Salt – Conversations

This episode Jenny Salt talks to one of Australia's most experienced media workers, Leigh Hatcher. His name and voice may sound very familiar to many because he's had a career in television and radio that spans 50 years. Leigh has interviewed a myriad of famous people and stood on the edge of nation-changing events. But the event that changed him most took place one afternoon on a quiet beach.

This episode Amy Townsend talks to Bill Farrand, a man who has filled key corporate chairs for secular and Christian companies. Bill grew up in a small town going to a small school. He didn't love hard work and wouldn't have described himself as particularly mature or ambitious. And yet somehow he found himself appointed to major positions of leadership and influence - and developing a corporate conscience along the way.

Welcome to the start of Season 9 of Salt, and our 100th episode! This time around Jenny Salt is speaking with Amy Townsend, a person whose path to God was literally a dramatic one. Amy grew up loving to perform, dance and being involved in drama. She loved musical theatre and everything involving a microphone and an audience. But it was off-stage, seeing flatmates live for Jesus in very ordinary ways that took Amy in a very different direction. LINKS Salt is proudly brought to you by Sydney Missionary and Bible College.

This episode Jenny Salt talks to Mal York. Mal seems like your typical minister, preaching and serving in the local church. But what isn't so typical is what he's done on the side. That is, being a chaplain to ambulance services - standing beside paramedics serving the injured and the dying, and offering the hope of Christ in the most hopeless times.

For as long as Dave can remember, he had a heart for mission and a plan to go out into the world with the gospel. He did do that, but not exactly as he had thought. And along the way he came to understand the words, "God works in all things for the good of His people." LINKS Salt is proudly brought to you by Sydney Missionary and Bible College.

Jenny's guest in this episode is Ben Powell, a man whose life you could say is like a jigsaw puzzle that God has put together. Ben has been a secular youth worker, a youth minister in a church, and has lived and served in a place where people haven't even heard the name Jesus. And he's now combining those experiences to equip young people to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. LINKS Salt is proudly brought to you by Sydney Missionary and Bible College.

Jenny Salt's guest this week is Don Carson - some would say a living legend, although he would be unlikely to go there.  But Don is a renowned speaker, scholar, academic and author who has had a profound influence on generations of Christians. He’s had a hand in more than 60 books on various parts of the Bible and preached on any Gospel passage you'd care to name. We’re thrilled to have him on the show from his home in Chicago, USA.
