In this episode, Ashley Jankiewicz, assistant editor for Adventist Record, joins us to tell the story of a man who gave up his crown, his clothes and his birthright for a friend. We explore what made Jonathan and David's friendship so extraordinary, why deep friendships are so rare today, and what it might look like to bring a covenant mindset to the people we love.

He was chosen by God, anointed as king and was head and shoulders above everyone around him. But his story did not end well.

In this episode, therapist and former pastor Blake Penland joins us to unpack the life of Saul and what his slow unravelling reveals about leadership, accountability and the stories we tell ourselves. We talk about the difference between guilt and shame and why it matters, what it looks like to be intentional with God rather than just passive, and why God's patience with Saul outlasted Saul's patience with himself. Blake also opens up about the mental health tools he's found most useful, including music and creativity.

In this episode, Joëlle Weekes joins us to explore the story of Samuel—a boy who heard God's voice in the silence of the night, at a time when the word of the Lord was rare. We talk about why silence can feel so uncomfortable, what it means to be busy for God without actually being with God, and how to stay connected to Him in the middle of a full and noisy life. Joëlle also reflects on her own seasons of waiting and silence and the question that shifted everything for her: what if it's not God who's silent, but me?

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 the Bible, his life is summed up in just a few verses—no miracles, no dramatic speeches, no great leadership moments. And yet, Enoch was one of the few people taken to heaven without experiencing death. So why did God choose him?

In this episode, we talk to Daniel Kuberek about the mysterious figure of Enoch and what his life reveals about faith, salvation and the heart of God.

In this episode, Caitlin Jankiewicz joins us to explore the deeply human struggle at the heart of Eve’s choice: trust. 

Together, we unpack the tension many Christians experience between wanting to trust God and wrestling with suffering, unanswered prayers and anxiety about the future. From the aftermath of the pandemic to the universal fear that God may not come through in the ways we hope He will, this conversation explores what it means to have imperfect faith in a faithful God.

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.
