Thankful for so much! In this final episode of 2025, Laura and I sit down to reflect on the year that’s been for Outside of Sunday. Neither of us expected this to be so emotional! We share some of the podcast stats and milestones from the year, talk honestly about the highs and the hard moments, and give a bit of behind-the-scenes insight into what it actually looks like to run this ministry day to day. We also answer your listener questions – from how the podcast is funded and how guests or ...
In this Insights episode of Outside of Sunday, Laura and I reflect on Part 2 of my recent conversation with Kristen from Defend Young Minds, unpacking the things that lingered with us afterwards. We talk honestly about the growing use of AI, the question of whether our kids’ faces belong on public social media, and how much technology is actually helpful in family life. We also spend time discussing shame, guilt, and godly sorrow — why shame can fuel secrecy and addiction, and how, as parents...

In Part 2 of our conversation with Kristen from Defend Young Minds, we dive deeper into the mental health harms of pornography and what addiction can look like in young people. Kristen shares practical, hope-filled guidance for parents—what to do if your child has already been exposed, how shame and secrecy keep kids trapped, and why today’s devices and AI-driven platforms have created new dangers like sextortion and predatory behaviour online. We...
In this Insights episode of Outside of Sunday, Laura and I unpack some of the big themes raised in Kristen’s conversation about protecting our kids in a world soaked in technology. We talk openly about our own first exposures to pornography, why it’s no longer just an “adult issue,” and how the internet has become the biggest gateway for children today. We dig into practical questions every parent wrestles with - sleepovers, screens, first mention, and whether we want our kids learning from u...
Click here to watch this episode on YouTube. In this week’s episode of Outside of Sunday, I sit down with Kristen Jenson from Defend Young Minds - a leading voice in protecting children from the harms of pornography. Kristen shares how a heartbreaking story of sibling abuse first moved her to create the book Good Pictures Bad Pictures, and we talk honestly about why equipping our kids is one of the most loving things we can do as parents. We unpack why pornography is linked to sexual abuse, ...
In this Insights episode of Outside of Sunday, Laura and I unpack some of the themes raised in Charlotte’s testimony - from identity and idols to sanctification and the beauty of a life anchored in Jesus. We share how subtle idols can creep into our hearts, and look at the human condition through the lens of the Israelites, the temptation to put other things before God, and the danger of a “Jesus plus” gospel. Laura and I also speak about the different stages of the Christian walk, extending ...
Today we pick up on Charlotte's story after hearing part one last week and follow her journey as she returns to New Zealand. From getting engaged and building the life she always wanted to stepping into early married years with a shared Christian faith, life was good! We hear about the dreams she and her husband shared, including their first Bali trip and the hope of living between two worlds, and how Charlotte began thriving in an influencer niche she loved. Everything seems perfect… until 2...
In today’s Insight episode, we’re reflecting on part one of our chat with Charlotte and talking about why it’s so valuable to hear from believers across the Christian spectrum - different backgrounds, different traditions, and different stages of their walk with Jesus. But our main reflection today is all about Christian parenting. We dive into the swirl of online parenting advice, talk about why discipline isn’t the same as abuse, look at what Ephesians 6 teaches us, and chat through the di...
In part one of our chat with Mum and social media influencer Charlotte (@_charlotteemily__), she shares the story of her life - from a childhood marked by instability to the complicated journey of making sense of her past. Beginning with her Dad’s radical conversion and her parents’ early faith, Charlotte describes how that thread of belief remained through the years, even as her family drifted from church and home life grew increasingly unpredictable. She reflects on the impact of her Mum’s ...
In today’s Insights episode, get ready for a relaxed (and slightly silly) chat sparked by our incredible previous guest, Riley Kehoe. From troll comments about my “hideous” Kiwi accent to why I genuinely believe Christians should be the most excited people at Christmas - it’s definitely tangent city, but I hope it blesses you and leaves you with a smile on your face. And while there’s plenty of light-heartedness, I also wanted to share the one big takeaway Riley’s story left me with: unity. N...
