    JR Abenes

    "Never underestimate what God can do with a simple invitation, a word of encouragement, or a small act of kindness. We may plant and water, but God gives the growth ultimately." — JR Abenes. Today on the podcast, I am deeply blessed to sit down with our brother JR Abenes from the Canberra Church of Christ. JR grew up in a traditional Catholic household in the Philippines, but an ordinary Sunday invitation from a neighbour planted a tiny seed that changed the entire trajectory of his life. From navigating deep family grief as a young boy to a 4:00 AM bathtub baptism, JR’s story is a beautiful testament to how God's quiet providence connects the dots in our lives when we trust Him. Whether you are a parent looking for encouragement, a young Christian seeking direction, or someone wondering if your small acts of service matter to God, JR gave the right encouragement. It was a blessing and encouragement to me to hear and share his amazing story. Big thanks to JR!

    Claire Whitcombe

    Today, I'm joined by Claire Whitcombe, a faithful Christian, mum of two young teenagers, and a loving wife to her husband Mark. Claire grew up in Canberra as a preacher’s kid at the Canberra Church of Christ, so she was surrounded by an incredibly warm, hospitable church community. But as a teenager, she reached a point where she knew she needed to make her faith her own. Since then, Claire has walked with the Lord across different countries and communities, and today, serving heavily in children's Bible ministries. Claire and her family worship with the Macquarie Church of Christ. So with that — let's get right into it.

    Richard Birkett

    Faith journey, transformation, and hope.In this special episode, I sit down with Richard Birkett, a faithful and long-time Christian from my home congregation (the Canberra Church of Christ). Richard shares his lifelong faith journey, from his early confirmation in the Presbyterian Church to finding deeper truth in the Canberra Church of Christ after responding to a Bible course advertisement in 1978 by Ian Grant. He reflects on baptism, ongoing learning through Scripture, and how God’s providence guided him. Richard also speaks on overcoming personal loss with hope and the support of his church family and God's Word, encouraging us in persevering, enduring, sincere, lasting faith.

    Jules Cseszkó

    A conversation about Jules’ journey of faith, the experiences that shaped his understanding of God, and the ways his walk with Christ has influenced his life and perspective over the years. Jules has encouraged me in many ways. His love for God, the way he teaches, and the way he leads singing, so I'm super blessed to have a chat with him today. Jules has such an amazing story. From his early years in Adelaide, to being baptised as a teenager, to preaching, evangelising, teaching music, leading worship around Australia and the U.S, and helping train hundreds of worship leaders. He's such an amazing guy, and I think you’ll really like hearing his amazing story.
