🎙️ In This Episode:

I sat down with my friend Jonathan Wood, a pastor’s kid from England, to talk about his powerful testimony, life in ministry, and what it’s really like being a Christian in the UK today.

We also unpack the state of the church in England—and how many of the same issues are showing up in the American church. From cultural drift to weak teaching, from ministry burnout to identifying sound doctrine, this conversation is raw, honest, and deeply needed.

Whether you’re a church leader, a young believer, or just trying to make sense of what’s happening in the Church right now—this episode will challenge and encourage you.

📌 Topics Covered:

• Jonathan’s story growing up in church

• The blessings and struggles of being a pastor’s kid

• The spiritual climate in England

• Parallels between UK and US churches

• How to spot false teaching and hold to truth

Chris Juday is one of the pastors at Grace Church Miami. He has lived an exciting life and has learned so much from the places and situations the Lord has had him in. After 5 years of pastoring Grace Church Miami he has thoughts on what biblical worship should look and sound like and more importantly why that should be what you least worry about when considering what church to go to. Chris is a man of humility and servitude. He is currently getting his Masters of Divinity at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is married and has 2 children, he loves all of them to pieces, as I'm sure you can tell in this interview.

I pray and hope you are blessed by our conversation. Don't forget to follow Strangers to Saints on all platforms.

Looking for a biblically sound church can be difficult sometimes. In this episode I share things every christian should know about the church when it comes to making sure the church you attend or are looking for is a healthy biblical church. We don't want to just walk into any place that calls themselves a church. We must learn what the Bible says and look for a place that best models that. I pray you are helped and blessed by this episode!

One of the biggest lies we are tempted to believe is that we do not need the church. The Bible gives us clear direction on what we should be doing when it comes to the christians life in relationship to the church. I give 5 reasons people avoid the church and scripture that directly refutes all of the reasons we come up with. You need the church, so find a good one!
