Andrew Sach was an atheist who dismissed Christianity until someone challenged him to investigate the resurrection as a historical question. That single shift changed everything. Not just his beliefs, but the way he saw the Bible, the world, and what it means to actually understand Scripture rather than just read it. In this episode of 10ofThose, Laurie and Jonathan sit down with Andrew (neuroscientist, pastor, preaching trainer, and co-author of Dig Deeper) to talk about how ordinary Christi...

In this episode of 10ofThose, Laurie and Jonathan talk with Betsy (TGC editor and author of the beloved Arlo children's series among other titles) about how to raise kids on books that actually do something. They talk ab...

What happens to the money when you buy a book from 10ofThose? Jonathan has always believed that surplus shouldn't sit still, and that generosity is a gospel disposition, not a financial strategy. It's a conviction shaped by a lifetime of watching his parents live entirely by faith, and it's the driving idea behind 10Giving, the charity that sits alongside 10ofThose to put gospel resources into the hands of people who couldn't otherwise afford them. In this episode of 10ofThose, Jonathan and ...

Felicity Carswell came to faith through a friend who showed up with chocolate and a copy of Mark's gospel. Twenty years later, she's convinced that one of the most powerful tools for discipleship and evangelism available to ordinary Christians is also one of the simplest: sitting down with someone, opening the Bible, and talking about it together. In this episode, Jonathan and Laurie talk with Felicity (co-host of the Two Sisters & a Cup of Tea podcast) about one-to-one Bible reading, wh...

And his conversations about faith in that final three-month notice period outweighed the previous ten years combined. In this episode of 10ofThose, Jonathan and Laurie sit down with Graham to talk about what evangelism actually looks like for ordinary Christians. They explore why Easter is every Sun...

Immigration is one of the most heated and polarizing issues in public life. But for Christians, it cannot remain an abstract political debate; behind every news story are real people all made in the image of God. In this episode, Jonathan and Laurie are joined by Jen Oshman to think carefully and compassionately about immigration, the global church, and the way Christians should respond in a divided culture. Jen reflects on what she saw at the US-Mexico border, why it matters to humanize ever...

Why is it that we actually go to church? Not just because we always have. Not just because it’s Sunday. But if everything were stripped back, what would we say remains essential? In this episode, Jonathan and Laurie reflect on the purpose of church life. They talk about corporate worship, preaching, pastoral care, the struggle of inconsistent attendance, the excuses of travel and busyness, and the tension between feelings and faithfulness. They also explore how church shapes us over time, oft...

In this episode, Laurie sits down with Jonathan to talk through the decision to leave the UK and begin 10ofThose in the United States. They reflect on the fears, missteps, encouragements, and unexpected provisions that marked those early years, as well as the ongoing challenge of trusting God without knowing outcomes. Along the way, they explore what faithful risk looks like, how to weigh responsibility without paralysis, and why obedience to God's will often comes before clarity. If you enj...

We live in a world addicted to instant gratification. We all want instant change, instant productivity, and instant transformation. But Christian growth rarely works that way. It’s slower, quieter, and far more ordinary, and found in establishing God-honouring habits through acts of faithfulness in everyday life. Jonathan and Laurie reflect on the difference between dramatic decisions and quiet consistency, sharing stories from conferences, ministry life, reading, housework, Bible memory, and...
