Have you ever been tasked with creating something really punchy, brief, but with a lot of impact?
Well, in my (Jon's) opinion, our next guest is an expert at this. Lochy Cupit has been making short, powerful presentations for a long time, and this time we talk about his newest creation - the God in 60 Seconds video series!
Lochy has crafted both video and social media reels that share about Jesus in a way that is striking, thought-...

We welcome you to Episode 22, where Lochy takes us through Bible memorisation!
How did Lochy memorise the Book of Mark? Why did he do this? What did he learn? And how can we all memorise Sripture as well?
