Have western Christians become so comfortable that we no longer exercise faith? How can we renew a radical trust in God's provision and protection without abandoning our wisdom and responsibility?
In this special episode, Aaron and Andy are joined by the well-known missionary and podcaster (and long-time Pod of the Gaps fan!) Simon Guillebaud, who spent many years working in the warzone of Burundi with his wife and young family. Simon recounts the experiences and inspirations that shaped him, and reflects on the challenges and wisdom he has learned along the way in seeking to maintain a truly radical faith in our walk with God.

Episode 94 - Evangelism: Building Bridges or Breaking Barriers?
When it comes to evangelism, a surprising number of Christians find themselves fearful, lethargic, confused, and out of their depth. We can find it hard to make clear connections to the Gospel, or to see the light of Christian truth in relation to the everyday interests of strangers and neighbours alike.
Is this due primarily to a lack of conversational wisdom or a lack of spiritual boldness? Andy and Aaron both spoke on the different sides of this "coin" at the 2025 Cedarwood Festival. They reflect here that what may appear to be opposing perspectives can actually be complementary, challenging us to overcome cowardice whilst making the best use of our witness, ever mindful of what God can do even in the midst of our most feeble efforts.
