This week, we go straight in to if Jesus was here today, would he use TikTok? How cultured! Speaking of culture, we chat about where Jesus got involved in culture, where he stayed away from it, and what that might mean for us scrolling, posting, and trying not to get distracted online. Plus, Izzie shares some classic “dummy moments” from her week (including a DIY hair mare… oops 😬), and we think about how social media fits into our faith without getting in the way.

We’ll also give some Bible verses to help you think about whether to stay on social media, take a break, or just use it wisely — because, like Jesus, maybe it’s all about how you use it, not whether you use it at all.

🕰️Jesus on TikTok? 🌍Cultured or not? 📱Social media

Izzie (and Rob’s!) friend, Ezra, chats about exams, stress, and how to keep your faith in the middle of it all. 🎓✨

Ezra shares his journey from GCSEs to university, and how he balances study, church, (don’t forget the gym! 💪) and his personal relationship with God. Also spoken about is trusting God when things feel out of control, carving out time for prayer, and finding encouragement from friends and church communities.

If you’re facing mocks, A-levels, or just the general stress of school life, this episode is packed with honest advice, spiritual encouragement, and some really practical ways to keep your faith alive while revising what seem like non stop.

Don’t forget the usual dummy moments including Izzie forgetting to ask Ezra for his dummy moment! 🙈

📚Exam time. ❌ No more stress. 😇 God is in control.

Ever wondered how to be a leader when you still feel like you’re figuring life out? Izzie and Rob chat all things young leadership — from starting out and serving well, to dealing with nerves, awkward small talk, and that classic “I don’t know enough” panic. 🙈

They’ll unpack how Jesus flipped leadership upside down (spoiler: it involves feet washing 🦶), why being young doesn’t mean you can’t make an impact, and how to lead even when you don’t have it all together.

Whether you’re running a CU, helping at church, or just trying to be a good mate, this one’s for you.

☕ Grab your tea (or coffee if you’re fancy) and tune in.

⏰ Time to chat. 👦 🧒 Young leader. 🫵 Be the example.

Divorce is one of those topics that can feel really heavy or confusing — especially as a Christian. In this episode, Rob (yes, he’s back!) sits down with his Welsh friend, Heulwen, to chat honestly about how divorce impacts families and faith… especially as a teenager.

Heulwen shares part of her story and what she’s learned about forgiveness and healing along the way. Heulwen also shares what Bible verse helped her during it all and how she tries to help the young people she meets whose family are going through similar.

Of course, there are plenty of dummy moments too — Rob’s guitar mishaps, Izzie’s almost getting in the wrong car and Heulwen is falling over 🙄 oh dear! (Also talk of pensions and loud dogs!)

It’s real, honest, and (as always) just us trying to figure it out.

❤️ Real families. ✝️ God still working. ❌ Not taboo.

This week, Rob’s away on parental leave — but don’t panic! Adele, his wonderful wife steps in to join Izzie for a very real chat about what it’s like when your family aren’t Christians. How do you handle that? What does it look like to live out your faith at home? And how do you handle different family priorities? Adele also shares part of her own story of faith and the long awaited dummy moments are back! Turns out dummy moments run in the family.

It’s honest, funny, and full of encouragement — because even when faith feels tricky at home, God’s still right in the middle of it.

📖 Real stories. 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Real families. 👟 Dummy moments.

We’re back… well nearly! Season 3 of Faith for Dummies (aka us) is about to drop, and let’s be real… we’re just as clueless (and curious) as ever. Join Izzie and Rob as we stumble, laugh, and occasionally say something profound while exploring faith, life, and the big questions teenagers actually care about. But first… enjoy a couple of life updates from both Izzie and Rob!

Expect new guests, new stories, and the same unpolished honesty you’ve come to love (or at least tolerate). Whether you’ve been here since day one or you’ve just found us, buckle up—it’s going to be messy, meaningful, and maybe even a little bit wise 🦉.

Season 3 coming soon… don’t miss it.

🗣️ Real talk. 😮 Real tease. 🕰️ Real soon.

It’s the big season 2 finale! Rob and Izzie dive into what worship really means—more than just singing on a Sunday, but a whole lifestyle of following Jesus. Worship is about sacrifice (allowing it to cost us something), and living every day to glorify God… but don’t worry, it’s not all heavy stuff!

Also in the episode, Izzie brings a hilarious lasagne-related dummy moment to the table (literally 😂).

This episode is a celebration of God’s goodness, the joy of worship, and the reminder that Jesus deserves everything.

🙌 Lifestyle worship. 🎶 Real talk. 😂 Dummy moments. ✝️ Jesus at the centre.

In this episode of Faith for Dummies, Rob and Izzie get real about mental health and what it means to follow Jesus when life feels heavy. They dive into the Psalms to see how God’s Word speaks to our struggles, and remind us that even the Bible’s greatest heroes wrestled with emotions too.

