After a long break since Christmas, This Week At Windsor is back, and this time Jonathan and Ardin finally turn the tables.

In Episode 1, they sit down with Katie Macgregor, the producer behind the podcast. Katie shares her journey to faith, how her family came to WDBC, and what life looks like in this season of motherhood. The conversation dives into the pressures mums face today, the unseen mental load that so often comes with raising young children, and the joy and challenge of doing it all in a world that constantly has something to say.


They also chat about the newly restarted playgroup, Playtime, and why there’s so much excitement about seeing it back up and running.

It’s honest, thoughtful and a fitting way to kick off a new season.

She shares how she ended up at WDBC through a pretty unique connection with Jonathan, and how her background has shaped her heart for ministry.

Jermea talks about what church looks like on the mission field in India - very different to Australia, but deeply rooted in sharing Jesus through everyday life and relationships. She reflects on her close bond with her sisters, the deep respect held for older generations in Indian culture, and the impact the gospel is having on the younger generation and how they are responding to the Good News.

Growing up as a pastor’s kid, Dave left home and walked away from God at 17, chasing happiness through success, music, and life on his own terms - looking up to his idols in music.

But God had other plans. Dave shares his powerful journey of coming home - to his parents, church, and eventually his faith. Now a man deeply rooted in prayer, Dave talks about the importance of prayer and the belonging that comes from being part of a church community.

Tune in to discover Jonathan's childhood connection to Dave and how Korn band member Brian Welch helped Dave on his journey back to God.

As a fellow American, Jeff and Jonathan go back twenty years attending the same University, then seminary together. Jeff is a lover of language which drew him to study the New Testament in the original Greek.

Jeff, Jonathan and Ardin dive into a world of higher education and how it differs in Australia compared to the Untied States. Along the way they also explore how the Bible is translated from its original text to English. They will talk about understanding a living, breathing text written in a period time far removed from our own.
