Join Izzy and Zach for an incredibly powerful conversation with Luke Thornton as he shares his radical journey from being a passionate atheist who debated Christians to encountering the truth of Jesus and discovering that faith is not opposed to reason but deeply grounded in it. This episode unpacks what it truly means to search for truth with intellectual honesty, the moment everything changed when watching a debate that challenged his atheism, and the transformative power of community and Alpha in bringing head knowledge to heart transformation.

Luke opens up about growing up in a completely secular household in Yorkshire, his frustration with Christians who claimed to believe but lived no differently, and the philosophical crisis he faced when realising that atheism left him with no free will, no objective morality, and ultimately no purpose. Discover how a two-hour debate between Sam Harris and William Lane Craig cracked open his worldview, how a Christian in a co-working space invited him to Alpha, and why he stopped swearing overnight the moment he said yes to Jesus.

Join Michelle, Zoe, and Sam as they continue their deep dive into 1 Thessalonians, unpacking chapter 2 and exploring what true ministry looks like—boldness in the face of opposition, humility in leadership, and love that mirrors both a nursing mother and an encouraging father. This episode examines Paul's powerful example of proclaiming the gospel with pure motives, not seeking praise from people but approval from God alone, and serving sacrificially without being a burden to others.

This conversation is a blueprint for anyone involved in ministry, leadership, or simply living out their faith in everyday life. It's a commissioning to stand firm, take back ground, and proclaim the gospel with boldness, knowing that Jesus has already won the battle and we are equipped through the Holy Spirit to fight against the schemes of the enemy.

Join Zach and Izzy for an exciting new Bible study series as they dive into 1 Thessalonians, exploring what it means to live out faith so radically that it transforms entire communities and spreads far beyond your own context. This episode unpacks 1 Thessalonians 1, looking at the powerful story of the early church in Thessalonica, a young community of believers who faced extreme persecution yet became known throughout the entire region for their faith, hope, and love.

Discover the backstory of Paul's mission to Thessalonica, how he was literally chased out of the city after preaching just three times, and why he felt compelled to write this letter of encouragement to a church he barely had time to establish. Zach and Izzy explore what it looks like to have joy in the midst of suffering, how faith produces work, love produces labor, and hope produces endurance, and why the early believers turned radically from idols to serve the living God.

Join Michelle and Zoe for an incredibly powerful and eye-opening conversation with Victoria as she shares her radical journey from helping build one of Australia's biggest OnlyFans agencies to encountering the transformative love of Jesus and walking away from a multimillion-dollar industry in just five days. This episode pulls back the curtain on the reality of OnlyFans, exposing the manipulation, deception, and exploitation behind an industry that promises freedom but delivers control.

Victoria’s story is ultimately a testimony of hope, freedom, and the kindness of God. She shares how a simple act of trying to feel better led her to a church, where she encountered people who didn't condemn her but listened to her, answered her questions, and showed her unconditional love.

This episode is for anyone struggling with pornography, comparison, or shame, for parents and youth leaders who want to understand how to protect and equip young people, and for anyone who wants to know how to show the kindness of God to people who are hurting.
