Welcome to Episode 5 of Cloud & Fire. In this episode, Mark is joined by his former worship pastor and dear friend, Chris Russon, for a deeply moving conversation about decades in pastoral ministry, surviving terminal cancer, and the beauty of meeting God in our absolute weakness. Chris shares his personal journey—from growing up in a Christian home and stepping into worship leadership, to navigating long, sleepless nights in the darkest valleys and discovering the intimate closeness of a loving Father. Together, they reflect on what true resilience looks like in suffering, the power of God's sustaining grace, and how God is continuing to bring freedom through his work at Teen Challenge.

Welcome to Episode 4 of Cloud & Fire. In this episode, Mark is joined by Tylor Crawford from Strangford Nutrition Club for an incredible, unconventional conversation about growing up in Kilcooley, navigating paramilitary involvement, and finding faith not from the depths of rock bottom, but right in the middle of a good life. Tylor shares his personal journey—from how a simple mobile Bible club van unexpectedly changed his family's path, to experiencing a massive snowball effect of faith that reached his business, his cul-de-sac, and his friends. Together, they reflect on what everyday evangelism looks like, the power of obedience, and the reality that you don't need your ducks in a row for Jesus to meet you right where you are.
