This I Know
Conversations with Christians
on Life, Faith, and Following Jesus
This I Know grew from The Lydia Project: Conversations with Christian Women, an Australian podcast co-hosted by Tori Walker and Taryn Hayes, featuring many remarkable guests whose lives bore witness to God’s faithfulness through every season. After several years, the podcast entered a season of hiatus as ministry, work, and family commitments grew.
Now the journey continues.
Through conversations with Christian men and women from different walks of life, we explore the ways God shapes us through seasons of joy and suffering, doubt and faith, failure and growth. These are stories of grace at work: ordinary people being patiently transformed by our Saviour, Jesus.
Along the way, we’ll reflect on the books, authors, and resources that have helped shape our understanding of God and deepen our walk with Him.
Whether you’re weary, hopeful, searching, or simply seeking to keep following Jesus faithfully, This I Know is here to encourage you, challenge you, and strengthen your courage in Christ. In a world full of shifting opinions and uncertain answers, we return again and again to the same firm ground: God’s Word is trustworthy, and His promises hold. Yes, Jesus loves us. This we know. For the Bible tells us so.

Jo grew up in a non-Christian family but came to Christ while at university. Later on she felt challenged to go serve the Lord overseas and ended up living in a crowded city for 11 years before returning to Australia due to her husband’s health. She took up ministry roles that used her plethora of skills from working in different situations such as, community development, cross-cultural ministry, working with families, kids and youth, then care and discipleship ministry.

"I felt like someone had given me some of the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle but without all of them and without the box with the lid that actually helps to put it together. That’s what it felt like."
"I was generally the one arguing with the Christian studies teacher, trying to pull out, what I thought were, apparent contradictions in the Bible or tough questions."
"I’d heard about the needs of the Muslim world but honestly at the time I felt really uncomfortable around Muslim women."
"I developed a love for Muslim women that went alongside that challenge that I’d heard."
"Great, huge needs."
"At one point I was a part of a women’s Bible study where the only person in the group who could read was the national leader."
"It (the Pentecostal church) often felt like it was, intentionally or unintentionally, focused on what I was doing to generate my Christian life rather than what Christ had done."
"I could see God taking me on this gentle process of different denominations."
"Rest in all that Christ has done and not what I generate in my Christian life."
"I think that remembering what God’s done in the past but also remembering who God is is such an important part of our lives."
"So just trying to pull back, reset my priorities."
