Have you ever waited for what seems like forever for something to change? A new job, a career shift, a move to a new country—big transitions that can feel even heavier and discouraging when more doors seem to close than open.

In this episode, we hear from Allen Nansasi, a missionary at heart. When her desire to leave Uganda to further her studies seemed impossible and unclear, Allen continued to obey her call in mission. What seemed like delay became something far more purposeful.

In one year, Allen had supervised the building of three churches in Uganda's largest prison. She shares how she held onto faith through uncertainty, preached through pain, and witnessed doors open in ways she never expected.

When done right, a singles ministry group is a vibrant, holistic community that fosters spiritual growth, personal development, and genuine connection for all singles - divorced, widowed, single parents, or never married.

This episode reveals what it takes to empower singles to thrive in their faith and life. If you’re a church leader or a single Christian seeking community and growth, this episode is for you. It challenges misconceptions, offers practical tips, and reminds us to see singles not as a problem to fix but as an inclusive part of our community. Tune in and learn how you may transform your church’s approach to singles today. 

In this candid conversation with my cousin Lee Daniel, we discuss character, purity, and practical faithfulness as a single Christian man.

Lee shares his experience of temptation, growth, and the importance of good friends and mentors. He explains why singleness is a context for faithfulness.

In this episode, we explore:

• How singleness reveals what marriage cannot fix and why character matters more than circumstances
• The critical role of friendships that sharpen and influence your faith journey
• Being a modern-day Joseph in resisting temptations.
• Common lies about self-worth held by single men and how God's perspective reshapes our identity

In this episode of Faith of Friends, we talk honestly with Kester Small about sadness and depression and why asking for help is not a sign of weakness or a lack of faith.

A real and vulnerable conversation with a friend who’s been there — a reminder for anyone quietly struggling that you’re not alone, and that it's okay to ask for help.

In this episode, Feigel Niles opens up about the start of her faith journey when she left home for university with little more than a dream in her heart, leaning on her faith to carry her through uncertainty.

Whether you’re starting university, a new job, or facing a season of change, this conversation is a reminder that faith isn’t just about belief—it’s about trusting in the unseen when the way forward isn’t clear.

In this episode, I share how I prayed for a testimony for my friend Kimberley Bennett, not knowing what the day had in store. I later learned she was booked on a standby flight, two days delayed and unsure if she’d make it. But I kept believing, praying, and encouraging her to take the next step. What happened next was a powerful reminder of the faith of friends.

In this episode, I sit down with my prayer partner Margaret Smith to reflect on an experience that tested both my nerves and my faith. She encouraged me to travel four hours away to retake my driving test—then sat in the backseat, praying for me the entire time. We speak about the significance of prayer in life's challenges and her ongoing prayer ministry for her nephew battling a brain tumour.
