In the Season 2 premiere of the Hillsong Australia Podcast, Robert Fergusson shares a deeply personal message reflecting on 52 years of following Jesus and the decision that changed his life forever. Drawing from the book of Jude, Robert explores identity, calling, insecurity, and what it means to share in the salvation found in Christ.
Through Jude 1:1–4, this message reminds us that our identity is not built on achievement, comparison, or recognition—but on being called by the Holy Spirit, loved by God the Father, and kept by Jesus Christ.
