Honest conversations in under 30 minutes about the authentic Christian life in contemporary culture. The grit and the glory of how we seek first the kingdom of God in everyday life.
On Tuesday 1st Sept 2026, The Well Sheffield staff team sat down to think through some of the likely reactions, theology and responses to the tragedy at The Big Church Festival on 28th August, when one person died and others were injured in an accident.
Several of our folk from The Well were involved in the event, and it has made national headlines and provoked a lot of conversation on social media.
In this episode, we share our incomplete thoughts and reactions in the hopes it helps you to grapple with some of the questions around suffering, circumstances, and where God may be found.
The quality isn't perfect, it was an impromptu group discussion so you might need to adjust the volume occasionally.

What's the leader's journey to multiplication? // with Josh and Nick // S3:11
Our second episode with Josh Muse, who leads Kaleo International, a family of churches, missionaries, and ministries in 14 nations. Nick (Minister The Well Sheffield) and Josh get under-the-surface into the questions of leadership which can help or hinder missional movement.
What is the internal journey of a leader? What can we learn from the early church about growth? How do we structure our churches and organisations to be more like 'movements'? What structures and practices help them become fit to multiply and decentralise?

Having a Multiplication Mindset // with Josh and Nick // S3:10
We hear from Josh Muse, who leads Kaleo International, a family of churches, missionaries, and ministries in 14 nations.
Josh shares his story with Nick of how God radically caught his attention as a farmer's son aged 9 with a call to the nations. Over the years much mindset shift was needed to get Josh ready to live a naturally supernatural life which is seeing the kingdom of God multiply internationally.
