In part one, we heard about Dianna’s ministry reaching women in the brothels of Pattaya and beyond. In this second part, we step into her own story - growing up in California, walking away from God while enjoying success in Hollywood, and the pain of abuse that marked her childhood and married life. But her testimony doesn’t end in brokenness. Dianna shares how truth came to light, justice was done, and how God redeemed deep wounds. This conversation is raw and honest - but full of hope in a ...
In this moving episode of Outside of Sunday, Christa speaks with Dianna from Free Rain International, an organisation dedicated to rescuing and restoring victims of s*x trafficking. From the heartbreaking reality of life in slums and brothels to the story of the very first girl freed, Dianna shares the challenges, victories, and gospel-centered hope at the heart of their work. Together they discuss the invisible chains of slavery, the risks of confronting brothel owners, the trauma survivors ...
Hey Outsiders, this week’s episode is a little different. Laura and I are taking time to reflect on the shocking m*rder of Charlie Kirk and the way it’s impacted Christians here in New Zealand and around the world. We’re also joined by the hosts of The Conservative Pentecostal, Phil Me In, and Whispers of Grace podcasts, who share their own thoughts and encouragement. Something has shifted. For many of us, Charlie’s death has raised big questions about fear, courage, and what it really means...
In this episode, I sit down with my cousin Allen - our very first male guest on Outside of Sunday! We dive deep into a topic that’s fascinating and a little mind-bending: angels, demons, and everything in between. We unpack misconceptions, explore cherubim, seraphim, the Nephilim, and even touch on the book of Enoch and UFOs - all while keeping a focus on what the Bible actually says, and making it clear what it doesn’t. These are interesting topics, sometimes challenging, but an incredibly t...
In this special collab with 'Her Theology', Christa sits down with Cass to talk about why the church needs both real testimonies and solid theology. One without the other just doesn’t work - we need stories that remind us of God’s goodness, and truth from Scripture to keep us grounded. But this is OOS, so of course the conversation doesn’t end there! Cass and Christa go down all kinds of trails: from viral reels and hidden sin, to porn and love addiction, even new age beliefs and aliens 👀. T...
In this Insights episode, we're diving into something that’s been on everyone’s radar - the animated movie K-Pop Demon Hunters. After Lydia’s testimony last week (where she shared so much about her encounters with demons), it felt right to pull these two together - taking the opportunity to learn from her experience and compare what we see in the movie with the word of God. I’ll share a bit of my own story too (including nightmares and sleep paralysis), unpack what this movie is really saying...
In part two of our chat with Lydia, she shares her incredible journey of transformation in Christ. Building on her battles with addiction, witchcraft, and demonic oppression, Lydia opens up about once believing she could be an LGBT Christian - until she was confronted with the Word of God and realised she had to walk away. She testifies to God’s miraculous healing of her endometriosis, His call to holiness, and the boldness He’s given her to live unashamed for Jesus. This conversation points ...
In this episode of Outside of Sunday, I sit down with Lydia to hear her powerful testimony of how God rescued her out of deep brokenness. Before she even finished high school, Lydia was battling s*lf-harm, addiction, and drug-induced psychosis that left her tormented by darkness and overwhelmed by despair. She shares about terrifying encounters with demons and the moment she felt ready to end her life. But in her lowest point, after an overdose, Lydia cried out to Jesus - and everything chan...
In this Insights episode of Outside of Sunday, Laura and I have a rich conversation about what it really means to handle disagreements in the body of Christ. We talk about everything from repentance within our families to keeping short accounts with the Lord, and how grace, gentleness, and love should guide the way we speak. We also get into friendships across different denominations, rejecting tribalism, and why fragile theology can so often leads to offence. With personal stories, bib...
