Intellect Riverina
Intellect aims to provide a platform for rigorous thinking about the Christian faith and its implications for our society.
Why Intellect Riverina?
Intellect Riverina is a ministry developed by local church leaders to engage people with intellectually compelling ideas about our world from a Christian perspective and how it relates to our lives. We believe the Christian faith withstands intellectual scrutiny and provides a framework for human flourishing. It points to answers relating to the scientific, social and moral questions of our day.

About the speaker
Dr. Ballantine-Jones, CEO of DigiHelp Publishing, completed his PhD at Sydney University’s Faculty of Medicine, researching ways to mitigate the negative impact of pornography and sexualised social media behaviours on adolescents. Through his work with DigiHelp and Resist Ministries, he equips schools and faith communities with practical strategies to support youth in navigating the online space safely and healthily.
Joining him is Dr. Rachel Hogg, Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Charles Sturt University, whose research focuses on stress and trauma, gendered experiences in clinical psychology, and youth intimate partner violence. She brings a regional perspective to discussions on consent, coercive control, and the impact of social media on identity and relationships.
