The Sweet Spot

Australia is at a crossroads. As we navigate some of our most challenging chapters in history, it is easy to feel divided and adrift. But even in the shadows, there is a path forward—if we are willing to look for it. Introducing The Sweet Spot with Lisa Cotton, a podcast for every Australian who refuses to settle for the status quo and political correctness. Lisa Cotton brings a rare, multi-dimensional perspective to the issues shaping our nation. Her life has been a journey of extremes: from a staunchly atheistic past to a profound Christian faith, a transformation she chronicles in her memoir, The Zealot. As a domestic violence survivor, a veteran advocate for family crisis support, and a national political leader, Lisa understands that real change happens when we look beyond the noise. The Sweet Spot is the intersection where the unwavering truth of God’s justice meets the transformative power of His grace. Guided by the timeless wisdom of Micah 6:8, Lisa explores the issues shaping our nation through the lens of what God requires of us: to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with Him. From the halls of power to the kitchen table, this is a conversation that bridges the gap between the pews and the parliament. It is a space for those who want to move past the rhetoric and engage in a dialogue that is grounded in hard-won experience, fueled by a genuine love for God, and driven by a deep, active love for our neighbors. Whether you are navigating the complexities of the justice system, seeking solutions for family safety, or looking for a more thoughtful way to engage with the news, Lisa invites you to focus on what truly matters. It is time to make the best of our history by living out the greatest commandments. The Sweet Spot. Justice, mercy, humility courage. Reliance on Almighty God Serving the needs of humankind.
