Show notes

Join Izzy and Zach as they continue their deep dive into 1 Thessalonians, unpacking chapter 4 and exploring what it means to live in holiness, honour God with your body, and hold onto hope in the face of death and the return of Christ. This episode tackles some of the most challenging and countercultural teachings in Scripture, from sexual morality in a culture that looks nothing like God's design, to the radical hope we have when loved ones die, and the promise of Jesus' second coming.

The episode also dives into Paul's teaching on work, humility, and minding your own business, before unpacking the hope we have in Christ's return. Discover what the Bible says about believers who have died, what the rapture actually means, and why the second coming of Jesus is the climax of the entire story of Scripture. This is for anyone wrestling with what it looks like to live countercultural lives, struggling with sexual purity, grieving the loss of a loved one, or simply wanting to understand what Christians believe about the end times.

FROM ATHEIST TO BELIEVER | LUKE THORNTON'S TESTIMONY Mar 19, 2026

Show notes

Join Izzy and Zach for an incredibly powerful conversation with Luke Thornton as he shares his radical journey from being a passionate atheist who debated Christians to encountering the truth of Jesus and discovering that faith is not opposed to reason but deeply grounded in it. This episode unpacks what it truly means to search for truth with intellectual honesty, the moment everything changed when watching a debate that challenged his atheism, and the transformative power of community and Alpha in bringing head knowledge to heart transformation.

Luke opens up about growing up in a completely secular household in Yorkshire, his frustration with Christians who claimed to believe but lived no differently, and the philosophical crisis he faced when realising that atheism left him with no free will, no objective morality, and ultimately no purpose. Discover how a two-hour debate between Sam Harris and William Lane Craig cracked open his worldview, how a Christian in a co-working space invited him to Alpha, and why he stopped swearing overnight the moment he said yes to Jesus.

Zach and Izzy explore what it looks like to have joy in the midst of suffering, how faith produces work, love produces labor, and hope produces endurance, and why the early believers turned radically from idols to serve the living God.
