Ep 30 - Jess’ testimony

In the final episode of 2025, Izzie sits down with good friend Jess, to hear all about her testimony. Jess shares with honesty and tells us all about her life before she was a Christian, how she hears God in nature 🌳and how her life was changed by Jesus ✝️


Also there’s a dummy moment from the trio (Rob, Izzie and Jess!) reminding us all of the “aka us” bit in the title.


We really hope you’ve enjoyed season 3! Season 4 teaser is out on the 6th January and the first full episode will out on the 27th January! 🗓️ Expect more stories, Christian topics covered and, of course, dummy moments!


📖 Real stories. ✝️ Jesus changing lives. 🔥 Testimonies.

Ep 29 - Christmas: Santa or Jesus?

🎄🎅✨ It’s beginning to look a lot like… well, everything. From mistletoe to baby Jesus to chocolate advent calendars… this week we dive into all things Christmas — the fun, the chaotic, the commercial… and Christ at the centre of it all.


Join Izzie and Rob as they chat dummy moments (hot chocolate powder and very questionable Amazon subscriptions 👀), childhood Christmas memories, and whether Christians can enjoy Santa and still keep Jesus first.


Next week is the series finale, with the lovely Jess sharing her testimony 🙌


✨ Real stories. ✝️ Real Jesus. 🎄 Real Christmas.

Ep 28 - What is the rapture?

In this long-awaited episode, Adam —vicar, youth leader, Danehill trustee/legend, and midnight-kebab survivor—helps unpack the requested (and confusing) topic: the rapture 📖.


With clarity and humour, Adam explains what the Bible actually says, and (arguably) the two main views of the rapture. From Left Behind disappearances to a picture of Jesus’ cosmic return. Adam also breaks down how early Christians understood persecution, how Revelation uses symbols, and why Jesus’ return should encourage us rather than freak us out.


Listen to hear how this matters for everyday life—exams, school stress, friendships—and how not to panic every time someone online says, “He’s coming back tonight!”


Whether you've been a Christian for years, or someone who's heard the word “rapture” and thought it was a Marvel movie, this episode breaks it down simply and biblically.

🌤️ The rapture. ✝️ Jesus will return. 🤔 What will you do?

Ep 27 - Discipleship!

In this episode, Rob and Izzie dive into the heart of discipleship — what does it really mean to follow Jesus alongside others (obviously silly dummy moments included 😅). They explore how being a disciple isn’t just about believing in Jesus, but actively learning, growing, and supporting one another in faith ✨.


They share examples from their own lives, from mentors who shaped them to mentoring younger Christians themselves, and practical ways to find or be a disciple today. Expect encouragement, honest stories, and tips on building relationships that sharpen your faith, challenge you in love, and help you walk closer with God.


Whether you’re new to faith, looking for guidance, or keen to mentor someone else, this episode is full of insight and practical wisdom.


📖 Discipleship. 🤝 In this together. 🌟 Be encouraged.

Ep 26 - How do I pick between Church and sports?

This week, Rob sits down with long-time friend Cameron for a brilliantly honest conversation about growing up between two worlds on a Sunday morning. Football ⚽ and Church ⛪. From a clumsy dummy moment on the dance floor to early-teen frustrations about missing matches, Cam shares what it was really like navigating faith, family expectations, and his absolute love of the game.


We also hear stories from university futsal, deep conversations about purpose, and how faith naturally spilled into friends lives. Plus, Cam reflects on how everything changed when he began seeing sport as a way to worship God rather than a replacement for Him – Finding that healthy balance!


If you’re a young person juggling commitments, wondering how faith fits alongside the passions you love — this episode is full of encouragement, challenge, and hope.


📅 Priorities on a Sunday. ⛪⚽ Church or sport? 🙌 Worship God in everything.

Ep 25 - Would Jesus have TikTok?

This week, we go straight in to if Jesus was here today, would he use TikTok? How cultured! Speaking of culture, we chat about where Jesus got involved in culture, where he stayed away from it, and what that might mean for us scrolling, posting, and trying not to get distracted online. Plus, Izzie shares some classic “dummy moments” from her week (including a DIY hair mare… oops 😬), and we think about how social media fits into our faith without getting in the way.


