House of Prayer | Johannes Hartl
Theologian and philosopher Johannes Hartl had the conviction that having 24/7 prayer was at least as important as the fire service or police being active 24/7; and so began a movement through the Augsburg House of Prayer that has seen constant uninterrupted prayer since 2011. Out of that has come the ‘Mehr’ (More) conference, which has exploded to 11,000 participants this last January, full of young Christians of all stripes hungry to encounter God. What a story! His rich spirituality is a fusion of charismatic Catholic theology and philosophy. His lessons on contemplative prayer - coming out of his own lived experience of praying four hours each day - are deeply instructive and inspiring. It’s a wonderful conversation, and challenging to those of us with tidy theological boxes. ▶️ Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/zTkx-yEcpdsConnect with Johannes’ books and talks through his website: https://johanneshartl.org/enSubscribe to his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Dr.JohannesHartl_EN---📚 Help us send children back to school in Burundi❤️ Support our work in Burundi: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspired💡 Stunning 2-min short film 'Searching for my Father's Killer'---▶️ Subscribe to us on YouTube📸 Follow us on Instagram: @inspiredwith.sg📲 Weekly episode WhatsApp link: greatlakesoutreach.org/whatsapp📧 Weekly email notification: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspiredemail🇧🇮 GLO Burundi WhatsApp ChannelFor more from Simon, visit: simonguillebaud.comChoose Life daily or weekly email to stir your faith: chooselife.org.uk---🌍 Produced by Great Lakes Outreach - Transforming Burundi & Beyond: greatlakesoutreach.org

Lost and Found | Robby Keen
Robby Keen lived an outwardly successful life in the fast lane into his 30s. He shares stories of how somehow he stayed alive and out of prison against all odds, until his spiritual search took him to the UK headquarters of the spiritualist movement; it was there he attended a seance which got so out of control that he fled the premises and found Jesus through his local church and an Alpha course!For the last 22 years, he has called Uganda home. As co-founder of JENGA, he's seen 1000s of lives transformed through community development, local leadership and the hope of the gospel. He’s faced extreme opposition and huge challenges, but continues undeterred alongside his wonderful team.

Messy Discipleship | Sharon Dickens
Sharon shares candidly about growing up in a scheme (Scottish term for council estate), making bad choices in her teens, working with the homeless and vulnerable, discipling very broken people, living with chronic fatigue, forgiving marital infidelity, and more. She has packed a huge amount into her life so far, and her passion remains to equip and disciple women, which only happens through costly, long-term, incarnational and intentional journeying with them. Her life is both a testimony and a challenge to be all in for Jesus.▶️ Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/VSb9WirMuw4I recommend her two books: Unconventional: Practical Guide to Women’s Ministry in the Local Church and Unexceptional: Ordinary women doing extraordinary things through GodCheck out www.20schemes.com for what she is involved in and to be in touch with her. Sharon's boss, Mez McConnell, was on the podcast a few months back and can be listened to here Part 1 and Part 2.---📚 Help us send children back to school in Burundi❤️ Support our work in Burundi: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspired💡 Stunning 2-min short film 'Searching for my Father's Killer'---▶️ Subscribe to us on YouTube📸 Follow us on Instagram: @inspiredwith.sg📲 Weekly episode WhatsApp link: greatlakesoutreach.org/whatsapp📧 Weekly email notification: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspiredemail🇧🇮 GLO Burundi WhatsApp ChannelFor more from Simon, visit: simonguillebaud.comChoose Life daily or weekly email to stir your faith: chooselife.org.uk---🌍 Produced by Great Lakes Outreach - Transforming Burundi & Beyond: greatlakesoutreach.org

Meaning in the Matrix | Luke Richey
Luke Richey began coding software at age 14, including work for NASA, and went on to build and sell multiple successful startups. He made a lot of money, lost a lot of money, made some wise decisions, and many terrible ones. A selfish narcissist, he reached the point of taking his own life… except he survived. What followed was a series of extraordinary encounters that led to a radical transformation through Jesus Christ.Today, Luke and his wife Jennifer, are on a very different mission. Nearly half of the world’s population (c.3.88 billion people) play video games. For Gen Z and Gen Alpha, gaming isn’t simply entertainment, it’s where they build friendships, develop identity, and spend much of their free time. These digital worlds have become the neighborhoods of the next generation. They are also places where predators, grooming, exploitation, addiction, bullying, and other forms of harm can flourish.Luke and Jennifer are the co-founders of Haiven, a company on a mission to transform these digital spaces into places of safety, belonging, and hope. Through their work at Gravity Jack and Haiven, they are helping shape legislation, influence the future of online safety, and build AI systems that protect children while empowering healthy communities. Their vision is simple: if billions of young people are growing up in digital worlds, Christians cannot afford to ignore them. These digital spaces represent one of the largest mission fields in history, and one of the greatest opportunities to bring light into places that desperately need it.What a story! ▶️ Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/hwz_BnJA9YkContact: luke@haiven.gg Website: https://haiven.ggX: https://x.com/haiven_ggYT: https://www.youtube.com/@Haiven-gg/Insta: https://www.instagram.com/haiven_ggTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@haiven_ggFB: https://www.facebook.com/haiven.incLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/107795877---📚 Help us send children back to school in Burundi❤️ Support our work in Burundi: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspired💡 Stunning 2-min short film 'Searching for my Father's Killer'---▶️ Subscribe to us on YouTube📸 Follow us on Instagram: @inspiredwith.sg📲 Weekly episode WhatsApp link: greatlakesoutreach.org/whatsapp📧 Weekly email notification: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspiredemail🇧🇮 GLO Burundi WhatsApp ChannelFor more from Simon, visit: simonguillebaud.comChoose Life daily or weekly email to stir your faith: chooselife.org.uk---🌍 Produced by Great Lakes Outreach

