Redefining Success in the Kingdom - Chad Dedman | 10 May 2026

In this gathering, we hear from Chad that success in the kingdom doesn't look like success in the world — it's not measured by an 8% return or visible results, it's measured by soft hearts, compassion, and the willingness to step out of the boat.

Chad walks us through stories of prayer paddling past witch gatherings, throwing strangers in the air at music festivals, and taking a brain-injured dad surfing with his five sons on Father's Day — all flowing from one source: a heart enlarged by the Father's love.

He challenges us that fear is a demonic spirit that paralyses, but faith slingshots us into our destiny, and that some of our biggest breakthroughs come when we contend for someone else's. The word over our region right now is compassion — the Father is enlarging the heart of New Zealand, and he's calling us into the baton pass of the generations.
