  • Amazing podcast

    It’s really encouraging to hear how God is working through Simon and his guests, and how He is also at work doing amazing things in the mission field. Definitely worth a listen.

    A fantastic weekly dose of good news in a difficult, uncertain world. Great to hear so many people’s stories and experiences with faith. It reminds me God is still good, still at work and bringing transformation in extraordinary ways. Perfect for my Saturday morning run. Thank you so much!

  • 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.

  • God is alive and working!

    Thank you so much for this excellent podcast. It can be so easy to get caught up in the doom and gloom of what’s going on across the world. But this hour or so every week, reminds us that God is alive, growing his kingdom and working miracles all around the world. If you’re ever feeling down, stick this on and hear the amazing stories of what God is doing in the lives of people who gave their yes, and their fishes and loaves. My only complaint is there’s not enough - how about one everyday. Alth... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
The Faithful Scientist | John Lennox
Q: Would you credit your father and his gentle, steady witnesses as the key shapers to your faith journey?
Yes. My father modeled ethical steadfastness and treated everyone as made in the image of God, which left a deep imprint. He encouraged thoughtful engagement with scripture and allowed space to think, which became foundational for my approach to faith and dialogue.