Could you forgive someone who left you in pain for the rest of your life? In part two of Janneke’s story, she shares how a botched surgery left her in constant pain - and the incredible journey that led her to forgive the surgeon responsible. She opens up about the court proceedings, reconciling her condition with the Lord, and finding peace even when the miracle she prayed for didn’t come. In the midst of pain in every step, Janneke shows what it means to grow in grace and live faithfully f...
In this episode of Outside of Sunday, we’re sitting down with Janneke - a fellow Christian podcaster whose faith took on new depth when pride was revealed in her heart and the unexpected journey of becoming a step-mum later in life. Raised in a strong Christian home, Janneke wrestled with pride in her so-called “faithfulness,” only to be gently humbled by God and refined through deep study of His Word. She opens up about her season of singleness and the unique joys and challenges of ent...

In Part 2 of our conversation with Johanna, we explore her journey of untangling New Age beliefs after coming to know Jesus. She opens up about visiting a medium out of desperation to connect with her late brother - something she now sees as spiritually dangerous. We talk about how she began growing in her faith, learning to read the Bible using tools like the SOAP method, and how The Chosen helped her understand Scripture in a fresh way. Johanna also shares the cost of coming out as a Chris...
She was a mindset coach with a huge online following, she trusted the universe, pursued manifestation and mindset work - but it was exhausting and Johanna was still searching. In Part 1 of our conversation, Johanna shares about growing up in Germany, her Catholic roots, and the heartbreaking loss of her brother after a long battle with cancer. We talk about how that loss impacted her spiritually, her move to New Zealand, and how her new age journey which took a surprising turn after meeting h...
In today's Insights episode, Christa reflects on the moving two-part testimony shared by Kate Robinson, responding to listener comments and diving into how God mets us in our darkest moments. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 1:8–9, she explores the tension between unbearable suffering and the God of all Comfort. Christa shares heartfelt encouragement for those asking, “How can God be good when life feels so unfair?” - pointing us back to Eden, the reality of sin, and the comfort of Christ’s presenc...
In Part 2 of our conversation with Kate, she shares the spiritual, emotional, and physical toll of perimenopause - and how God met her in the midst of it. From severe memory loss (so intense she thought she had early-onset dementia) to anger, severe joint pain and identity shifts, this season tested everything: her mind, her faith, and her marriage. But through it all, Kate clung to the Lord. She learned to lament, to lean on scripture (2 Chronicles 20:12), and to surrender what she couldn’t ...
Kate has walked through some deep valleys, but through it all, she has carried herself with a gentle but unwavering faith. In Part 1 of our chat, Kate opens up about growing up as a pastor’s kid, her gift for good taste, and her journey into personal styling… before moving on to share about the heartbreak of losing her baby girl at 20 weeks, all while Kate and her husband’s business collapsed in a single day. We hear about: 🕊️ The comfort God gave her in the loss of baby Violet 💼 Losing a bus...
This episode is a bit of a heart check. Christa shares some honest reflections on Jenna’s raw and vulnerable episode, where she opened up about her affair and the beauty of God’s redemption. We’re talking humility, failure, and what true repentance really looks like. What does it mean to forgive like Christ? How do we fail well, restore correctly, and resist the small compromises that slowly erode a marriage? From the woman caught in adultery to the image of Jesus holding back wrath, this co...
Jenna was a pastor’s wife when her affair went public. In this powerful conclusion to her story, she shares the painful fallout - how the truth came out, the story went viral, and how she endured years of targeted messages and public shame. But even in the middle of heartbreak and humiliation, God wasn’t done. Jenna opens up about her husband’s unexpected response, the journey of rebuilding their marriage, and the grace that met her in the mess. This is a raw, honest, and deeply redemptive st...
Jenna’s story is one of unimaginable pain, radical courage, and the redeeming love of God. From growing up in a broken home in New Jersey, walking through childhood abuse, and becoming pregnant as a teen - Jenna was told her baby wouldn’t survive and was offered a termination the next day. But she said no. Her baby lived for 54 minutes. And in the middle of that heartbreak… Jesus was in the room.
