Abel and Jacintha Cheah - Generations Transformed by Faith

This episode sits you right at the family table as I interview my own mum and dad Nicky and Pippa Gumbel about their wild, winding journey of faith, calling, and building community from a converted garage to a global movement. It’s an honest, funny, and deeply personal look at how two very normal people learned to follow God one small step and (one leaky gas cooker) at a time.3 Main Takeaways1. Big callings usually start in tiny, messy rooms.The real beginnings were homemade soup in a garage, a leaky gas cooker, and thirty people squeezed into a single room because they said yes to what was in front of them.2. How to discern what is nextThey made lists, prayed, asked wise friends, tried things that flopped, tried things that flew, and learned to follow the fruit. The Holy Spirit often leads by blessing what works and quietly closing what doesn’t.3. The front line is wherever you already stand.Whether you’re a lawyer, a barista, a musician, a parent, or a plumber, you’re already in ministry.
