20 Minutes and a Cup of Tea: One-to-One Bible Reading (with Felicity Carswell)

Felicity Carswell came to faith through a friend who showed up with chocolate and a copy of Mark's gospel. Twenty years later, she's convinced that one of the most powerful tools for discipleship and evangelism available to ordinary Christians is also one of the simplest: sitting down with someone, opening the Bible, and talking about it together.In this episode, Jonathan and Laurie talk with Felicity (co-host of the Two Sisters & a Cup of Tea podcast) about one-to-one Bible reading, what it actually is, how it differs from a small group study, how to handle misinterpretation, how to set healthy boundaries, and how to get started even when it feels completely out of your comfort zone.If you enjoyed this episode be sure to leave us a review on wherever you listen!  Also remember to share with friends and family; both of those actions will help us spread the word about the show.To check out theTwo Sisters & a Cup of Tea podcast, click here!

Evangelism Is a Way of Life (with Graham Albans)

Graham Albans spent a decade producing one of the biggest breakfast radio shows in Europe. Then he handed in his notice and went to work for a local church. His colleagues were kind, but confused. And his conversations about faith in that final three-month notice period outweighed the previous ten years combined.In this episode of 10ofThose, Jonathan and Laurie sit down with Graham to talk about what evangelism actually looks like for ordinary Christians. They explore why Easter is every Sunday, why giving away a book makes you an evangelist, what it means to build a church culture that's evangelistically hot and socially warm, and why reading gospel material is as good for believers as it is for seekers. Make sure to stay to the very end of the episode for the story of John, a widower in his sixties who received a little Easter book, read it, gave his life to Jesus, and bought copies for his nieces instead of Easter eggs!If you enjoyed this episode be sure to leave us a review on wherever you listen!  Also remember to share with friends and family; both of those actions will help us spread the word about the show.For more information about Graham's new book How One Weekend Can Give You Everything You Ever Wanted, please click here!To check out the Everything You Ever Wanted podcast, click here!

Immigration, Compassion, and the Image of God (with Jen Oshman)

Immigration is one of the most heated and polarizing issues in public life. But for Christians, it cannot remain an abstract political debate; behind every news story are real people all made in the image of God.In this episode, Jonathan and Laurie are joined by Jen Oshman to think carefully and compassionately about immigration, the global church, and the way Christians should respond in a divided culture. Jen reflects on what she saw at the US-Mexico border, why it matters to humanize everyone involved, and how families can raise children who understand dignity, justice, and the worth of every person.If you enjoyed this episode be sure to leave us a review on wherever you listen!  Also remember to share with friends and family; both of those actions will help us spread the word about the show.For more information about Jen's latest books, please click here!

Why Do We Go To Church?

Why is it that we actually go to church? Not just because we always have. Not just because it’s Sunday. But if everything were stripped back, what would we say remains essential? In this episode, Jonathan and Laurie reflect on the purpose of church life. They talk about corporate worship, preaching, pastoral care, the struggle of inconsistent attendance, the excuses of travel and busyness, and the tension between feelings and faithfulness. They also explore how church shapes us over time, often through ordinary faithfulness rather than dramatic spiritual moments, and why gathering with God’s people is more formative than we sometimes realise.If you enjoyed this episode be sure to leave us a review on wherever you listen!  Also remember to share with friends and family; both of those actions will help us spread the word about the show.For seasonal outreach resources and ideas, please visit either our US or UK based sites.

A Leap of Faith: The Story of 10ofThose USA

In this episode, Laurie sits down with Jonathan to talk through the decision to leave the UK and begin 10ofThose in the United States. They reflect on the fears, missteps, encouragements, and unexpected provisions that marked those early years, as well as the ongoing challenge of trusting God without knowing outcomes. Along the way, they explore what faithful risk looks like, how to weigh responsibility without paralysis, and why obedience to God's will often comes before clarity.If you enjoyed this episode be sure to leave us a review on wherever you listen!  Also remember to share with friends and family; both of those actions will help us spread the word about the show.For seasonal outreach resources and ideas, please visit either our US or UK based sites.
