Andy is a superb comedian with two decades of experience on the road; but I think we were both taken by surprise at how ruthlessly honest and raw he was about the painful realities of relational breakdown in his private life. So the irony of this podcast is a funny man being extremely serious. I found it holy ground, and it makes for a beautiful interview.

Leading in Battle | Tim Cross CBE
As the boss of the largest of the three Divisions of the UK Field Army, Major General Tim Cross commanded around 30,000 men and women at one stage, having graduated through the ranks and serving in conflicts ranging from Northern Ireland to Kosovo and Iraq. A decade into his military career, he took a flight from Cyprus to Jerusalem and something happened in a garden there that totally shaped his life trajectory. It’s a great story!

Cabbages in the Desert | Dr Aila Tasse
Born into a devout Muslim family in Ethiopia, Aila was earnest in his pursuit of truth. On his deathbed with cerebral malaria, his school teacher visited him. That conversation was the start of a remarkable journey which has included persecution, adventure, and staggering fruitfulness amongst numerous unreached people groups steeped in witchcraft, animism and Islam.Check out: lifewayglobal.org---Order the Inspired Book nowSupport our work in Burundi: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspired ---Follow us on Instagram: @inspiredwith.sgWeekly episode WhatsApp link: greatlakesoutreach.org/whatsappWeekly email notification: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspiredemailFor more from Simon, visit: simonguillebaud.com---Produced by Great Lakes Outreach - Transforming Burundi & Beyond: greatlakesoutreach.org

Whether it’s planting thriving and multiplying churches both in Australia and the UK, pioneering a women’s leadership network, launching a successful magazine, or starting a charity in Africa, Bev remains a turbo-charged grandma still lecturing on leadership and completing her doctorate, having left school at 15! Described by her successor at the last church she co-led with husband Rick as ‘unstoppably brilliant’(!), she’s a ‘mother in the faith’ and mentor to many, and you’ll enjoy listening!
