  • Talia Dean's Story: Leaving Mainstream Pop for Christ | 165

    Talia Dean's Story: Leaving Mainstream Pop for Christ | 165
    26 Oct 2026

    In this episode, I speak with Talia Dean about her unexpected transition from mainstream pop success to the Christian music industry. I wanted to chat with her about the insights she has gained while navigating the UK Christian and Gospel charts, and what it was like to record a Christmas-style worship anthem with a rock legend in the middle of a July heatwave. Talia turned a period of deep personal emptiness into a thriving spiritual awakening that brought her back to her religious roots.

    We explore the deep spiritual resonance behind her latest music, the vital role that unity and open-mindedness play across different Christian denominations, and the inspiring account of how hitting rock bottom in the entertainment industry led her to a profound encounter with Christ.

    Some highlights from this episode include:

    • Collaborating with a Rock Legend: Talia shares the incredible story behind recording "Praise Your Name" with Sir Brian May of Queen, and the surprising realization that the UK lacked a centralized Christian music chart until the recent rise of Step FWD.

    • From The X Factor to Finding Faith: A deep dive into Talia’s experience in the secular entertainment industry, how the pursuit of fame left her feeling unfulfilled, and the unmistakable calling that led her back to the Catholic Church.

    • Navigating Denominational Divides: Talia’s candid reflections on attending the Alpha Course, exploring various congregations, and her desire for a unified Christian front that focuses on a shared love for Jesus rather than theological borders.

    • The Angels Are Calling: The touching backstory behind the song written by Sir Brian May for a dear friend who passed away, and the undeniable spiritual message woven into its lyrics.

    • Unearthing Noah's Ark: A fun tangent exploring the recent geological investigations in the mountains of Ararat, and how tangible evidence of biblical history can strengthen modern faith.

    About Talia
    Talia Dean is an acclaimed singer, songwriter, and former X Factor finalist who has made a profound pivot from the mainstream entertainment industry to faith-driven music. Known for her powerhouse vocals, Talia recently collaborated with Queen's Sir Brian May on the Christian chart-topping single "Praise Your Name." After experiencing the highs and lows of mainstream fame, she sought deeper meaning, leading to a dramatic reconversion to the Catholic faith. Talia now uses her platform to share her spiritual journey, advocate for unity among Christian denominations, and release inspiring new music, including her latest single, "The Angels Are Calling."

  • Is Noah's Ark Actually "100% Confirmed"? The Truth Behind the Headlines With Andrew Jones | 164

    Is Noah's Ark Actually "100% Confirmed"? The Truth Behind the Headlines With Andrew Jones | 164
    18 Oct 2026
    In this weeks episode, I speak with returning guest Andrew Jones, who is the Vice President of the Noah's Ark Project and the founder of Noah's Ark Scans. I wanted to catch up with him after more than two years to discuss the remarkable new developments at the Durupinar site in eastern Turkey, where his team recently secured official university permits to conduct deep-penetration radar scans, randomized soil testing, and core drilling for the very first time. Andrew takes us behind the scenes of a whirlwind field season that has dominated global news feeds and social media.We explore why the account of Noah's Ark continues to captivate modern society, what the scientific data actually shows beneath the surface of the 300-cubit boat-shaped formation, and the intense local and academic opposition the team has had to overcome to keep the investigation moving forward.Some highlights from this episode include:Bear Grylls on the Mountains of Ararat: Behind-the-scenes stories from Bear Grylls's recent visit to the Durupinar formation to film an upcoming 90-minute documentary, complete with taking soil samples, paragliding into the adjacent valley, and rappelling into an ancient Urartu castle, alongside a look at his bestselling book, The Greatest Story Ever Told.The Breakthrough Soil Analysis: How a chance observation of yellowing grass inside the boat formation led an Australian soil scientist and a veteran Turkish geologist to conduct an 88-sample randomized soil study, revealing three times more organic matter and 38% more potassium inside the structure compared to the surrounding mountainside.Subsurface Corridors, Right Angles, and Core Drilling: A detailed breakdown of what the 2019 through 2026 GPR scans and 20-meter core drills have uncovered, including angular subsurface anomalies, three distinct structural layers, a central 20-foot vertical cavity, and deep layers of rich, pebble-free organic soil.Dissecting the "100% Confirmed" UK Media Headlines: Andrew addresses the viral newspaper headlines claiming Noah's Ark has been 100% confirmed, separating sensationalized media clickbait from the step-by-step forensic case his scientific team is actually building.Miraculous Permits and Fierce Opposition: The story of how prayer in Ankara led to securing a historic excavation and survey permit in just one month, and how the team navigated coordinated attempts by critics to shut down the fieldwork before the local governor intervened in their favor.About Andrew Andrew Jones is an American researcher, software developer, tour leader, and the founder of Noah's Ark Scans, as well as the Vice President of the Noah's Ark Research Project. Having spent nearly three decades investigating the Durupinar boat formation in the mountains of Ararat in eastern Turkey, he leads international scientific teams utilizing cutting-edge Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT), LiDAR, and deep sonic core drilling to map the subsurface structure of the site. His work and findings have been featured across global media outlets including Fox News, GB News, Newsmax, OAN, and the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN).You can find Andrew's work and connect with Noah's Ark Scans at the following links:Official Website & Tours: https://www.noahsarkscans.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NoahsArkScansFacebook, Instagram & X: @NoahsArkScansSupport the Core Drilling Fundraiser: https://www.givesendgo.com/ (via noahsarkscans.com)Book Referenced in This Episode:Bear Grylls - The Greatest Story Ever Told: An Eyewitness Account:Official Book Site: https://greateststoryevertoldbook.com/Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/217394469-the-greatest-story-ever-toldAudible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Greatest-Story-Ever-Told-Audiobook/B0FCG6VC4HFollow For All The Saints on social media for updates and inspiring content:www.instagram.com/forallthesaintspodhttps://www.facebook.com/forallthesaintspod/For All The Saints episodes are released every Monday on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and more:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVDUQg_qZIU&list=UULFFf7vzrJ2LNWmp1Kl-c6K9Qhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3j64txm9qbGVVZOM48P4HS?si=bb31d048e05141f2https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/for-all-the-saints/id1703815271If you have feedback or any suggestions for topics or guests, connect with Ben & Sean via hello@forallthesaints.org or DM on InstagramConversations to Refresh Your Faith.

