In this episode, Amy Townsend welcomes a woman whose fantasies highlight the facts about Jesus. Kristen Young is a successful fiction author.  Kristen's tale is one of childhood dreams coming true for a little girl who loved stories. But along the way, Kristen had to learn that what we read, watch and listen to shapes our lives for good and bad. Ultimately, Kristen learned that a story is a pathway to God, not just for our heads but for our hearts. LINKS Salt is proudly brought to you by Sydney Missionary and Bible College.

This episode Jenny Salt talks to a woman who took the good news to a country where the gospel has grown old and stale. Kelly Landrigan grew up in a fibro house in working-class Sydney. Her family went to church regularly, learning about rules to please God that she could never keep. But hearing the gospel, and understanding grace, took her on a journey to deepest, darkest France.

This episode Amy Townsend speaks to a man whose heart for the gospel sent him west. Alick Arkapaw has a deep love of sport and a 'tell it like it is' attitude.  He grew up in an Australia that is fast fading away. But his love for this great brown land and the people who populate it led him to take his young family to the bush. There, he discovered the real spiritual needs of today's man on the land.

Jenny's guest this episode is Tamar Pollard. You won't have necessarily heard her name before, but if you were living in the UK in 1997 you would have seen photos of her family on the front page of every newspaper.  And the headlines would have included words like 'murder' and 'tragedy'. Tamar's story is one that does include details of horrific circumstances.  But it's also a story of incredible faith and a journey of forgiveness that will take your breath away.

This episode Amy Townsend talks to Jenny, someone who has left her Australian life behind to be a stranger in a foreign land. We can't tell you her last name because Jenny is currently doing gospel work in an unreached part of the world where being a Christian is not a safe thing to be. But there's a lot more to Jenny's story than her time on the mission field.  Today, we'll be talking about the challenges she faces every time she comes home.
