The J.John Podcast: Recent Episodes
J.John
Do you need a faith-lift? An infusion of faith, hope and love? The J.John Podcast is a weekly dose of encouragement and inspiration to give you confidence in your faith and confidence to share your faith.
This week, J.John speaks with Francis Collins, who served as the director of the National Institute of Health for 12 years and directed the National Human Genome Research Institute. During this conversation, Francis reflects on his journey from atheism to faith, sparked by a simple yet profound question: "What do you believe?"
This week, J.John is joined by Revd Dr Simon Vibert, who grew up in Jersey and reflects on his journey in Christian faith and ministry. In this conversation, he talks about living a distinctively Christian life, including learning to navigate times of spiritual challenge and periods of feeling under condemnation. He also considers the “armour of God” and what it means in everyday discipleship, offers reflections from the book of Exodus, and shares thoughtful advice for pastors and preachers drawn from his experience in ministry.
This week, J.John is joined by Lucy Peppiatt, theologian and President of Westminster Theological Centre, which equips people for ministry through accessible, part-time theological training. She is also the author of Rediscovering Scripture’s Vision for Women and teaches The Discipleship Course, both reflecting her commitment to thoughtful and accessible theological formation. Having spent time in Zimbabwe, Lucy shares some of the experiences that have shaped her journey, including a striking story involving prayer, provision, and a simple lettuce. In this conversation, she reflects on her role at Westminster Theological Centre, the vision behind its approach to training, and the importance of forming and supporting those preparing for ministry today.
This week, J.John is joined by Dr Sarah C. Williams, a historian with deep Christian roots as the granddaughter of evangelist Tom Rees and daughter of Jennifer Rees Larcombe.
Trained in history at Oxford University, Sarah brings a rich historical perspective to faith and society, with a particular focus on the life and legacy of Josephine Butler and her impact as a pioneering social reformer. In this conversation, she reflects on Butler’s courage and convictions, and what they can teach us today about faith in action, especially for women sensing a call to preach and lead.
Sarah also shares from her own life, including the loss of a child, and how that experience has shaped her understanding of grief, faith, and hope alongside her study of history and Christian witness.
This week, J.John speaks with Professor John C Lennox, mathematician, author and Christian apologist. Together, they discuss his new autobiography and book "God, AI and the End of History", drawing out reflections from his life and faith story as they explore what Christianity means at its core.
This week, J.John is joined by Migdalia van der Hoven, a professional drummer whose journey began in Mexico, growing up in a Christian and musical family and playing in church from the age of eight. After studying at Berklee College of Music, she went on to build a career performing at the highest level, including in London’s West End. In this conversation, Migdalia reflects on the realities of life behind the scenes; balancing her work as a musician with being a wife and mum, and the challenges of holding together family life, faith, and a demanding career. Named Mexican Woman of the Year in 2022, her story offers an honest look at calling, perseverance, and what it means to stay grounded while navigating a busy and creative life.
This week, J.John is joined by Debra Green, who shares of encountering God in a deeply personal way on her wedding day. After going on to pastor Ivy Church in Manchester, Debra became increasingly aware of the challenges facing her city, once labelled “Gunchester,” and began gathering hundreds of churches to pray. In this conversation, she also shares from her own family life, including the arrest of her son during her time in leadership, and the remarkable story of prayer, worship, and his encounter with God while in a police cell. Debra shares about her work through Redeeming Our Communities and the story behind her book 'Way Maker;, co-written with her son Josh.
This week, J.John is joined by Gary Wilkerson, who reflects on a remarkable family heritage of Christian ministry, from a chaplain in the American Civil War to generations of revivalists and church leaders. As the son of David Wilkerson, Gary shares the story behind his father’s ministry, including his work with young people in New York, the well-known account of Nicky Cruz, and the founding of World Challenge, which Gary now leads as President. In this conversation, he offers insight into the ongoing work of World Challenge in supporting and resourcing the global Church, and reflects on themes from his book The Jaw-Dropping Beauty of Jesus, based on the book of Hebrews, exploring a deeper understanding of Christ and its relevance for faith today.
This week, J.John is joined by Sir Peter Vardy, who shares his journey from leaving school with just one O Level in Music to building a major car dealership business employing over 6,000 staff and selling around 200,000 cars each year. Although he grew up in a Christian home, it was after leaving school that his faith became personal and began to shape the way he approached both life and work. In this conversation, he reflects on running a business with clear Christian values, and how, through The Vardy Foundation, he has supported the building of schools in England, helped launch Safe Families for Children, and contributed to the work of organisations such as Mercy Ships.
This week, J.John is joined by Stuart Bell, whose ministry spans more than 50 years, beginning as the son of a Methodist local preacher and playing in a Christian band, The Advocates. What started with discipling young people grew into Alive Church, now across six locations, and the Ground Level Network, connecting around 80 churches with a vision to reach communities “from the Humber to the Wash.” In this conversation, Stuart reflects on what it means to “reinvent church” today, while also sharing from personal experience, including his book Mud in the Eye and the challenges of leading through difficult seasons and questions around healing.
J.John sits down with Peter Anderson, Lead Pastor of City on a Hill Church in Edinburgh, to explore the journey of building a church from humble beginnings to a thriving, multi-community movement. Starting with just 30 members after four years, Peter shares how City on a Hill has since grown to reach hundreds across seven communities. In this honest and inspiring conversation, he reflects on the tension of holding onto a big vision while facing the challenges of a small reality. Peter also opens up about the powerful culture of prayer among church leaders in Edinburgh and what it looks like to witness signs of a spiritual awakening across Scotland today. If you’ve ever wrestled with slow progress, big dreams, or staying faithful in the early stages, this conversation will encourage and challenge you.