  • Special General Conference Roundtable: On Location in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia | 163

    Special General Conference Roundtable: On Location in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia | 163
    11 Oct 2026
    In this week's roundtable special, I sit down on location in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for a discussion with three local members: Brother Felix, Sister Anesha, and Sister Chen-Ying. Returning to the country where I served my full-time mission, we pair the living history of the Church in West Malaysia with personal reflections on the messages delivered during the recent October General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.From early pioneers who joined in the 1980s to the rising generation of leaders today, we explore how the counsel of prophets, apostles, and general officers speaks directly to the realities of discipleship in Malaysia. Together, we unpack key conference addresses, exploring what it looks like to anchor oneself in Jesus Christ during life's storms, establish a personal temple culture, avoid modern societal traps, and embrace our foundational identity as children of God.Some highlights from this episode include:Pioneers of the Church in Malaysia: Brother Felix recounts joining the Church in 1982 following a two-hour conversation with missionaries at the Sungei Wang shopping complex, serving a mission just months later, and watching the Church grow from a small branch of 60 to 70 people into an expansive community across West and East Malaysia.A Special Fast for a Future Stake: Local insights into the spiritual growth of the Kuala Lumpur Malaysia District as members prepare through a dedicated fast for the organization of a stake, the blessing of a resident patriarch, and the future dream of a temple in Malaysia.Sister Tamara W. Runia on "The Sculpting of Our Souls": Sister Chen-Ying and the panel examine Sister Runia’s impactful message, diving into the truth that the gospel is not an umbrella designed to shield us from the rain, but an anchor in Jesus Christ that helps us endure trials, experience spiritual healing, and allow the Savior to patiently sculpt our souls.Elder Gerrit W. Gong on "Come to the Lord in His Holy House": Brother Felix shares how Elder Gong’s address on developing a personal temple culture resonates with Malaysian Saints, from the peace found in the celestial room to the sacrifices made traveling to temples in Bangkok, Manila, and soon Singapore. The group also enjoys Elder Gong’s signature humor about why temple workers cross the road to bless souls on the other side of the veil.President Rosemary K. Chibota on being "A Child of God": Sister Anesha reflects on the practical ministering taught in Sister Yee’s address, emphasizing that helping others feel seen often starts with something as simple as remembering a name, and remembering that divine identity is inherited rather than achieved.President D. Todd Christofferson on "O Be Wise": The roundtable reacts to President Christofferson’s direct counsel warning against the pervasive dangers and addictions of gambling and online betting, examining how digital accessibility impacts youth today and why time and means should be consecrated to doing good.President Dallin H. Oaks on "The Gospel of Jesus Christ Is for All": The panel ponders President Oaks’s address, reflecting on his reminder that every disciple is a work in progress on the covenant path. They discuss overcoming spiritual perfectionism, the importance of generous fast offerings, and balancing secular pursuits so they never limit our spiritual horizon.About the Guests: Brother Felix is an early pioneer of the Church in Malaysia who joined in 1982 and served a full-time mission from 1983 to 1985. Sister Chen-Ying is a clinical psychologist who joined the Church while studying in Massachusetts and has served as a district Young Women leader. Sister Anesha is a lifelong member from Puchong who served in the Singapore Mission. All three reside in West Malaysia and actively serve within the Kuala Lumpur Malaysia District.General Conference Resources:To read, watch, or listen to all the addresses discussed in this episode, visit the October General Conference at:https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2026/10?lang=engFollow For All The Saints on social media for updates and inspiring content:www.instagram.com/forallthesaintspodhttps://www.facebook.com/forallthesaintspod/For All The Saints episodes are released every Monday on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and more:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVDUQg_qZIU&list=UULFFf7vzrJ2LNWmp1Kl-c6K9Qhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3j64txm9qbGVVZOM48P4HS?si=bb31d048e05141f2https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/for-all-the-saints/id1703815271If you have feedback or any suggestions for topics or guests, connect with Ben & Sean via hello@forallthesaints.org or DM on InstagramConversations to Refresh Your Faith.
