For much of his life, Kevin Liu felt the pressure to be perfect.

In this honest conversation, Kevin shares his journey from growing up around Buddhism to discovering Jesus, navigating university culture, finding life-changing Christian community and eventually confronting struggles with anxiety and perfectionism that followed him into adulthood.

Now a husband, father of three and children's and families worker, Kevin opens up about seeking Christian counselling, learning to ask for help and wanting to become more present for his wife and children.

Emmanuel and Kevin also explore the pressures facing young adults and young parents, the importance of authentic Christian community, and the signs of God at work in the next generation.

Kevin is still in the middle of the journey. But he's learning that following Jesus isn't about achieving perfection.

It's about living not for victory, but from victory.

What if God actually changed your heart?

In this episode, Emmanuel sits down with Jack Knowles to talk about growing up in a Christian home, wrestling with doubt, and discovering the difference between knowing about Jesus and actually living for Him.

Jack opens up about realising he was living a double life and the prayer that changed everything: “God, change my heart.”

We talk about faith, doubt, the Holy Spirit, worship, music, serving God with your gifts, and why sometimes the Holy Spirit doesn’t need an underscore.

Jack also shares a powerful driving insurance analogy that captures what it means to live from Day Three — not trying to earn salvation, but living every day in response to the price Jesus has already paid.

An honest conversation about heart change, gratitude and what it really looks like to live because Jesus is alive.

From growing up in a split family to moving to Liverpool, navigating the intensity of drama school, finding community and learning to embrace quiet and solitude, Liberty speaks honestly about what it looks like to follow Jesus while still figuring life out.

We also explore what it means to live from Day Three — to be different, to pursue Christ and to intentionally live a life that points people towards Him.

An honest, funny and challenging conversation about encountering God, identity, faith and becoming who God has called you to be.