In part two of our chat with Riley, she opens up about the life-altering moments that shaped her faith - from the tsunami she survived in part one, to (in this episode) the split-second courage it took to help save a drowning man in the middle of a stormy ocean. Riley shares honestly about facing death head-on, what those moments revealed about God, and how they matured her walk with Jesus. We also dive into her journey through singleness - the difference between closed vs open singleness, a...
In part 1 of this powerful testimony, Riley Kehoe shares how her childhood trip to Thailand in 2004 turned life-changing. At just ten years old, Riley and her family experienced the 9.1 earthquake and the devastating tsunami that followed - the deadliest natural disaster of the 21st century. From prophetic dreams that led her family to New Zealand, to the moment she saw the wave racing toward them, Riley recounts her story of courage, trauma, and a good God who carried her through it all. Wit...
In today's episode, I'll be sharing an update regarding Amelia Fowler, and reflect on her beautiful legacy of faith. I'm also taking a look at some of your comments from Henare’s viral clip, react to Wes Huff’s episode, and touch on the Cookie Time controversy (yes, really). Later in the episode, we will switch to a recording from the Truth Matters conference, where Laura and I sat down right as it was wrapping up to share our thoughts on the speakers, the moments that stood out, and what it...
In this episode of Outside of Sunday, I sit down with Aaron and Emma Falconer — the amazing husband-and-wife duo behind Come and Know Me. Their passion for Christ and the gospel is inspiring and I'm incredibly grateful for their mission to platform scriptural truth is such a creative way. It's beautiful. Aaron and Emma share the heart behind Come and Know Me, the impact it’s having here in New Zealand, and what’s coming next - including the Romans Project and Festival One. They also ope...
In this special episode of Outside of Sunday, Christa sits down with Christian apologist and podcaster Wesley Huff for some Kiwi Snacks and Christian Chats! From Grainwaves and Pineapple Lumps to L&P and Whittaker’s, every snack comes with a big question about life, truth, and living out our faith. Wes shares how his pursuit of truth shapes his faith, what life has been like since appearing on the Joe Rogan podcast, and his thoughts on the rapture, end times, and the “man on the desert i...
Today's episode is a sobering one, but such an important listen. I sat down with Tony and Louisa from Child Rescue at the Thinking Matters 'Truth Matters' conference. Child Rescue is an organisation working to locate and free children trapped in exploitation around the world. In this episode you'll hear what this work actually looks like - where the children are being rescued from, how the raids happen, and the heartbreaking reality of the trauma no child should have to endure. One story I ca...
This chat was recorded at the Truth Matters Conference - and it wasn’t even supposed to happen! Todd Funk stepped in at the last minute to fill in for astrophysicist Dr. Luke Barnes, and with no prep and no plan, we hit record and went with the flow. What came out was one of the most genuine and inspiring conversations as Todd shared his passion with us. Todd talks about how the 4–14 window is the most strategic - and often overlooked - harvest field in the Christian world. From his work wit...
In this second part of our chat with Henare Whaanga, we pick up where we left off - asking what’s contributed to the shift away from Christianity in Māoridom, and whether faith and culture can truly coexist. If you’ve ever wrestled with how to honour your culture while following Christ, I hope this conversation will bless you. Henare shares his thoughts on navigating identity, subjectivism, and the growing resurgence of Māori spirituality. We also touch on whether a spiritual experience alon...
In this episode, I sit down with Henare Whaanga at the Truth Matters Conference for an honest chat about faith and identity. Henare shares his journey to Christ and what it’s been like walking with Jesus as Māori - which hasn’t always been easy... We tackle big questions too, like whether Christianity was just a tool of colonisation, and how forgiveness radically shaped Māori in the 19th century. It’s real, thought-provoking, and such an important conversation to have. Part two drops 23 Octob...
In this Insights episode of Outside of Sunday, Christa and Laura start by catching up on the very first Outsider Retreat - sharing a few highlights, from late-night karaoke to a beautiful shared communion. Then, they reflect on MK’s powerful two-part episode, revisiting the story, their reactions, and the deeper lessons about faith, surrender, and spiritual growth that came through it all.
