Our Father — The Prayer for All People

Hosts: Reverend Ben Cooper & Leya
Key Scripture: Matthew 6:9–13

Over 2000 years ago, Jesus shared a powerful and universal message through prayer—a message that continues to speak life, hope, and truth to people around the world. He began it with the simple, profound words: "Our Father, who art in heaven…"

In this episode, Reverend Ben Cooper and Leya delve into one of the most well-known and meaningful prayers in human history: The Lord’s Prayer. Whether you’ve grown up hearing these words in church or you're discovering them for the first time, this discussion brings fresh insight into what Jesus truly meant when He taught His disciples to pray.

The conversation explores the context of the prayer from Matthew 6:9–13, where Jesus provides a divine template for how we should approach God. This isn’t just a prayer for the religious or the seasoned believer—it’s a prayer for all people. It offers hope for those who are broken, direction for those who feel lost, and a daily connection with the heart of God for anyone seeking peace and meaning.

Ben and Leya unpack each line of the prayer, discussing how it teaches us about God's holiness, provision, forgiveness, and protection. They reflect on how Jesus chose words that reflect a deeply personal yet communal relationship with the Father. From “Hallowed be Your name” to “Deliver us from evil,” this prayer encapsulates everything from reverence to redemption.

Throughout the episode, listeners will enjoy a light-hearted but meaningful conversation that combines biblical teaching, personal experience, and practical encouragement. You'll hear stories, scriptural insights, and spiritual truths that will make this ancient prayer feel relevant and powerful in today’s world.

The beauty of this prayer lies in its simplicity and depth. It’s a model of how we can approach God—not with perfect words, but with honest hearts. It reminds us that we’re not alone, that God is close, and that His kingdom is near.

Whether you’re praying this for the first time or revisiting it after years, this episode is for you. It’s for those who are strong in faith and those who are searching. The Lord’s Prayer is a gift to all, and this episode helps unpack it with clarity and love.

Let Your Light Shine — Christian Straight Talk in the Last Days

Hosts: Reverend Ben Cooper & Simon Pinchbeck
Scripture Focus: Matthew 5:14–16

In this powerful and unfiltered episode, Reverend Ben Cooper and Simon Pinchbeck return to the mic with another bold edition of #ChristianStraightTalk. The conversation is grounded in the words of Jesus found in Matthew 5:14–16:

Ben and Simon explore what it truly means to shine the light of Christ in a world filled with darkness, deception, and pressure. As they read and reflect on this pivotal section of the Sermon on the Mount, they challenge listeners to live out their faith with conviction and courage—especially as we approach what many recognize as the very last days.

With the unmistakable tone of #ChristianStraightTalk, the duo dives into real-world issues facing the global church today. They discuss religious freedom, the pressure to conform to cultural compromise, and the spiritual warfare that seeks to extinguish the believer’s influence. Listeners are invited to examine their own spiritual resilience, encouraged to stand firm, and reminded that being the “light of the world” isn’t optional—it’s identity.

Simon speaks passionately about what it means to live authentically as a follower of Christ in today's hostile spiritual environment, while Ben offers biblical clarity on how light not only reveals but also repels darkness. They offer strong encouragement for believers who feel isolated or persecuted, drawing attention to the importance of truth, holiness, and bold faith in the end times.

This episode is a wake-up call for the Church. It’s a reminder that we are called to reflect Jesus even when the world pushes back. You’ll hear truth delivered “straight out the barrel”—raw, honest, and unapologetically biblical.

Whether you’re new to faith or have walked with Jesus for decades, this conversation will equip you to stand firm, ignite your passion for truth, and encourage you to let your light shine brighter than ever before. the Bible
