to contemporary ethics to surviving life in an achievement-obsessed culture. Justine is an occasional guest-host on programs on ABC’s Radio National and has a doctorate in Cultural Studies from Sydney’s Macquarie University. She is, apparently, still an achievement addict since writing this bio felt so triggering (!) but her greater, and more lasting, loves are books, laughter, friendship, family, and all things involving words and the Word.
