Wise words
Thank you for so many incredible stories! The last interview I listened to was David Marfleet and his wise words - the busier life gets the more time we need to spend in Gods words - when it’s more likely to spend less we need to be intentional about making time for God.

Stirred in faith
Every time I listen to one of these podcasts I am stirred in faith. To be more expectant in prayer. To trust God far more. Over riding all the stories is how incredibly God uses all sorts of people as they surrender their lives to Him. I love to share these podcasts with others. They are so inspirational. Thank you

Lives up to it’s name!
I’ve listened to several of these now and each one has been so inspiring, so uplifting and also honest. Often they bring a tear to the eye as well! Amazing accounts of how God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Thank you Simon!

Exactly what it says; inspired!
The stories have each been so uplifting and inspiring in their unique way. Our whole family has been captivated as we have listened while driving to and from school, we have been inspired, challenged, deeply convicted, grieved, amazed and encouraged to persevere in our faith and our calling.

Fabulous podcast
I have never written a review but I have to for this one. Recommended by a friend and boy am I glad! Everyone has encouraged me, lifted me up and inspired me! Simon, you have such an interesting life and perspective and great guests! God speaks through each one in a powerful way. Thank you for this podcast and May God bless you all.

Struggles with sexuality
Fabulous Sam humbly expressing what being gay has been like to date. A horrible journey but he stood firm with God. It’s our own ignorance which makes those of us who don’t understand what it’s like to walk in someone else’s shoes. To listen and make every attempt to understand is, surely, part of what being Christian, is about? Just as it is not our place to judge those who are not the “same” as us.

Inspiring, Challenging and Grounding
I love the challenges these podcasts throw out. One of the few to engage my teenager, we regularly debate the topics raised.
Make this podcast a habit- in the car, when you’re walking or even doing the dishes. You’ll be glad you did.

A high point of the day
In the current age it is so important to have a discipline to dwell on the good, the positive and the hope of kingdom living and not just fill our minds with only the material state of the our culture and planet - important as they are. This podcast has been a real encouragement to me as I expect it will be to all who listen.

Always inspiring
Simon is always inspiring when hearing him speak live. Now I have the pleasure of hearing him and other people of faith share their inspiring stories through this podcast. Loved hearing from Amy Woodfield, Nicola Neale, Andy Hawthorne, Carl Beech and many others. Keep up the great work!!

Inspiring and motivating
After seeing Simon speak for numerous years at several events it is such a treat to come across these interviews. Always a fantastic listen and really motivates me to stretch my faith too. Well done and thanks so much for sharing these with us.

Encouraging
I really enjoyed Simon’s conversation with Amy Woodfield from the Antioch Network - inspiring stories of urban mission and faithfulness through adversity.
2022-08-07
Such a great listen!
This podcast does exactly what it says in the title - leaves the listener totally inspired afterwards. The stories are so interesting and encouraging in this difficult, chaotic world and it has been so great to keep hearing testimonies of God at work each week. Thank you to Simon and the team for making sure good news breaks through!

Interview with Greg Downes
Great interview with Greg. Worth a listen!
2022-07-29
Encouraging stories of everyday saints
Simon allows guests to freely tell their story, the story that God has written through their lives so far. A great encouragement to me to lift my eyes from the daily grind to the God for whom all is possible!

Inspired
Such an incredible story of coming to faith..Duncan’s story should be told everywhere..homeless shelters, hospitals, schools, shops! etc. Such a powerful listen!
2022-07-15
So helpful!
Thank you so much for your podcasts. Such a range of voices and stories. I was especially inspired by your recent interview with Dunc Dyason!

Stories to spur you on
Never fail to be inspired by the awe-inspiring stories of God at work in the world. Spurs me on to become someone God will use in a similar way.

A real faith booster
These podcasts have been waking me up spiritually, encouraging me to pray more and have really boosted my faith. Great to redeem insomnia, or time doing mundane tasks. Highly recommended.

These interviews are a must listen; there are so many encouraging stories!

