Julie shares with us about her life that went from a place of rebellion and hardship, through a really tough time of studying as a single mum, to the place she is now where she can say, ‘God is so good to me.’ She talks of God’s provision and mercy and how she now uses that witness in her job as a psychologist.

Romola is not someone who puts herself forward. In fact, I think she’s happiest serving quietly in the background. I think I must have been very pathetic when I asked because she relented and agreed to come on my podcast. And I’m so glad she did. Her stories of what God is doing through her quiet witness working as a midwife are powerful.

We talk about the joy when things go well, and the sorry when things go badly in childbirth, and how God has given her several divine appointments where she was truly able to speak into peoples’ lives.

And we talk about a special time in her life when she knew that God was very close to her.

I’m sure you’ll be blessed by listening.

Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

John Zeckendorf shot to fame by being the first Tasmanian to climb Mt Everest. He has talked in many venues about his experiences, but I wanted to learn more about the rest of his life.

John tells us how breaking up your relationship with a non-Christian may just be the way to bring them to Christ.

We talk about witnessing to Jewish people, witnessing in the workplace, and praying those special conversations in to being. And we also talk about the many ways that mountain climbing is a metaphor for life.

Romans 7:19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.

Jenny tells us about losing her mother to breast cancer at 16 and how that affected her own journey into motherhood. From her own experiences Jenny has a heart for mothers, especially those who are feeling lost or lonely and who don’t have people to turn to. To meet this need she has started a blog and podcast that can be found at www.treasuringmothers.com.

We talk about the journey to the development of the podcast, and the long apprenticeship that God took her on, building her skills so that she is now able to reach out in this way.

We also talk about women standing alongside men, working with them to build the kingdom. Jenny encourages us not to hold back, but to use the skills that we have to do what God is calling us to do.

Today’s podcast is just me, answering the questions that I set for others. I thought it was time that I shared a bit about myself, and also that I challenged myself with the questions.

I talk about my long journey of always knowing God, but also committing myself to him at different levels.

I also talk about the various jobs I’ve had through my life, and my trials in finding a career choice that was congruent with my personality. I share about how I bring my faith into what I do now, as an author of novels as well as an author of more solid Christian books.

This is not the whole story. There are so many things that God has done in my life that I don’t share about here. But it’s a little about myself in the short time available.

Ephesians 6:18 ‘And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.’

Libby is now retired from her work as a palliative care nurse. She shares about the joys and hardships of working in the palliative sector. She also shares about her love of art, painting and colouring in, and about how art was a way to healing for her.

When Libby found out about the healing nature of art and of colour she wanted to use that knowledge to help others and she shares about her experiences with that too.

Libby is a gorgeous, gentle and down-to-earth woman with lots of wisdom from a lifetime of caring for others.