Before meeting Jesus, Daniel believed that he was “on fire for the devil,” living a life far from God. But everything changed when he faced a possible prison sentence. In that pivotal moment, he surrendered his life to Jesus and experienced the overwhelming freedom of having sin, shame, and condemnation lifted from his shoulders. This week, J.John sits down with Daniel Chand, an inspiring evangelist whose powerful story of redemption is now impacting lives around the world. From darkness to purpose, Daniel is witnessing incredible signs and wonders through his ministry. You won’t want to miss this honest and hope-filled conversation.

This week, J.John is joined by Lucy Rycroft, an inspiring mother passionate about equipping families to grow in faith in the middle of everyday life. Many of us feel like we’re constantly trying to keep up; forgetting things, running late, and wondering if we’re doing enough as parents. For Christians, the pressure can feel even greater: are we sharing Jesus with our children in the right way? Lucy's ministry. 'The Hope-Filled Family' is about meeting parents where they are - in the messy, noisy, imperfect reality of family life - and discovering that faith can grow even there.

Finally, we have arrived at the beginning, at the heart of the commandments: the great rule that we are to have no other gods but the one true and living God. As the sun lies at the centre of the solar system and has planets orbiting around it, so all the other commandments revolve around the first commandment. How do we really put God first in our lives?
In this penultimate session, J.John looks at the second commandment on the topic of idolatry. Idolatry occurs when we hold any value, idea or activity higher than God. So, what are the dangers of idolatry? And, importantly, how do we know the real God?

That word Lent reminded me with gratitude of things that I have been loaned over the years: cars, holiday homes, books. In fact, I inherited a number of books from my father-in-law, Michael Rees, when he was promoted to glory, which all bear inside the cover that very word Lent.
If you are lent something you have it and can use it, but it doesn’t really belong to you, and eventually you, as borrower, must return what you have borrowed to the lender. And because you don’t own what you have been lent, you are responsible – and ultimately accountable – for how you use it. As I pondered this, the thought struck me that the concept of ‘being lent’ applies to our lives in at least three ways.