Of course, there’s a classic dummy moment along the way to keep it light. 😅

If you’re struggling, please remember: you are valued, you matter, and it’s okay to reach out for help.

🧠 Honest talk. 🙏 Hope from the Psalms. 😂 Dummy moments. ❤️ You are not alone.

In Part 2 of our mini-series on sharing your faith after school, Izzie and Rob turn the spotlight on university life.

Izzie chats with Charlie, who shares what it really looks like to follow Jesus at uni. She gives honest advice on finding a Church, keeping up Bible reading, connecting with people you might not naturally gel with, inviting them to events and conversations about faith. Who knows, they may become good friends of yours- like for Charlie!

Whether you're about to head off to uni, planning to go in the future, or already deep in student life, this episode is full of encouragement, relatable stories, and a reminder that you’re not alone in figuring this stuff out.

No plans to go to uni? Have a listen anyway—it’s still a good’n!

🎓 Honest stories. 💬 Real talk. 🙏 Unashamed faith.

In the first of two episodes, Izzie and Rob explore what it really looks like to share your faith after leaving school—starting with the workplace. (Also super relevant if you’re working weekends… or even still in school, to be honest!)Caitlin is interviewed about being a Christian at work and sharing your faith with colleagues—without being weird about it. Kinda scary. Kinda awkward. Totally important!

From simply mentioning church in casual conversations to living out your faith with boldness and grace, Caitlin shares some super practical (and honest) tips.

Oh—and there’s a dummy moment that turns into a double dummy moment. Yep, Rob gets caught in it too. Doh. 😅

💬 Real convos. 🙏 Real faith. 👔 Real-life workplaces.Part 2 (Sharing Your Faith at Uni) drops next week!

In this episode, Izzie sits down with George to hear his powerful testimony. He shares what it was like moving to the UK at age 5, growing up in East London, and how God met him in a big way during a Holy Spirit talk at camp. George also opens up about the lies the world whispers and how we can combat them with God’s truth.

At the start, Izzie and Rob share some light hearted camp stories (including a couple of small dummy moments 😅) to keep it real.

This episode is packed with honesty, encouragement, and a reminder that God’s truth is always greater than the world’s lies.

🔥 Testimonies. 🙌 God’s presence. 😂 Dummy moments.

In this episode, Rob sits down with his friend Martin to unpack the age-old question: Can Christians have fun? Can you love Jesus and enjoy life? Short answer: YES. But let’s talk about it more... From parties to Jesus’ take on the Sabbath, we explore what fun looks like when you're living for God.

Martin shares a 'typical Martin' dummy moment and one of his favourite moments as a youth leader—a wild, giant escape room—and reminds us that following Jesus isn’t boring… it’s actually so much fun.

🎉 Faith meets fun. 🔍 Real talk. 🙌 Jesus at the centre.

In this episode, Izzie interviews a different Rob (Rob #2!), who tells us all about the different types of churches (denominations) and keeps it real with a story that’s both hilarious and humbling—possibly the best dummy moment we’ve had yet!

We’re talking history, beliefs, and what unites us as followers of Jesus—without getting stuck in judgment or confusion. Whether you’ve only known one tradition or you’re trying to figure out where you fit, this convo is for you.

🕊️ Respectful talk. 🙏 Real faith. 💡 Eye-opening stuff. 😂 Real funny.

In this special episode, Rob is joined by Grace – marine biologist-in-training, Liverpool rain survivor, and all-round legend – to talk about loss. From soggy Tesco trips and forgotten chocolate puddings, to losing the people we love... This episode explores when grief shows up, what can we do to help us handle all the emotions and experiences that come with it.

We talk about what helps and how faith can feel weird (but sometimes wonderful) when life breaks. There are laughs, memories, tea 🫖, and honest reflections on hope in the middle of heartache.

We hope you enjoy today's episode and learn something.

This one is for Grace’s mum, Clare ❤️

In this episode of Faith for Dummies (aka us), Izzie and Rob dive into the world of summer camps — the messy, muddy, magical places where teenage faith can spark (and questionable food can be a spiritual test of its own).

We swap stories from camps of past, confess our bad shower choices, and chat with the brilliant Emily from Danehill about what it’s like at the camp we both serve at. From swimming to water games and camp songs about crumble to late-night worship sessions. Have a listen to us reminiscing and see if we can answer why does it feel like God shows up so much more at camp?

Spoiler alert: He’s with us off the field too — even when we’re not singing around a fire pit!

Also why are Rob’s hands different colours in the artwork…?! Can anyone help fix that?!

Oh, and yes, we are aware... Rob does say the 4 points in the wrong order! 🤦🏻‍♂️

It's unpacked without big words or pressure—just honest, down-to-earth chat that’ll leave you feeling clearer, more confident, and maybe even a bit excited about talking to your mates about Jesus.
