In this episode of the Deeper and Wider Podcast, Debs is joined by Phil Knox, Laura Hancock and Leon Evans as they discuss the “Quiet Revival”. Something IS stirring in our churches: people are open to, exploring and coming back to faith. It’s exciting, but we also have a responsibility to help people as they explore Jesus for themselves. In this episode we discuss where the origins of the Quiet Revival might have begun, who it’s effecting and the things we can do in the everyday to make a difference to people as they seek to find and follow Jesus.

In this episode of the Deeper and Wider Podcast, the tables are flipped as Andy sits down with our host, Debs! She shares what life was like growing up, her personal experiences with grief and the lasting effects of PTSD. She shares the powerful encounters with God she has experienced over the last 2 years —the words she feels God has shared with her, the ‘still small voice’ that encouraged her in the darkest of times and circumstances, and people that came together that have ultimately led to her healing. It’s a story that is testament to what God can do when we surrender it all to Him and the fresh perspective He brings.

Generosity is something we love when we see it and we want to be those kind of people but at times we don’t know how. In this episode we explore HOW do we give?
