The Morning Wake Up

We Are Messengers - Festival One Interview - 2026

The Morning Wake Up speaks with Frank Ritchie about how churches can better welcome newcomers. Frank shares his thoughts on why visitors should never feel like an imposition and why it’s important for churches to make it clear how new attendees can begin engaging with the community, especially for those unfamiliar with church culture.

During the conversation, the team and Frank also discuss the balance between being welcoming and giving newcomers space to find their place naturally. They explore how greeting new people is important, but should feel genuine rather than forced or like a sales pitch. Ultimately, the discussion encourages churches to stay mindful of the first-time visitor experience in order to create a truly welcoming environment.

How Can Churches Be More Welcoming for New People? - Frank Ritchie

The Morning Wake Up speaks with guest Frank Ritchie about the concept of anointing and its biblical roots in both the Old and New Testaments. Frank explains that anointing signifies being set apart by the Spirit of God for a particular purpose, and highlights the New Testament idea that all believers are anointed to serve God in their everyday lives.

Frank also discusses the continued significance of physical anointing with oil in some Christian traditions, such as during baptism or in the anointing of the sick. They explore how the word “anointing” is often used in church culture today, encouraging clearer language that honours church leaders without elevating them above others. Ultimately, the discussion points back to the biblical idea that all believers share in the priesthood and are equally anointed to serve God.

Can You Anoint a Jacket? (And What Anointing Really Is) - Frank Ritchie

The Morning Wake Up discusses 1 Corinthians 5:11, which warns against associating with those who claim to be Christians yet engage in immoral behaviours. They clarify with Dale Campbell that this verse should not be taken in isolation, as it can lead to misunderstanding and judgement of others.

Campbell highlights the importance of context, referencing Galatians 6, where Paul encourages restoration rather than shunning. The Morning Wake Up emphasises that the goal is always restoration through grace, not condemnation, and that true Christian fellowship should be marked by love and support, even in difficult situations.
