What listeners will find here

What kingdom authority looks like when it doesn’t feel powerful
Kingdom authority is the focus of this live special with Emily Layzell, Chloe Swart, and guest host Sarah Wynter. The conversation explores the gap between stories like Acts 3 and everyday faith, with honesty, scripture, and a memorable question about whether we ask or tell breakthrough to come.
Catherine Booth’s courage, equality, and why her witness still challenges the Church
Catherine Booth is the focus here as Danielle Strickland explores the life of the Salvation Army co-founder, preacher, and theologian. The episode highlights her courage, her insistence on equality, and why her example still feels urgent for the Church today.
A life of prayer, pain, and quiet courage through Bishop Esther Prior’s eyes
Renee Bridger’s story centers on chronic pain, intercession, and faithful endurance. Bishop Esther Prior reflects on being mentored by a woman who adopted three Black children in the 1970s, became part of the first group of women ordained in the Church of England, and treated prayer as her life’s work.
