Join us each Thursday for in-depth, long-form conversations exploring life, faith and culture. In every episode, Karl sits down with leaders, thinkers and everyday people who have wrestled deeply with belief - and come out changed.
These are honest conversations about success and failure, certainty and doubt, loss and renewal. Stories that go beneath the headlines and beyond the surface.
You’ll hear untold insights from names you may recognise - like John Anderson, Colin Buchanan, Cass Langton and Michael Bird - as well as powerful stories from lesser-known voices whose experiences and reflections will challenge and inspire you.
Hosted by Karl Faase - pastor, leader, media communicator and social commentator - Insight brings thoughtful, gracious and sometimes surprising conversations that examine the big questions of our time through the lens of personal story.
