Fire Starters For Jesus

From the chaos of loss and breakdowns to unexpected healing and the slow, sacred wrestle with faith—this is the story of a girl who didn’t run from her questions, but walked straight up to them.

Jess opens up about anxiety, identity, burnout, and the pain of losing her dad at 15. Her search for truth led her from Buddhism to Bible studies, meditation retreats to messy church experiences. This isn’t a testimony wrapped in a bow—it’s the ongoing story of someone who dared to ask: What if there’s more?

✨ Topics we explore:

• Grief, trauma & mental health
• Finding community after isolation
• Religion vs. relationship with God
• Why asking hard questions matters
• The unexpected power of friendship & prayer

You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll relate.

And maybe—just maybe—you’ll walk away a little more curious.

Nikki Sinclair joins her daughter and Luke on this pod, sharing her background and knowledge in the financial field. Having taught Crown Finances (a church financial ministry) with her late accountant husband (Myles) for years, Nikki's shares how her career took a change towards something she used to hate; finances.  With simple learned habits and understanding meant despite Myles not having income for 3 years and then unexpectedly passing, Nikki was still able to support her family through education, housing and food without fear of finances. 

Nikki shares how her heart grew towards helping friends not be trapped by their finances; Selling her business to educate basic principles to use God's money well and achieve financial freedom. While Kirsty and Luke have both learned much from Nikki, they are all still learning one of the bibles most commonly spoken topics; money and giving... and how to strive to keep doing it better.
