  • Fuel

    I mean, every single episode just brings me more into our King’s presence. Truly inspired, and encouraging. Each story fuels me for more, bringing me into a greater connection with Jesus through shared experiences. Like many, I have my own stories but to hear those of others expands my understanding and hunger for more of Jesus. Love it. Keep it going, Simon.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Passionate Professor | Dr James Tour
Q: Tell us about the sort of life disciplines that have allowed you to be so productive, like hundreds of publications and dozens of companies.
He emphasizes daily, meditative scripture reading as foundational to success, citing Joshua 1:8-9 and Psalm 1, and describes a disciplined routine of slow, prayerful study that deepens understanding and aligns his work with his faith.
From Hamsters to High Sheriff | Mark Mitchell
Q: Tell us about 2017 and what happened.
Mark describes a sudden, severe brain hemorrhage during Spring Harvest holidays, the immediate surgery, and the surrounding fear and faith. He explains how the near-death experience spurred a renewed sense of urgency and purpose, and how a supportive circle helped him navigate anxiety and mortality.
Hearing God | Hellie Glynn
Q: How do you approach hearing God's voice in a way that can be tested and trusted?
Hellie emphasizes relaxing into a two-way conversation with God, testing impressions against Scripture, and sharing what she senses while testing it with the Lord, the Bible, and trusted mentors.
The Faithful Scientist | John Lennox
Q: What stands out about your Dawkins/Hitchens/Singer debates and their lessons for engaging with skeptics?
The Birmingham debate against Dawkins became a platform that many found convincing, especially when we focused on the Resurrection as the cornerstone of Christian claim to truth. The key lesson is to rely on reason and evidence while maintaining charity and patience with the opposition.
The Faithful Scientist | John Lennox
Q: What was the impact of your encounter with the Nobel Prize-winning scientist at Cambridge, and what did you resolve that day?
I was challenged by the scientist to abandon faith, but I pressed for what he could offer that was better than Christ. I walked away sticking with Jesus, noting that the encounter steeled my resolve to promote evidence-based discussion and not browbeat others, a turning point in how I engaged with critics.
