John, Tim and the become new team help make a connection with God accessible by providing daily prompts and prayer for deepening our spirituality.

I have been listening to this podcast for a couple of years. I find John’s humility and graciousness and wisdom and humour very compelling and motivating. I also enjoy hearing about and from his dozens and dozens of good friends. I am grateful for this podcast.
I recently discovered this podcast from the other side of the world and instantly loved it! It’s like sitting down for coffee time with John each day as he reads and expands on scripture, highlighting context and deeper meanings, and how it applies to your life. What a gift to be able to glean from such a wise, grounded and knowledgable disciple of Jesus. Thank you John!
