Hi there and welcome to Episode 26!

This is our 1st episode of our series we have called Around the Table (ATT) with Special Guest and friend, Sammy Biggs!

In this first episode, we sit down to unpack what reverence really means from a biblical perspective—focusing in on the idea of the fear of the Lord, one of the key ways the Bible describes it. What does that actually look like, and how should we understand it today?

We’re joined by special guest Sammy Biggs, a teacher, good friend, and member of our men’s group, who brings his own insight and experience into the conversation.

Pull up a chair and join us.

Hi there and welcome to Episode 22!

This is our 5th episode of our series with Special Guest Chris Christensen!

In this episode, we sit down with Chris to hear about his travels to New Zealand and the unexpected moments that shaped his faith along the way.

Along the way, the conversation takes a fascinating turn as Chris unpacks a biblical idea you may never have considered before: why God is described as left-handed.

It’s a wide-ranging, thoughtful, and surprisingly fun conversation you won’t want to miss

Hi there and welcome to Episode 21!

This is our 4th episode of our series with Special Guest Chris Christensen!

This week we’re joined by Chris for a wide-ranging conversation that blends travel, podcasting, and faith in the modern world.

We start by unpacking Chris’s travels and the stories he’s gathered along the way, including insights from his own show, The Amateur Travellers Podcast. From unexpected cultural moments to what travel teaches you about people, it’s a relaxed and reflective look at life on the road.

The conversation then shifts into a thoughtful discussion about Christianity across different countries today. We explore how many societies are becoming more accepting/tolerant of Christianity in general, while also noting where the line is often drawn — particularly around public preaching and proselytizing. It’s an honest, nuanced chat about faith, freedom, and how belief is expressed in an increasingly global and pluralistic world.

A great episode for anyone who enjoys travel stories, podcasting talk, or deeper conversations about culture and faith.

Hi there and welcome to Episode 20!

This is our 3rd episode of our series with Special Guest Chris Christensen!

This episode begins by finishing our discussion on his work in juvenile hall ministry — reflecting on what that environment is really like, the realities faced by the young people there, and what it means to show up faithfully when hope can feel thin.

From there, the conversation shifts to Chris’s time helping a church in Tanzania. He shares what he learned serving in a culture shaped by a deep sense of community, family, and relational responsibility, and how that way of life contrasts with what many of us experience in the Western world.

It’s a thoughtful and grounded conversation that challenges how we think about faith, community, and what it truly means to belong.

Hi there and welcome to Episode 19!

This is our 2nd episode of our series with Special Guest Chris Christensen!

Episode 19 features our second conversation with Chris Christensen, where he gives a clear, honest look into his prior work in juvenile hall.

Chris walks through how he got involved, what the role actually looked like on a practical level, the numbers and scale of the environment, and what home life was like for many of the young people he encountered. It’s a straightforward, real-world explanation of ministry in a space most people never see up close.

This is a great episode for encouragement for anyone considering evangelism or ministry in tough, under-volunteered environments. Not hype, not dramatized — just a realistic picture of what showing up faithfully can look like, and why these spaces matter.
