In Part 2 of Beyond Sundays, we move beyond event-based faith and explore what it means to embody the presence of God in real life. This conversation challenges the idea of waiting for a spiritual high and invites you to recognise that God is already present, already dwelling in you, and calling you to live from that reality.

This episode reflects on:

How to move from striving to spiritual rest

Why God is not only found in church gatherings

The shift from performance to partnership

What it means to live as the dwelling place of God

Understanding heaven as a present reality, not a distant reward

If you are ready to explore a faith that is honest, embodied, and rooted in everyday life, this is for you.

What if faith was never meant to be about Sundays, hype, or polished perfection?

In Part 1 of Beyond Sundays, we unpack how modern Christianity has drifted into crowd-driven, emotionally charged, and appearance-focused expressions of faith - leaving many spiritually drained by Monday.

Illy lays a thoughtful foundation for how we may have ended up centering everything on a “special day of service,” while we reflect on:

Why Sunday faith isn’t enough

The trap of performance-based Christianity

How God actually sees your everyday life

If you’re tired of surface-level spirituality, this might be your invitation to rediscover real, grounded faith.

Is heaven a place we're waiting to go, or a reality we’re called to live right now? Is Jesus Isn’t Building You a Mansion in Heaven?

In this second part of our Crowns conversation, we go even deeper: questioning the rewards-based gospel we inherited, unpacking what Jesus actually meant about mansions, crowns, and eternity and reframing it all through the lens of union with God.

We explore:

Why Jesus came to live through us, not to be performed for

The myth of “earning” heaven and the shift toward spiritual rest

How eternal life begins now

The real meaning of “crowns,” glory, and living in fullness today

If you've ever wondered whether you're striving for a reward God already placed in you, i hope this episode will open your eyes and steady your soul.

We’ve all heard about heavenly crowns, thrones, and eternal rewards…

But what if the way we’ve been taught to see them has more to do with performance and pride than Jesus and grace?

This discussion centers around the concept of reward, emphasising that God's reward is uniform, despite individual efforts, as highlighted in the bible. The conversation references abraham in bible and moses, noting the absence of explicit discussions about heaven in their dialogues with God.

Why don't you join us as we unpack some of the biggest misconceptions many of us carry about heavenly rewards. From the fear of not being “rewarded enough” to striving for crowns that were never ours to earn - we ask, what did Jesus actually mean?

In Part 1, we explore:

Where our reward-based thinking really comes from

What Scripture says and doesn’t say about crowns

How Jesus redefined greatness through surrender

Why we’ve confused love with achievement in our faith.

Share your thoughts: What were you taught about rewards? Has that changed over time?

Share with someone who’s been striving instead of living

In this heartfelt conversation, we reflect and unpack what getting through uncertain times really looks like naming those unheard worries, quiet anxieties, and the fear whispers that sometimes speak louder than faith. This episode is about giving ourselves permission to feel seen, to wrestle with questions, and to keep walking with courage knowing we're not alone, and that the Father is still present in the chaos. We unpacked:

• The myth that faith means fearlessness
• Why your messy middle still matters to God
• Learning to live now not just waiting for the miracle
• What trusting God actually looks like in hard times

We hope this one really encourages your heart if you are going through it. Tell us what resonated. Share your story. Let’s journey together.

In this episode, we’re talking about religious burnout and the hidden weight of guilt that often comes with it. Whether it’s the pressure to perform, the fear of falling short, or the exhaustion of trying to keep God close we’re going there.

We unpack:

The reality of burnout in performance based service.

How guilt quietly drives many people’s faith journey

The difference between performing for God and resting in Him

What it looks like to stop striving and start receiving

This conversation is for anyone who’s ever felt like faith became a weight instead of a well.

We hope it gives you permission to pause, reflect, and know that grace was always the point.

Ever felt like your identity has been shaped by pain, labels, or the worst parts of your story?

In this episode, we explore how God doesn’t just fix brokenness, He renames us.

From Jacob to Israel, from Simon to Peter, we reflect on how God speaks to who we truly are, not who we’ve been.

We trace the shift from a people defined by struggle to a rest Christ invites us into and from instability to the revelation that becomes our foundation.

Reflect with us:

– What names have we been answering to that God never gave us?

– Are we still stuck in identities that don’t fit our future?

– What does grace really do when it meets our wounds?

Faith of Our Fathers: Isn't Faith Meant To Be Personal?”

We often hear people pray to the “God of Abraham” or “God of our fathers”…

What does faith look like when it's inherited, or secondhand?

In this episode, we talk honestly about borrowed faith, generational labels, and the gap between knowing about God and actually knowing Him as ours. From traditions that taught us distance to language that reflects separation, we explore what it means to move from observation to ownership.

This is an invitation not to discard legacy, but to step into relationship.
