For Such a Time as This: A Conversation with Andrew Ollerton

In this episode of the CGN Podcast, host Daniel Williams sits down with Dr. Andrew Ollerton to explore what it means for the church to faithfully engage the world in this cultural moment.


Andrew shares his heart for helping people understand the Bible and why clarity in Scripture leads to clarity in life. From his work with Bible Society to collaborating with Bear Grylls, Andrew brings a unique perspective as a “bridge” between academic theology and everyday discipleship.


Together, they discuss the growing global interest in the Bible, the challenges people face when reading it, and why now is a critical moment for the church to step forward with truth, clarity, and confidence.


In This Episode, You’ll Hear About:

  • Why “when we make sense of the Bible, the Bible makes sense of us” 
  • The story of King Josiah and how rediscovering Scripture leads to real transformation 
  • The rise in Bible engagement and spiritual searching, especially among young people
  • What a “digital revival” looks like and where people are actually seeking truth today 
  • Why the church must stop avoiding hard questions and start addressing them head-on
  • The inspiration behind Andrew’s new book tackling the Bible’s toughest topics
  • How to engage conversations around science, suffering, miracles, and morality
  • Why faith, not expertise, is the most important thing leaders bring to ministry
