  • Ep 15 - Can Christians have fun?
    2025/08/12

    In this episode, Rob sits down with his friend Martin to unpack the age-old question: Can Christians have fun? Can you love Jesus and enjoy life? Short answer: YES. But let’s talk about it more... From parties to Jesus’ take on the Sabbath, we explore what fun looks like when you're living for God.

    Martin shares a 'typical Martin' dummy moment and one of his favourite moments as a youth leader—a wild, giant escape room—and reminds us that following Jesus isn’t boring… it’s actually so much fun.

    🎉 Faith meets fun. 🔍 Real talk. 🙌 Jesus at the centre.

  • Ep 14 - What about different types of Church?
    2025/08/05

    In this episode, Izzie interviews a different Rob (Rob #2!), who tells us all about the different types of churches (denominations) and keeps it real with a story that’s both hilarious and humbling—possibly the best dummy moment we’ve had yet!

    We’re talking history, beliefs, and what unites us as followers of Jesus—without getting stuck in judgment or confusion. Whether you’ve only known one tradition or you’re trying to figure out where you fit, this convo is for you.

    🕊️ Respectful talk. 🙏 Real faith. 💡 Eye-opening stuff. 😂 Real funny.

  • Ep 13 - How do I deal with loss…
    2025/07/29

    In this special episode, Rob is joined by Grace – marine biologist-in-training, Liverpool rain survivor, and all-round legend – to talk about loss. From soggy Tesco trips and forgotten chocolate puddings, to losing the people we love... This episode explores when grief shows up, what can we do to help us handle all the emotions and experiences that come with it.

    We talk about what helps and how faith can feel weird (but sometimes wonderful) when life breaks. There are laughs, memories, tea 🫖, and honest reflections on hope in the middle of heartache.

    We hope you enjoy today's episode and learn something.

    This one is for Grace’s mum, Clare ❤️

  • Ep 12 - What’s so great about summer camp?
    2025/07/22

    In this episode of Faith for Dummies (aka us), Izzie and Rob dive into the world of summer camps — the messy, muddy, magical places where teenage faith can spark (and questionable food can be a spiritual test of its own).


    We swap stories from camps of past, confess our bad shower choices, and chat with the brilliant Emily from Danehill about what it’s like at the camp we both serve at. From swimming to water games and camp songs about crumble to late-night worship sessions. Have a listen to us reminiscing and see if we can answer why does it feel like God shows up so much more at camp?


    Spoiler alert: He’s with us off the field too — even when we’re not singing around a fire pit!

    Also why are Rob’s hands different colours in the artwork…?! Can anyone help fix that?!
