About this episode

In this episode, Simon Guillebaud discusses maintaining radical faith amidst comfort and challenges faced by western Christians.

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.