Podcasts that really do inspire!
Nicolas interview has encouraged and raised my faith today. Simon brings out not just the interviewees current story but what’s led them to where they are today. Really feel like you get to to ‘know’ the person. Brilliant

These podcasts are invaluble!
These inspirational stories are so important for such a time as this.
Nicola Neal’s story for me is an example of what happens when we listen trust and follow Jesus’ leading. Hers is a beautiful story which is both extraordinary yet in its simplicity demonstrates that each of us in our God given “territory” can see transformation and he transformed as we love listen to and learn from those around us.
As such these stories are invitational to us all to understand we are all empowered to be catalysts of change, maybe not in Africa but wherever and to whom ever we are sent. All the amazing people of God I know basically have one thing in common - they laid down their lives and trusted Jesus. My prayer is that we would all realise that “Gold” inside and say “yes”

‘Through Jewish Eyes’ with Richard Harvey
The best place to be when these two giants are in convo is in the same room. Failing that, listening on demand with a favourite brew, whilst on commute - or (my personal preference) whilst doing the washing up, is the next best thing. Inspirational and challenging in equal measure and well worth a listen! P.S. - other episodes also worth checking out too!

A highlight of my week
I look forward to these podcast interviews so much. They lift my heart and my faith. They keep me company during mundane tasks like dishes or laundry folding. Sometimes I’m smiling from ear to ear, other times tears are shed. Each person’s passion for the Gospel or their sincerity and honesty about their hardships touches me greatly. Simon is a great interviewer and asks the kinds of questions his listeners would ask. He doesn’t interrupt and allows each guest the freedom to flow with their answers and reflections.
2022-06-21
Inspiring for sure!
Exhausted and 'hungry' (for Him) after being ill, needed something to feed my spirit - this gave me the lift I needed to get up and go after His heart again. Amazing stories. Amazing men and women of God.
Awesome God!

So Encouraging!
I’ve been listening to these podcasts for quite a few months now. I find them so inspiring and encouraging, amazing to hear stories of God doing amazing thing here and around the world. Friends have been so encouraged by the podcasts when I’ve shared them with them. Thank you Simon and team for all your hard work and dedication to make this happen. God bless you all. Cheers Ed

What a wonderful podcast! Such a blessing, so many moments where God has encouraged and inspired me as I’ve listened.

Everyone should listen to this…
Thank you to both of you - Simon

Inspiring & encouraging
I’ve just listened to the podcast where Simon interviews Jeremy Marshall.It was great to listen to Jeremy’s honest account of life with cancer and, wonderfully, the opportunities it has given him to share the gospel. I will definitely listen to other of Simon’s podcasts in this series and recommend them to others who want to be uplifted and inspired.

As it says in the title!
Love it!

Game changer
If you want a panoramic view of how God is changing lives across the planet and drawing people into wild commitment to Christ then this is the podcast for you. It is fiercely passionate but totally grounded and never avoids the messiness of life. Jaw dropping, spine tingling and occassionally heart wrenching., A tremendous resource.
2022-01-08
A ‘must listen’ podcast.
Simon is a hero of the faith but these podcasts are not about him, they are about hearing from influential voices of leaders, those who carry influence and who have walked the journey of faith with the battle scars to prove it. Simon has the gift of being able to pull out those gold nuggets that inspire and challenge.
2022-01-08
Need uplifted and inspired? This podcast is perfect!
This podcast has really lifted my spirits over the last few weeks. I caught Simon on J. John’s programme and was so engrossed I knew this podcast would be for me. On the drive to and from work in the cold and dark, every speaker Simon has interviewed has been an inspiration. It’s great to lift my eyes from what is directly around me and hear of the many God inspired individuals who are out in the big bad world making a difference to our eternity. Thank you Simon, God bless you.

BE LIKE ESTHER! -Betsy De Thierry’s story
A podcast episode that needed to be shared! A great testimony on how humans are incredibly complex and how we do not need to be ashamed of how far we’ve come or where we are with Jesus. So beautiful to know that with Jesus somethings are ‘normal’. “Inspired” is a great podcast, looking forward to hearing more stories as we walk our journey home. 💛

Loved listening to this pod cast today. I walked around the fields with my dog, laughing, crying and becoming inspired.

Was originally introduced to Simon through New Wine and hearing him speak there. Then recently stumbled to his content as he had Jesus at the Door on. Great interviews

Inspired and challenged
Living in Burundi it’s so good to have these podcasts to listen to as I drive up and down the mountain to the city each week. I’m always inspired and yet at the same time really challenged to be more obedient and more faithful to the call of God on my/our lives! Thanks Simon and keep them coming!!

Listening to these people speak so openly about their experiences and journey of faith is encouraging and motivating. Their honesty and vulnerability shows how God can use anyone and makes a really relatable podcast which is truly inspirational
