Our Story. Your Podcast.

Meet Your Hosts

Felicity & Sarah are sisters who grew up in the south of England, came to faith in the North, and now live on different continents.

She loves to teach the Bible in her local church and disciple women on a one-to-one basis, alongside serving at TGC conferences and other women’s retreats.

  • Sarah is married to David, and they live in West London with their three children. She loves teaching and training women in her church family through the women’s ministry. Alongside the podcast, she is also the author of Bumps, Babies & the Gospel.

FAQs

  • Since coming to faith in our twenties, both of us have been hugely impacted by reading the Bible with others - both in bible study groups, and one-to-one. It’s been one of the glorious highlights of church life to continually see God at work as the Bible is opened, in the company of others.

    The Covid-19 Pandemic provided an opportunity for us to read & enjoy the Bible with one another, in ways we hadn’t appreciated before, particularly as we live in different countries. But, in the throws of lockdown life, it also had us hungering for Christian podcast content that was more than just topical or thematic, but quite simply nourished us, in bite-sized content, through the opening of God’s Word.

    Fast forward to January 2021: Pressing record on our conversations seemed to be the natural overflow, as we prayed through whether our conversations could serve others, as we saw a way we could serve a podcast need, and as we acknowledged our time together was already an overflow of what we were doing in our local churches.

    And so, two sisters & a cup of tea was born.

  • Each season works sequentially through a different book of the Bible - so in one sense it doesn’t matter which season you start with, but make sure you start with episode 1 of that season!

  • We’re so glad you’ve found us and we really hope that listening to our conversations will help you to dig deeper into the riches of the Bible for yourself and get to know Christ better. As we say a lot on the podcast, we can’t recommend enough the value of meeting up to read the Bible with someone in person. As a new Christian, we’d wholeheartedly recommend that as your first port of call- so why not see if there’s someone in your local church who would be willing to read the Bible together. There are questions in our show notes that will help you as you get started.

    In terms of which season to start with, 1 Thessalonians is a letter written to new Christians so that’s a great place to start. Or our season in John 1-5 is a helpful place to go for time dwelling on the person of Christ.
