    Evangelism For The Non-Evangelists

    07/10/2026 | 29 mins.
    But I'm not an evangelist! Well, that doesn't stop you from being evangelistic! In this wide-ranging conversation, Simon Wenham and Gavin Matthews chat with Graham Albans about how "normal people" can be sharing the gospel in everyday life. With reminders about authenticity, prayer, patience, and joyful living, there's plenty for everyone to consider in the day-to-day life of a Christian.
    Graham Albans is the Director of Mission & Outreach as part of the leadership team at Grace Community Church in Bedford, where he lives with his wife Jo and their three kids. After a decade at the BBC producing Chris Evans and Zoe Ball's breakfast shows, he studied at Oak Hill College, and is now also involved with the work of Speak Life and Keswick Ministries. His evangelistic book 'How One Weekend Can Give You Everything You Ever Wanted' (10ofThose) came out in 2025.

    Seeing Life Through A Lens: Worldview and Evangelism

    23/09/2026 | 28 mins.
    If a promising gospel discussion turns into an argument or reaches an impasse, that's often a sign of conflicting worldviews. Many of us don't think too much about our worldview, the underling values and assumptions that inform our more obvious beliefs and opinions about, for example, sexuality and gender. Recognising and discussing our worldviews can be a great way to progress gospel conversations without getting stuck on difficult issues like these. Simon Wenham and Gavin Matthews speak with author Andrew Bunt to find out how.
    Andrew Bunt has degrees in theology from Durham University and King's College London. He is the author of Getting God’s Perspective: A Short Christian Introduction to Worldviews, Sexuality and Gender along with several previous books. He serves as the Content Director for Living Out.

    Not Just Conversion: The journey of evangelism

    09/09/2026 | 32 mins.
    The Big 'Yes'. Conversion. Public declaration of faith. That's what evangelism is all about isn't it? That might be the destination, but the journey of faith is full of little 'yeses' and healthy 'maybes' as well. And sometimes, only God knows how important each step is for each individual. How can this perspective encourage us as we seek to share the gospel with those in our lives?
    Mark Greenwood is the Director of Evangelism for Elim Churches UK. He has been a full-time itinerant evangelist since 1988 and is an associate evangelist with J.John. He is a speaker, author, broadcaster and podcaster. His latest book is Big Yes, Little Yes, Healthy Maybe.

    Your Community, Your Questions

    26/08/2026 | 33 mins.
    Many people are afraid to share their faith because they're worried about the questions they might encounter. But one church chose to turn the tables on that idea. They asked the people of Maidenhead what questions they had for God. After receiving 468 responses, they invited respected Christian thinkers to give their answers to the most popular topics on the Maidenhead’s Questions Podcast. Here to tell us about the project are Adam and Ian from St Mary's Church Maidenhead.
    Listen to the podcast at maidenheadsquestions.co.uk/
    Adam Curtis is taller than the average doorframe, a Minister in Maidenhead, and co-host of Delight Podcast. He enjoys country walks, deep chats over cold pints and has recently got into gardening.
    Ian Miller is the other Associate Vicar at St Mary's Maidenhead. He practised as a barrister for 18 years before becoming a vicar. He is married to Tamsin, has four daughters and enjoys languages, running, history, woodwork and playing music.
