Dr. Mary Healy: The Danger of a Lukewarm Faith in 2026. The Tim Fisher Oration 2026

In this stirring keynote from the 3rd Tim Fisher Oration in Sydney, Australia, renowned theologian Dr. Mary Healy delivers a powerful wake-up call for the modern Church. As society slips further into a post-Christian, secular age marked by moral confusion and profound isolation, Dr. Healy reveals why nominal, comfortable Christianity is rapidly facing extinction and why that is actually a sign of massive hope. Diving deep into the Gospels, she breaks down Jesus' radical encounters with Zacchaeus and the Samaritan woman to show how true, countercultural transformation happens on a personal level.
