One of our most popular episodes to date, our conversation with Sally was full of joy as she helped us see the true value of extending Christ's welcome to others through the very ordinary means of a cup of tea, and seeing how the Lord chooses to work through those moments.  We hope the conversation continues to fuel your desire to extend Christ's welcome to others! Sally Clarkson hosts p...

This was such a real and honest conversation for us all about what to do when Bible reading is just hard.  With both vulnerability and Scripture-soaked wisdom, this was such a helpful conversation with Kristen, as she led us through both obstacles and remedies for when we're finding it hard to open our Bibles. Kristen is a pastor’s wife, mother, writer, and speaker. She's authored severa...

Gold dust.  Every part of our time with Jen felt like gold -  as we soaked in her wisdom in how to read the Bible better, how to grow in obedience to what it says, and how to keep coming back to the grace of God at work in our lives.  It's a conversation we keep coming back to, and we pray it's just as helpful for you!

We don't think we can overstate how significant our conversation with Nancy was part way through our Deuteronomy season.

Enjoy coming with us, as we listen again to the riches of this conversation! Nancy Guthrie is an autho...

Way back in the day, when we were just getting going with the podcast, Sam Allberry graciously joined us to talk through James chapter 2.  His interview is still one of our favourites, not only because of his biscuit chat, but because he was so enormously helpful in pastorally walking us through one of the trickiest parts of James.  It's been a joy to listen in again, and we hope it is for yo...