From Graveyard to Vineyard! | Bishop Abraham
As a despairing teenager, Abraham was about to commit suicide when he heard the audible voice of God. Bihar in Northern India was known as the graveyard of missions - 90 million people fiercely resistant to the gospel. He went in obedience, and after ten years of persecution and rejection had nothing to show for it. Kidnap and murder attempts did not deter him. The second decade saw a trickle, and now several decades later it has become a flood, with numerous schools and churches planted, and thousands of lives saved. The graveyard is now a vineyard. What a story!▶️ Watch this as a video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/D7Vq_xkZEzsContact me podcast[@]greatlakesoutreach.org if you want to be put in touch with him directly, otherwise please check out and support the work through www.hopeindiamission.org.---📚 Help us send children back to school in Burundi❤️ Support our work in Burundi: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspired💡 Stunning 2-min short film 'Searching for my Father's Killer'---▶️ Subscribe to us on YouTube📸 Follow us on Instagram: @inspiredwith.sg📲 Weekly episode WhatsApp link: greatlakesoutreach.org/whatsapp📧 Weekly email notification: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspiredemail🇧🇮 GLO Burundi WhatsApp ChannelFor more from Simon, visit: simonguillebaud.comChoose Life daily or weekly email to stir your faith: chooselife.org.uk---🌍 Produced by Great Lakes Outreach - Transforming Burundi & Beyond: greatlakesoutreach.org

Fully Alive in Sacred Community | Elizabeth Oldfield
Former BBC journalist and current Sacred podcast host Elizabeth Oldfield asks great questions, which is why she lost her faith… but then found it again. Deconstructing her shallower assumptions led her to a dark place, but out of the depths has emerged a fuller, richer, more nuanced and rigorous faith - which she is passionate to share and live out. I think we’d all enjoy joining her family and extended community at their generous weekly dinners where lots more questions are asked and answered. It’s a fascinating conversation.I highly recommend her book ‘Fully Alive - Tending to the Soul in Turbulent Times’, and check out her ‘Sacred’ podcast.---📚 Help us send children back to school in Burundi❤️ Support our work in Burundi: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspired---▶️ Subscribe to us on YouTube📸 Follow us on Instagram: @inspiredwith.sg📲 Weekly episode WhatsApp link: greatlakesoutreach.org/whatsapp📧 Weekly email notification: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspiredemail🇧🇮 GLO Burundi WhatsApp ChannelFor more from Simon, visit: simonguillebaud.comChoose Life daily or weekly email to stir your faith: chooselife.org.uk---🌍 Produced by Great Lakes Outreach - Transforming Burundi & Beyond: greatlakesoutreach.org

The Passionate Professor | Dr James Tour
James Tour is not your average university professor - not only is he a professor of three different fields (chemistry, materials science, and nanoengineering) at Rice University in Houston, Texas, but he’s also started 17 companies, has many hundreds of patents, and has written over 850 scientific publications. However, those achievements are not what he’s most excited about; rather, it’s sharing his deeply-rooted faith and seeing thousands over the years coming to Jesus, including one of his Nobel Prize-winning colleagues. It’s a stunning interview!▶️ Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/rX2iMmmD8mwJesus and Science Foundation: jesusandscience.org Dr. Tour's website: jmtour.comYouTube | Facebook | Instagram | X.comDr. Tour's weekly email newsletter.He has read the book ‘The Gospel Focus of Charles Spurgeon by Steven J.

Day-to-day Miracles | Sid Williams
Sid Williams has lived 41 very full years. From being raised in Rwanda and experiencing the early days of the 1994 genocide, through choosing to live in deprived areas, discussing the journey of adoption, dealing with anxiety, crazy and creative ways of sharing his faith, etc, this is a wide-ranging discussion. More recently, from 2019 onwards, he has been the co-founder and director of Embassy, a UK-based homeless charity that helps vulnerable and homeless people rebuild their lives. It’s a stunning story, and it’s on the longer side, because we just couldn’t shorten it - pure gold!▶️ Watch this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/kNwxa3-x834Check out www.embassyvillage.co.uk✨ You may also enjoy:Message on Fire! | Andy HawthorneTowards Eden | Sam WardInner-City Nitty Gritty | Dai Hankey---📚 Help us send children back to school in Burundi❤️ Support our work in Burundi: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspired---▶️ Subscribe to us on YouTube📸 Follow us on Instagram: @inspiredwith.sg📲 Weekly episode WhatsApp link: greatlakesoutreach.org/whatsapp📧 Weekly email notification: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspiredemail🇧🇮 GLO Burundi WhatsApp ChannelFor more from Simon, visit: simonguillebaud.comChoose Life daily or weekly email to stir your faith: chooselife.org.uk---🌍 Produced by Great Lakes Outreach - Transforming Burundi & Beyond: greatlakesoutreach.org
