One Spirit. Seven Expressions.

Starting our third season on the Synergy Sessions podcast, is the Friday evening session of the Synergy: Seven Gathering, that took place in Dunfermline, Scotland 18-19th September, 2026. A partnership of Streams Creative House and Cairn Movement and then many other friends.

Charity Bowman-Webb and Robyn Stewart of Streams Creative House kicked off Synergy: Seven with this session teaching, preaching, and modelling healthy prophetic giftings in the Church of our Lord Jesus.

At the heart of this gathering is a simple but urgent question: what does it mean to respond faithfully and courageously in this time? As familiar models are being reshaped, Synergy 7 creates space to explore how the Church can rediscover its missionary edge through the full expression of fivefold leadership—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers working together to equip God’s people.

The future of the Church will be discovered by seeking God’s heart and rediscovering the fullness of His Spirit.

Discover with us.

On this episode we have Ruth Kennedy teaching on the Prophetic & the local church. Ruth challenges us to deepen our relationship with the prophetic, rather than only a time to listen and receive a word in church but to something to continually consider, apply and pray about. As Ruth says, ‘ The prophetic is not a mic drop moment.’

Charity and Alan then have a great discussion with lots of practical wisdom on how to embrace the prophetic while keeping the church healthy. This is one gold!

On this episode we have Gordon Kennedy teaching on 'Healthy Teaching’ Gordon discusses - word studies, bible reading, the use of questions and more! We then have Ruth Kennedy and Heather Sutherland chat about it afterwards. Enjoy!!

We are back! On this episode we have Shona Stirling teaching on 'Multi-Voice Leadership and Emotional Intelligence' Shona discusses the importance of self-awareness and self-regulation when there are differing opinions in the leadership symphony.

In our last podcast of 2025, Peter Neilson shares thoughts about 5Q in established churches and the challenges then Charity Bowman-Webb and Scott McRoberts unpack some of the teaching. Thank you for sticking with us this year, we will be taking a break in December and look forward to more releases in 2026!

Alan describes the essence of apostolic ministry and the importance of collaborative leadership as mentioned in Ephesians 4. He uses a biblical plumbline to describe healthy and unhealthy apostolic ministry and explains how it can look different from person to person.

Then listen to Gordon Kennedy, Lynsey Paterson and Heather Sutherland as they discuss through their own APEST (Apostle / Prophet / Evangelist/ Shepherd / Teacher) lens.

Beginning with Bob Dylan lyrics, Charity Bowman-Webb shares how it is time to respond to the ‘changing times’ and how the gifts of apostolic and prophetic are foundational to the church. She shares how they have been marginalised in some contexts, resulting in their misuse. Charity also inspires us to be reignited with the wonder of God.

Then listen to Ruth Kennedy, Scott McRoberts and Heather Sutherland as they discuss through their own APEST (Apostle / Prophet / Evangelist/ Shepherd / Teacher) lens.

Naomi McKinley (Wildfire Ministries) teaches about ‘Healthy Prophetic’ and shares about hard words, the secret place and character. She also challenges us to receive from the LORD for intercession rather than always for releasing. Then listen to Alan McWilliam (Cairn), Charity Bowman Webb (Streams Creative House, Streams Scotland) and Ruth Kennedy (Church of Scotland) as they comment and there their thoughts and experiences afterwards.
