PODCAST: Aimee Talbot on Jesus the Heart Healer

Aimee Talbot likes riding her new bike, and has a massive pastoral heart. It’s not pastoral as in, “let’s drink a latte and be nice to each other,” but more like, “I am fiercely committed to your growth in Christlikeness.”

We spoke about all sorts of things from Africa, to migration grief, to equipping prayer ministers, to the way we view God, to helping Sudanese war survivors find healing from trauma. Throughout this chat I could hear Aimee’s desire for Jesus’ healing to reach all the places of brokenness in our hearts.

  • Aimee also referred to four books by Phil Mason.

PODCAST: Amit Khaira on the formation of the next generation of disciples

Amit runs the innovative one-year Catalyst program, which is “designed to provide students with a learning environment that invites a deeper discovery of God’s heart for the world. It’s an opportunity to unearth a deep sense of personal purpose by investigating a range of issues and innovative responses.”

At the heart of all this, you’ll hear his desire to inspire and provoke the next generation of disciples to get out there and follow Jesus in whatever sphere of life they happen to be.
