    Encouraged: Reflections on the Medhurst Ministries Weekender

    In this week’s episode of In Context, titled Encouraged, Ian and Steve reflect on the recent Medhurst Ministries event. They share how uplifted they were by the turnout, the many new faces, the new venue, and the wonderful hospitality of their hosts, Caring for Life. From the brilliant children’s work to teaching and worship that was good for the soul, the whole event left Ian, Steve, and many others grateful for the fellowship, refreshed by the teaching, and reminded most of all that they are deeply loved by Jesus.

  2. Finding a Good Local Church

    Finding a Good Local Church

    In this episode of In Context, Ian and Steve reflect on the challenges of finding a good local church after stepping down from pastoral ministry. They discuss the tensions involved in choosing a church: should we stay local and sacrifice some of our preferences for the sake of community and commitment, or travel further afield to find a church that better serves the needs of our families? With honesty and pastoral insight, they also ask whether, when we struggle to find a church we like, the problem may sometimes lie with us rather than the churches around us. Together, they explore what really matters when looking for a church family and how Christians can think wisely about belonging, serving, and worshipping in a local congregation.

    Walking Through the Mess of Life: An interview with Cee Kuhlmann

    In this emotive episode of In Context, Rachel speaks with Cee Kulemann as she shares her powerful story of coming to faith after setting out to disprove Christianity. From a life marked by chaos, childhood trauma, and its lasting effects into young and adult life, Cee reflects on how reading the Gospels led her to conviction, peace, and hope in Christ. Now serving alongside her husband, Matt, as a ministry apprentice with 20schemes at Grace Church Orkney, Cee reflects on the vital role of women’s ministry, the importance of walking alongside women who may be suffering in silence, and her desire to see the love of Christ shared throughout the local community.

    Tommy Robinson, Migration, Unite the Nation and the UK Church: An Interview with Justin Gill

    In this episode of the In Context podcast, Ian is joined by Justin Gill, Intercultural Ministry Advisor at FIEC. Born and raised in North Pakistan, Justin has worked in politics, relief operations, development, and cross-cultural church ministry, and now helps churches think carefully about intercultural mission in the UK. Together, Ian and Justin take an honest and pastoral look at some of the most pressing and contested issues facing Britain today: Tommy Robinson, migration, poverty, illegal immigration, the white working class, and calls to “unite the nation.” Rather than offering easy answers or party-political slogans, the conversation asks how the UK church can listen well, speak truthfully, love courageously, and remain faithful to the mission of Christ in a divided society.

    Intentional Living: An Interview with Natalie Williams

    In this episode of In Context, Rachel chats with Natalie Williams, CEO of Jubilee+, about what it means to live intentionally in a world where it has become easier than ever to avoid one another. From contactless payments and self-service tills to headphones and busy schedules, everyday life is often designed to keep us from noticing or speaking to the people around us. Natalie encourages the church and Christians to resist that drift and to be intentional about reaching out, especially to those who may feel ignored, overlooked, or pushed away. This conversation is a reminder that following Jesus means making space for people, choosing connection over convenience, and seeing those whom others might miss.

    Class, Culture, and the Cross: Aaron Reyes on Gospel Ministry from Texas to Birmingham

    Ian sits down with Aaron Reyes, a pastor and church planter from Texas now serving in Birmingham, to hear his journey from El Paso to gospel ministry in the UK. Aaron reflects on growing up in a Latino, working-class context, coming to faith as a young American football player, and being called to serve among working-class, multi-ethnic communities. Together, Ian and Aaron explore class, culture, ethnicity, fatherlessness, church planting, and how the gospel creates a new family that unites people across deep social and political divides. A rich and honest conversation about ministry, identity, and building churches centred on Christ among the overlooked and underserved.
