In Part Two of our chat with Jessica Murphy from Craft to Christ, we focus on the Christian backlash she faced after leaving witchcraft and choosing to follow Jesus. Jess opens up about the judgement and suspicion she experienced from other believers, and how painful it can be when the very community meant to offer love and support becomes a source of hurt. We talk about how this impacts new converts, and what it really looks like to walk in love with those who are new to faith. This episode ...

Drawing on their own background in faith healing spaces, they reflect honestly on figures like Todd White, discuss why these patterns have persisted for so long, and explore how gifting, charisma, and powerful testimonies can sometimes be elevated above faithfulness, character, and quiet obedience to Christ. This conversation isn’t about “charismatic vs conservative”, but a...

In this inspiring session from the 2025 Outsider Retreat, our friend Julie Colbeth opens God’s Word and gently brings us back to the simplicity of the gospel through 1 John. Many of us know we are saved - yet we can experience seasons where it doesn’t feel that way. Julie helps us make sense of the gap between what we experience and what Scripture teaches, reminding us not to hide in the darkness, that joy is meant to be full, and that believers still need the simple message of salvation. Mak...

In Part 1 of our conversation, we sit down with Miriam and trace the foundations of her faith journey - from growing up in Warkworth as a pastor’s kid to navigating a secular high school with a (self-confessed) immature faith.

The conversation then turns to singleness and dating within the Christian world - including the pressures, p...
