In this week’s episode of Politics in the Pulpit, our host, Revd Dr Helen Paynter, chats to Isabella Senior.

Isabella is the Young Leaders' Development Coordinator for Baptists Together. She's from Brazil and grew up church planting with her family. Isabella first came to the UK age 15 on a mission trip when she heard God speak to her about not waiting to be older to serve Jesus and to focus on reaching younger generations. At age 18 Isabella moved to the UK in response to God's call and she now works supporting young adults nationally in the Baptist movement. Isabella loves connecting with people and encouraging them to grow as missionary disciples while discovering their God-given potential for the Kingdom.

Helen and Isabella discuss preaching on the lectionary readings for Sunday 25th August, which are: 1 Kings 8:(1, 6, 10-11), 22-30, 41-43 Ephesians 6:10-20 John 6:56-69 Psalm 84

This is the last episode of our summer season, and we will be back with the autumn season mid-September.
