👋 Hey, Sam & Jane here. Born in England, raised in Italy, and now living in London, where we're helping plant a church.
🎙️ Close Friends is where we invite you into our journey as we navigate family, church, business, friendships, and everything in between through the lens of faith. Expect honest conversations, real stories, lessons we're learning, and reflections rooted in the Bible.
☕ Grab a coffee, lean back, and enjoy. ✌️
For those of you who haven't been following us over the past few months, on the 16th of September Jane and I moved from Milan to London. We've been married for one year and nine months, and we left our home, car, jobs, friends, and family behind to come here. Why? Because we felt God calling us to take this step of faith.
In this episode, "My Biggest Struggle Since Moving to London," I open up honestly about what this transition has really been like behind the scenes.

The church is non-negotiable (part 2)
It's okay to hang out with people who are different from you.
It's okay not to click with everyone in your disciple group — learn to love them anyway.
It's okay to have a bad day, or even a "no" day.
But it's not okay to try to follow Jesus while avoiding His people.
The Church is not optional. It's God's design.
In this podcast, we talk about why being planted in a local church matters — not just for your spiritual life, but for your growth, accountability, and calling.
Because the truth is:
You can't live a solo-Christian life.
You grow in community.
You become who you're called to be by walking with others.
Do you want to live inside or outside the covenant community?
Because you only get the benefits of the covenant… if you're part of it.
