Isi was contemplating drowning by suicide when she had a supernatural encounter that saved her life. In this episode, our guest Pastor Isi De Gersigny shares about her supernatural experiences and angelic encounters. In our time, angels are usually only depicted as cute chubby-face cherubim on greeting cards and are rarely mentioned in church life. For many, the idea of angels is for the “woo-woo” fringes of rational society. Yet throughout Scripture, God frequently speaks through angels, with nearly 50 specific God conversations mentioned. Angels are understood to be God’s messengers - the word “angel” literally means messenger. In the Hebrew Scriptures, angels speak to people like Abraham, Hagar, Moses and Elijah. In the New Testament, angels speak to Mary, Jesus, Peter and John. Angels seem to appear at pivotal moments and often seem to take on the role of the Holy Spirit So, what’s it like to have a God conversation with an angel and what should our expectation be for their participation in our lives? In this episode, we talk with church leader and prophetic creative Isi de Gersigny about God conversations with angels. Isi is qualified to speak into this area, having experienced angelic appearances several times. Isi is the co-founder and pastor of a Jubilee Church along with her husband Fini, the founder of the Create school and a recognised prophet, songwriter, musician, dancer, poet. You’ll hear about: Isi’s back story - including a life-changing encounter as a troubled teenager where a supernatural being (was it Jesus?) rescued her from suicide by drowning. Isi’s angelic encounter in a dream where the angel offered wisdom for her ministry. Angelic encounters carry spiritual revelation, encouragement and guidance for navigating life’s seasons. What angels are - angels are created spirit beings, not defined by gender or physical bodies and who can appear in human form to suit the occasion. The role of angels. Isi shares how angels to minister to believers, reflect God’s nature and act as messengers. Experiences with angels are meant to confirm God’s purposes, and draw us deeper into relationship with God—but not to be worshipped. Practical wisdom for angels. Angelic encounters should not be sought for their own sake but received humbly as part of God’s mission. Pastor Isi de Gersigny is an innovative prophetic songwriter, musician, dancer, poet and speaker whose joy it is to see people come into their freest selves and lead prophetic worship that often spills over into prayer for nations. Isi co-founded Jubilee Church with her husband Fini in Sydney, Australia and Create, a school of Biblical revelation and activation for equipping and releasing disciples into all aspects of society.

You open your Bible. You read a passage you've read a hundred times before. Nothing happens. Sound familiar?
A prophetic minister told a young couple they were "a match made in heaven." She saw red flags but married him anyway. The marriage turned abusive and the "prophet" was later discovered to have been mining personal data to make his words sound accurate. On this episode, I sit down with prophetic minister David Balestri to talk about what's broken in prophetic ministry right now, and what it would take to build something healthier.
Can God really speak through animals? I know – it sounds a little out there. But what if the Holy Spirit, the great Comforter, uses all of creation to bring healing, joy and peace? In this week’s God Conversations podcast, I sit down with Dr Daniela Rizzo, a theologian who explores how God may speak through animals – and why so many of us have quietly experienced this without knowing how to explain it. From grief, to theology, to the big question “will our pets be in heaven?” – this conversation is tender, challenging and biblical. If you love animals and wonder if God might be speaking in more ways than we’ve been taught… this one’s for you!
What if God is already speaking – long before we arrive with answers? In this episode of God Conversations, Tania Harris sits down with hospital chaplain Matt Sanders to explore what it really means to listen for God in the lives of everyday people. Not in church pews. Not in polished testimonies. But in hospital rooms, juvenile detention centres, moments of grief, fear, and profound vulnerability. Matt has spent decades at the coalface of human suffering – first as a chaplain in juvenile hall, and more recently in hospital and hospice settings. What he’s learned overturns one of our most common assumptions: that spiritual conversations require religious language, right beliefs, or even a belief in God at all. Instead, Matt describes chaplaincy as a ministry of presence – the disciplined art of showing up, slowing down, and truly listening.
What if God doesn’t need us to bring answers – but to pay attention? In this episode of God Conversations, Tania Harris speaks with Rev Dr Ash Barker, whose life and ministry have been shaped by listening for God among the urban poor. From Springvale in Melbourne, to Bangkok’s largest slum, and now inner‑city Birmingham, Ash has spent decades learning one core truth: God is already at work. Our role is to notice and join in.
