    #222 | Walking in the Holy Spirit: Spiritual Awakening & Hearing God’s Voice with Nate Turner
    31 Oct 2026
    What does it mean to walk in the Holy Spirit, hear God’s voice, and follow His leading in everyday life? John Gallagher welcomes Nate Turner, cofounder of TM Global Ministries in Glasgow, Scotland, for a conversation about spiritual awakening, prayer, and the courage to step out in faith. Nate shares how he and his wife, Megan, felt called to leave their life in the United States and pursue ministry in the United Kingdom. Through personal stories of transition, prophetic confirmation, and what he describes as healing and provision, he reflects on learning to trust God beyond familiar routines and comfortable circumstances. Together, John and Nate explore the connection between spiritual awakening and everyday obedience—from family decisions and workplace responsibilities to prayer gatherings and international ministry. Nate also shares his perspective on the church in America and the UK, emphasizing a deeper relationship with Jesus rather than simply maintaining religious routines.

    #221 | Waiting on Grace: 8 Years of Family Estrangement, Faith & Forgiveness with Rachel and Grace
    31 Oct 2026
    How do a mother and daughter reconnect after eight years of family estrangement? Rachel Inouye and her daughter, Grace Roetman, join John Gallagher on Talks with Gallagher to share the story behind their book, Waiting on Grace—and the faith, forgiveness, and vulnerability that helped them rebuild their relationship. Rachel, an author, speaker, and host of the real deal podcast, reflects on holding on to hope without knowing when she would hear from her daughter again. Grace shares her experience of isolation and emotional abuse, the turning point that helped her recognize controlling behavior, and the process of reclaiming her identity after divorce. Together, they recount the letter that reopened communication, their emotional reunion in Chicago, and the ongoing work of rebuilding trust. They also discuss how journaling, prayer, supportive community, and honest conversations shaped their healing. Plus, Grace shares an update on her recent marriage and what a loving, supportive relationship looks like in this new chapter of her life. At the heart of this conversation is hope: not only celebrating reconciliation, but also finding strength during the years when the outcome remains unknown. In this episode

  • #220 | Primal Church: Rediscovering Christian Community with Dwight & Doe Kopp

    #220 | Primal Church: Rediscovering Christian Community with Dwight & Doe Kopp
    27 Oct 2026
    What if we inherited a version of church Jesus never intended? In this episode of Talks with Gallagher, John Gallagher welcomes Dwight and Doe Kopp, authors of Primal Church, to explore Christian community, authentic fellowship, and the difference between attending church and truly belonging. Drawing on their personal journey and their understanding of the New Testament, Dwight and Doe challenge a spectator approach to faith. They discuss what it means for every believer to participate, share spiritual gifts, and contribute to the life of the body of Christ. The conversation begins with a near-fatal carbon monoxide incident that became a powerful illustration in their book. From there, we explore their perspective on church history, Constantine, the Anabaptists, and the development of institutional Christianity before turning to practical questions about house churches, discipleship, and everyday relationships. At the heart of this episode is belonging: being known, making room for vulnerability, and learning to recognize what others bring to Christian community. In this conversation:
    • Moving from passive attendance to active participation.
    • Understanding koinonia, fellowship, and shared life.
    • Spiritual gifts and the priesthood of all believers.
    • Leadership that points people toward Christ rather than a personality.
    • Why changing the location of church does not automatically change its culture.
    • Including children and multiple generations in fellowship.
    • Starting small with meaningful relationships instead of another program.
    Whether you feel lonely at church, are exploring house church, or want deeper connections within your existing faith community, this episode offers questions to consider about discipleship, participation, and life together.