We’ll also give some Bible verses to help you think about whether to stay on social media, take a break, or just use it wisely — because, like Jesus, maybe it’s all about how you use it, not whether you use it at all.

Ep 24 - Exams AGH!

Izzie (and Rob’s!) friend, Ezra, chats about exams, stress, and how to keep your faith in the middle of it all. 🎓✨


Ezra shares his journey from GCSEs to university, and how he balances study, church, (don’t forget the gym! 💪) and his personal relationship with God. Also spoken about is trusting God when things feel out of control, carving out time for prayer, and finding encouragement from friends and church communities.


If you’re facing mocks, A-levels, or just the general stress of school life, this episode is packed with honest advice, spiritual encouragement, and some really practical ways to keep your faith alive while revising what seem like non stop.


Don’t forget the usual dummy moments including Izzie forgetting to ask Ezra for his dummy moment! 🙈


📚Exam time. ❌ No more stress. 😇 God is in control.

Ep 23 - Being Young and being a Leader

Ever wondered how to be a leader when you still feel like you’re figuring life out? Izzie and Rob chat all things young leadership — from starting out and serving well, to dealing with nerves, awkward small talk, and that classic “I don’t know enough” panic. 🙈


They’ll unpack how Jesus flipped leadership upside down (spoiler: it involves feet washing 🦶), why being young doesn’t mean you can’t make an impact, and how to lead even when you don’t have it all together.


Whether you’re running a CU, helping at church, or just trying to be a good mate, this one’s for you.


☕ Grab your tea (or coffee if you’re fancy) and tune in.

⏰ Time to chat. 👦 🧒 Young leader. 🫵 Be the example.

Ep 22 - Divorce in the family

Divorce is one of those topics that can feel really heavy or confusing — especially as a Christian. In this episode, Rob (yes, he’s back!) sits down with his Welsh friend, Heulwen, to chat honestly about how divorce impacts families and faith… especially as a teenager.


Heulwen shares part of her story and what she’s learned about forgiveness and healing along the way. Heulwen also shares what Bible verse helped her during it all and how she tries to help the young people she meets whose family are going through similar.


Of course, there are plenty of dummy moments too — Rob’s guitar mishaps, Izzie’s almost getting in the wrong car and Heulwen is falling over 🙄 oh dear! (Also talk of pensions and loud dogs!)


It’s real, honest, and (as always) just us trying to figure it out.


❤️ Real families. ✝️ God still working. ❌ Not taboo.

Ep 21 - What if my family aren’t Christians?

This week, Rob’s away on parental leave — but don’t panic! Adele, his wonderful wife steps in to join Izzie for a very real chat about what it’s like when your family aren’t Christians. How do you handle that? What does it look like to live out your faith at home? And how do you handle different family priorities? Adele also shares part of her own story of faith and the long awaited dummy moments are back! Turns out dummy moments run in the family.


It’s honest, funny, and full of encouragement — because even when faith feels tricky at home, God’s still right in the middle of it.

Ep 20 - Worship: Sunday morning or a lifestyle?

It’s the big season 2 finale! Rob and Izzie dive into what worship really means—more than just singing on a Sunday, but a whole lifestyle of following Jesus. Worship is about sacrifice (allowing it to cost us something), and living every day to glorify God… but don’t worry, it’s not all heavy stuff!


Also in the episode, Izzie brings a hilarious lasagne-related dummy moment to the table (literally 😂).


This episode is a celebration of God’s goodness, the joy of worship, and the reminder that Jesus deserves everything.

In this episode of Faith for Dummies, Rob and Izzie get real about mental health and what it means to follow Jesus when life feels heavy. They dive into the Psalms to see how God’s Word speaks to our struggles, and remind us that even the Bible’s greatest heroes wrestled with emotions too.


Of course, there’s a classic dummy moment along the way to keep it light. 😅


If you’re struggling, please remember: you are valued, you matter, and it’s okay to reach out for help.

(Also super relevant if you’re working weekends… or even still in school, to be honest!)Caitlin is interviewed about being a Christian at work and sharing your faith with colleagues—without being weird about it. Kinda scary. Kinda awkward. Totally important!

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.

Ep 12 - What’s so great about summer camp?

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!
