    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.

Never Beyond Hope! | Mez McConnell
Q: What is the core mission of 20 Schemes and why does it matter?
The aim is to plant or revitalize 20 gospel-centered churches in Scotland's poorest communities, reflecting the communities they serve and creating sustainable, incarnational ministry that reaches people on estate levels where most gospel outreach has been lacking.
Never Beyond Hope! | Mez McConnell
Q: How did the Bible college experience shape your ministry and the 20 Schemes vision?
Bible college exposed me to different people and disciplines; I had also needed boundaries and a structured environment after years of chaos. Despite early clashes, I learned about building a community, which later translated into planting and revitalizing churches across Scotland as 20 Schemes.
Never Beyond Hope! | Mez McConnell
Q: What was your turning point toward faith while you were in prison and around street life?
A group of Christians kept visiting me in prison, they'd play football and share messages about Jesus; their consistent love gradually moved me to explore the Bible, leading to a Romans-based conviction and a personal sinner's prayer that wasn't mystical, but real and transformative.
The Power and the Glory | Arthur White
Q: Tell us about your roots, your background, early life as a kid.
Arthur describes growing up on a council estate in Essex, early work as a carpenter, and a lifelong drive to work hard, which laid the foundation for his athletic career and later life choices.
Still Wild at Heart! | John Eldredge
Q: How did you hear the voice of God and decide to change your travel plans for the UK conferences?
He describes listening prayer and obedience as essential, noting a clear prompt to alter his flights which, though costly, proved timely as events unfolded with 9/11 and allowed meaningful ministry in a traumatized period.
