From Day Three

From Day Three

From Day Three is a podcast for anyone walking through the messy middle, the waiting, the rebuilding, and the “not yet” seasons of life.

Every episode explores themes of resurrection, renewal, revival, and identity, drawing inspiration from the empty tomb on the third day. Through real stories, honest conversations, and practical encouragement, we unpack what it means to follow Jesus when life feels uncertain and faith feels costly.

Rooted in authentic faith and real experience, FD3 is about discovering how God rebuilds us from the inside out even when it feels like nothing is changing.

    40 Years Following Jesus: Faith, Doubt, Loss & Why I Still Believe | Aled Griffith

    What does following Jesus look like after 40 years of real life? Aled Griffiths joins Emmanuel for a deeply personal conversation about encountering Jesus, spiritual hunger, discipleship, doubt, unanswered prayer, loss and learning to trust God through it all. Aled shares the unlikely story of how he came to faith at university, the prayer meeting that marked his life, why the next generation needs spiritual mothers and fathers, and how losing his first wife, Helen, challenged his understanding of prayer without destroying his trust in God. After four decades following Jesus, Aled reflects on why he still believes and why he wants to spend the rest of his life living in the light of the resurrection. A conversation about faith that survives real life and the importance of being a disciple in community.

    Friendship & Loneliness: Why Do I Still Feel Alone?

    Can you be surrounded by people and still feel lonely? In this episode of Messy Middles, Emmanuel, Joel, Meg and Jamie Lee have an honest conversation about friendship, loneliness and the cost of genuine community. They unpack social media and false intimacy, the fear of vulnerability, building trust, knowing who belongs in your inner circle, Christian and non-Christian friendships, and what to do when isolation feels safer than letting people in. And ultimately, they ask what Jesus has to do with all of it. Because we're not meant to walk this life alone. FROM DAY THREE Because Jesus got up, we get to continue living. HOSEA 6:2

    I Found Jesus, Then I Felt Lost | Eden

    Eden always sensed there was “something” more — she just didn’t know what it was. Then a friend invited her to church, where Eden experienced something she describes simply as feeling “clean.” Months later, surrounded by a community where she felt safe, she made the decision to give her life to Jesus. But finding Jesus didn’t mean everything suddenly became easy. Eden joins Emmanuel for an honest conversation about belonging, people-pleasing, finding faith for herself, losing the regular community she had in youth, feeling lost, making mistakes and learning what it means to become grounded in Jesus. What happens after you give your life to Jesus — when the moment is over and real life continues? A real conversation about faith, community and learning to follow Jesus for yourself.

    Comparison: Why Am I Always Looking At Everyone Else?

    Why is it so hard to stop comparing ourselves to other people? From social media and success to appearance, calling and feeling like everyone else is further ahead, comparison can quickly steal our joy and make us question who we are. In this episode of Messy Middles, Emmanuel is joined by Joel, Amy and Meg for an honest conversation about the comparison trap, celebrating the small wins, body image, being authentically yourself and learning to find confidence in who God has made you to be. Because ultimately, we’re not in competition with one another — we’re on the same journey towards Jesus. Continue living from day three. #FromDayThree #MessyMiddles

    Faith, Football & Finding Jesus for Yourself | Tom Davenport

    Tom Davenport grew up in a Christian family, but for years church felt more like a chore than a faith of his own. That began to change through friendship, Christian community and seeing God move in the lives of people around him. Tom joins Emmanuel and Joel to talk about making faith your own, encountering God at youth festivals, inviting friends to church, seeing friends give their lives to Jesus, and how football — once something he felt church was stopping him from pursuing — has now become a place for mission through Reach FC. They also explore the next generation, youth leadership and how churches can create spaces where young people feel free to encounter God for themselves. Faith. Football. Friendship. And finding Jesus for yourself.

    Excellence vs Performance | Messy Middles Ep. 2

    When does excellence become performance? Doing things well isn't the problem. But what happens when our desire for excellence quietly becomes a need for approval, praise or recognition? In Episode 2 of Messy Middles, Emmanuel is joined by Jordan Piano, Meg and Joel to explore the tension between excellence and performance. Through honest stories from worship leading, creative production, performing and church leadership, they unpack the importance of asking one simple question: why? From the idea of an “audience of one” to Psalm 33's call to “play skillfully”, this conversation explores how we can bring our best, develop our gifts and pursue excellence without losing sight of who we're doing it for. Welcome to the messy middle.

    I Thought I Had to Be Perfect | Kevin Liu

    For much of his life, Kevin Liu felt the pressure to be perfect.

Now a husband, father of three and children's and families worker, Kevin opens up about seeking Christian counselling, learning to ask for help and wanting to become more present for his wife and children. Emmanuel and Kevin also explore the pressures facing young adults and young parents, the importance of authentic Christian community, and the signs of God at work in the next generation. Kevin is still in the middle of the journey. But he's learning that following Jesus isn't about achieving perfection. It's about living not for victory, but from victory.

    What If God Actually Changed Your Heart? | Jack Knowles
