Clayton had a chat with Jana Harmon who has spoken to many former atheists. In a culture of growing scepticism towards Christianity, we often wonder, ‘What would it take for a sceptic to become a Christian? ' and Jana, through her many conversations, discusses the journey of many from atheism to faith.

Lynda Wake joined Clayton in the studio and shared the inspiration behind her book 'Waiting Well with Jesus', which includes insights from her own grief journey to help readers through their own time of sorrow. Lynda shared deeply how 'Waiting Well With Jesus' is the devotional journal resource she wished she had in her deepest grief following the passing of her daughter, Bethany, just before her 16th birthday after a yearlong battle with brain cancer. When Lynda realised that she may need to wait for decades before being reunited with her daughter, the grief nearly paralysed her.

For more information about Lynda and her daughter Bethany's legacy visit: be-blessings.com. To purchase Lynda's new 52-week devotional journal Waiting Well With Jesus - strength for the journey through heartbreak to hope, please visit your local Christian bookstore. Both the hard copy and the Kindle version are available through Amazon. A portion of all profits will be donated to Bethany's legacy with CBM Australia.
