Episode 234 - Insights On Spiritual Abuse & Biblical Discernment
2026/10/21
We kick things off today with a blind reaction to the new Narnia trailer (we have thoughts), before getting into some more serious questions about spiritual abuse and biblical discernment. Reflecting on our conversation with Liz Gregory from the Gloriavale Leavers Support Trust, Laura and I chat about red flags in Christian communities, how Scripture can be twisted or used to control people, and why asking questions doesn’t automatically mean you have a “critical spirit.”
We also talk about the responsibility of church leaders, why we need to know God’s Word for ourselves, and how to recognise when something isn’t quite right. The goal isn’t to become suspicious of every church or pick apart every Sunday service, but to grow in discernment, test what we’re taught against Scripture, and keep our eyes on Jesus. A little Narnia, a little serious conversation, and plenty to think about!

Episode 233 - Helping 'Gloriavale' Members Leave & Rebuild: Liz Gregory
2026/10/19
What does it take to help someone leave Gloriavale - and what happens once they’re out?
In this episode, we’re joined by Liz Gregory from the Gloriavale Leavers Trust, who shares the remarkable story of a network of Christians working behind the scenes to help people leave the religious fundamentalist NZ cult: Gloriavale. Through secret phones, late-night conversations and a commitment to sharing the gospel, this network has helped people find a way out and a new beginning. Since the Trust began, they have supported more than 300 people leaving Gloriavale - but leaving is only the beginning.
We talk about the challenges of starting again, learning to make decisions, rebuilding relationships and discovering what healthy Christian community looks like. Liz also shares why it’s so important to understand the difference between genuine biblical faith and spiritual control, alongside her own journey through infertility and the experiences that have shaped her work.
This is a fascinating, moving conversation about freedom, faith and walking alongside people as they rebuild their lives. ❤️

Episode 232 - Insights On Faith, Politics & Endurance
2026/10/14
In this Insights episode, Laura and I reflect on Part 2 of our conversation with Bob McCoskrie, chatting about everything from Christian perspectives on politics and voting to independent media, social media algorithms, and whether our faith is shaping our worldview or the other way around.
We also get into what it means to endure through difficult seasons, stand firm in our convictions, and raise children who will hold on to their faith even when it’s not the popular choice. Whether it’s politics, the media we consume, or the pressures of living out our faith, we hope this conversation encourages you to think biblically, practise discernment, and keep following Jesus through it all!

Episode 231 - A Warning to New Zealand Christians: Bob McCoskrie, Part 2
2026/10/12
In Part 2 of our chat with Bob McCoskrie from Family First, Bob has a warning for Christians in New Zealand: “The culture is turning up the heat on Christianity.” We chat about the growing challenges facing Christians, why speaking up about our faith matters, and what it looks like to stand firm in biblical truth when it’s not always popular. If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, click here to catch up!
We get into some big topics, from the nuclear family and gender ideology to immigration, multiculturalism, cancel culture and how the media has changed. Should Christians get involved in politics? How do we make informed decisions when it comes to voting? And what does Bob think about the under-16s social media ban? There’s plenty to unpack!
But it’s not all about the challenges. We also ask Bob what gives him hope for New Zealand and, of course, how he lives out his faith outside of Sunday. We hope this conversation gets you thinking, encourages you to stand firm in your faith, and reminds you that we all have a part to play in the world around us.

Now, this week we’re talking about Christian blessings and boldness - from why church still matters and the incredible benefits of being part of a Christian community, to whether Christians have become hesitant to openly live out their faith. We talk about bringing Scripture into politics, some fascinating research around church attendance and s*xual satisfaction, and what it looks like to keep following God when our faith is tested. We also catch up on Seeking Persephone and reflect on what it means to be unashamed of our faith, even when standing for what we believe comes with a cost.

Episode 229 - From Burnout to Building Family First: Bob McCoskrie, Part 1
2026/10/05
This week we're joined by Bob McCoskrie from Family First New Zealand. But before the public debates, the advocacy work and 20 years of Family First, there was a young man with a heart for ministry, a love of radio and a passion for reaching people with the truth. Bob takes us back to life before Family First, sharing his Christian testimony, his years working with young people, and how burnout and a growing awareness of the need for a voice for families began to shape his journey.
We chat about the temptation to compromise our Christian convictions, recognising when seasons come to an end, and how Family First came to be. We also get into why putting family first matters, whether Christianity is under attack in New Zealand, and the personal impact of the many battles, hits and losses Bob has experienced along the way. It's an honest and encouraging conversation about faith, standing firm in your convictions and seeking the Lord's direction through every season. Thank you for watching - I hope this episode blesses you! Part 2 out 13 October.

2026/09/30
In this Insights episode, we’re starting with a look at what’s going on in the online Christian space and chatting about our new favourite show! Then we’re getting into our reflections on Part 2 of our chat with Nathan Seulei from Pillar NZ, looking at social media, screens, parenting and patriotism - and what all of these things can look like through a Christian lens.
We unpack the conversation around the social media ban for under-16s, the impact of screens on children and family life, and our own experiences of trying to create a healthier relationship with technology. We also talk about what it means to love New Zealand and be patriotic as a Christian, while remembering that our ultimate allegiance is to God.

