But there's so much more to her story. In this episode, Pastor Broden House joins us to unpack Rahab's journey from shame to salvation, and the unexpected contrast between her story and that of Achan, a man from within God's own camp.

We talk about the labels we place on others (and ourselves), why heart posture matters more than reputation, and how Rahab's story is a picture of grace meeting someone right where they are. Broden also opens up about his own story, living with judgment and labels around his weight and how it's changed the way he extends grace to others.

His life unfolds across three distinct 40-year periods, and while most of us are familiar with his years leading the Israelites through the desert, it's the quieter, messier chapters that came first which made him the man God needed him to be.

In this episode, Olivia Fairfax joins us to walk through each phase of Moses' life and what they reveal about growth and intimacy with God. We talk about finding your identity in God rather than your achievements, why His silence isn't the same as absence, and what the covenant really means for how we relate to Him today.

But Noah’s story is also one of risk, vulnerability and trust. He spent years building a boat for rain that had never fallen, trusting God despite how irrational it must have seemed. And even after the ark was built, Noah and his family waited inside while the people around them mocked what they could not yet see.

In this episode, Tamika Spaulding joins us to explore how we can learn to hear and recognise God’s voice. Together, we unpack what to do when God’s leading clashes with common sense and why faith often requires us to trust God before we see the outcome.

In this opening episode of the Living Covenant series, we set the scene for a journey through the lives of imperfect people navigating a relationship with a faithful God. Joined by Jarrod Stackelroth, editor of the Living Covenant book, we explore what covenant really means and why these ancient stories still speak powerfully today. 


Long before Jesus walked the earth, God was making and keeping covenant promises with His people—binding Himself to them through their mess, failures and faith. This series explores those “unsanitised saints”: the heroes, outsiders and even antagonists whose stories reveal what it looks like to live in relationship with God. As we unpack their lives, we’ll discover that their struggles aren’t so different from ours—and that the same God who was faithful to them is still faithful today.
