Stepping Into Magnanimity – Mark Sayers
Saturday, 15 August, 2026

Ever sat in a room and felt the quiet dread of What am I doing here? Mark Sayers names that feeling, imposter syndrome and takes us to Romans 8, where creation itself waits on tiptoe for the sons and daughters of God to be revealed. Drawing on Thomas Aquinas's forgotten vice of "pusillanimity" (the sin of shrinking back from the good we're capable of). Mark unpacks how comparison, perfectionism, and fear of risk quietly convince us to hang back rather than step forward. The alternative isn't arrogance; it's magnanimity: a big-souled, God-given confidence to fullyinhabit who we were made to be, for his glory rather than our own. A challenging, hopeful word for anyone who's ever wondered if they're too small for what they've been called to.To find out more about Red Church, head to redchurch.au
