Sunburnt Souls: A Christian mental health podcast tackles real-life challenges with faith and honesty. In this deeply moving episode, we explore the intersection of faith and mental health through the story of Jon Owen, a man who traded a promising career for a life dedicated to serving the broken and forgotten.
Radical Hospitality: Opening Doors and Changing Lives Jon and his wife, Lisa, made a radical decision—to open their home to those struggling with addiction, homelessness, and the aftermath of life’s hardships. Their home became a powerful example of Christian community, offering love, dignity, and a sense of belonging to those society often overlooks.
From Family Home to Leading Wayside Chapel Jon’s journey of serving the most vulnerable didn’t stop there. Today, he is the Pastor and CEO of Sydney’s Wayside Chapel in Kings Cross, continuing his mission to bring hope, kindness, and love to those in need. His story is a powerful reminder that small acts of kindness are essential for community mental health and transformation.
Faith in Action: A Life of Radical Hospitality Jon’s life is an example of what happens when we commit to radical Christian hospitality and say ‘yes’ to Jesus—no matter the cost. His faith has led him into messy, beautiful, and life-changing relationships, showing that true Christianity and mental health ministry is found in serving the least of these.
Listen Now: Be Inspired to Love Boldly Jon Owen’s story challenges us to live with open hands and open hearts, making space for those in need. Tune in for powerful faith-based support and a testament to radical love.