Episode 225 - Ministry Prepared Me for Politics: Nathan Seiuli, Part 1
2026/09/21
What happens when God takes you somewhere you never expected to go?
In Part 1 of our conversation with Nathan Seiuli from Pillar NZ, we hear the story behind how Nathan went from working in church ministry, to the Free Speech Union, and eventually to founding Pillar NZ.
Nathan shares about his Christian background, the unexpected doors that opened for him in political spaces and the media, and why he believes Christians can have a meaningful voice in places of influence.
We chat about faith, politics, civil liberties, speaking truth, the importance of living with integrity and faithfulness, and what it means to trust God with the opportunities He puts in front of us.
And perhaps one of the biggest challenges Nathan shares is this: it's not just about doing well now... it's about finishing well.
There's plenty more to unpack so make sure you're back for Part 2 on Tuesday!

Episode 224 - Insights on Hospitality & Trusting God When Life Hurts
2026/09/16
In this Insights episode, Laura and I unpack some of the big themes from Emma Robinson’s interview - from hospitality and opening our homes to others, to the much harder questions we wrestle with when life doesn’t go the way we hoped.
Laura talks about spending time in the Word and shares about her miscarriage. We also discuss infertility, grief and the question “What happens to babies who die in the womb?”, as well as what it looks like to trust God when we don’t understand why something has happened. We chat about finding peace in the middle of pain, caring well for friends who are grieving, and remembering that our purpose isn’t dependent on whether we become a Mum, a wife, or achieve the plans we had for our lives. It’s a deep one, but we hope it points you back to the goodness, nearness and faithfulness of God. 💛

Episode 223 - Bold Prayers & Being a Woman in Ministry: Emma Robinson, Part 2
2026/09/14
In Part 2 of my conversation with Emma Robinson, we’re getting into some of the harder and more faith-stretching parts of her story - learning to pray bold prayers while still trusting God with the outcome, navigating seasons of waiting, and finding purpose even when life doesn’t look the way you hoped it would. We also talk about the words that can hurt when you’re walking through infertility, and why sometimes simply showing up, listening and acknowledging someone’s loss can mean so much.
We also dive into Emma’s calling to speak and preach, what it has looked like navigating ministry as a woman when others don’t share the same convictions - people have even walked out while she was speaking. Through all of it, Emma’s heart is to follow God’s call, use the gifts He’s given her and point people back to Jesus. I loved this conversation and I hope it encourages you today!

Episode 222 - Thinking Matters Conference Wrap-Up
2026/09/09
In this episode, Laura and I are taking you behind the scenes of the Thinking Matters No Rivals conference in Auckland! We chat about some of our highlights from the weekend - from meeting the next generation of Christian thinkers to hearing from speakers like Annaliese and Nic Blackie, Dave Mann, Dr Luke Barnes and Abdu Murray, and recording some really great conversations along the way.
More than anything, we left the weekend so encouraged by what God is doing in the Christian space here in New Zealand. We talk about the importance of knowing why we believe what we believe, equipping the next generation, reaching people rather than rejecting them, and being willing to engage our nation with the gospel. We hope this episode leaves you encouraged and looking forward to the episode to come - we can't wait to share them with you!!

Episode 221 - Faith, Infertility & Unexplainable Peace: Emma Robinson, Part 1
2026/09/07
What happens when the life you thought you’d have doesn’t go according to plan? In this episode, I’m sitting down with Emma Robinson from Your Jesus Time to hear her story of growing up in a Christian home, coming to personally understand the gospel, studying at Bible college, meeting her husband, and finding your purpose in God.
Emma also shares vulnerably about her journey of trying to start a family, the questions and disappointment that came with waiting, and the moment she realised that her purpose couldn’t be dependent on becoming a mum. Then, in a deeply moving part of her story, she shares about losing her baby during the launch week of Your Jesus Time - and the unexplainable peace she and her husband experienced in the middle of their grief. This is a conversation about disappointment, purpose, lament, hope, and what it looks like to trust that God is still faithful when you can’t see what’s next.

Episode 220 - Insights on Modesty, Postpartum & Trusting God
2026/09/02
In this week’s Insights episode, Laura and I are talking honestly about motherhood, postpartum struggles and trusting God through the changing seasons of life. Laura shares her own experience with postpartum depression as we discuss the heartbreaking Lindsay Clancy case, the challenges many new mothers face, and the importance of support, understanding and taking postpartum mental health seriously.
We also reflect on the bittersweet reality of seasons coming to an end. As Laura prepares for her youngest child to start school, we talk about motherhood, identity, laying down passions for a season and remembering that the things God has placed in your heart don’t necessarily disappear forever. Motherhood is a season asks a lot from us - but the season isn’t forever.
Plus, we unpack the Cory Asbury and Forrest Frank shirtless photo controversy and share our thoughts on modesty, personal responsibility and avoiding judgment. We also discuss what to do when you're facing a big decision and God doesn’t seem to be giving you a clear answer. Wherever you find yourself right now, we hope this conversation encourages you to trust God with the season you’re in - and with whatever comes next.
