The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church has launched a new phase of its global podcast series, “Behind the Plymouth Brethren – a not-so Exclusive podcast,” by featuring voices from North America. This expansion follows the podcast’s initial global release in 2025 and marks the first time the series has centered on members from the continent. The new episodes aim to broaden the church’s reach and provide fresh perspectives on its faith, community life, and the daily experiences of its members.

Hosted by PBCC spokesperson Lloyd Grimshaw, the podcast continues to serve as an open platform for church members to share their stories in their own words. The series addresses common misconceptions about Plymouth Brethren teachings and highlights the role of faith in modern life. The expansion into North America reflects the church’s broader effort to engage more openly with global audiences and share firsthand accounts of life within the church community.

The first three North American episodes, now available on YouTube, spotlight individuals whose stories reflect both local roots and global connections. Two more episodes are in production, featuring a diverse range of personal experiences—from entrepreneurship and mentorship to community involvement and charitable work. These episodes aim to provide a more comprehensive view of the church’s members and their contributions.

“For many years, the Brethren have focused quietly on our families and faith communities,” said Mr. Grimshaw. “Through our podcast and its guests, including these new North American voices, we want to offer a clearer picture of who we are by telling real stories from our members around the world.”

The latest podcast features Daniel White, who grew up in Northern Ireland during a period of conflict and now lives in Detroit, MI, with his family. His story traces a journey across the UK and Ireland to the United States, highlighting themes of resilience, opportunity, and the support of a global church community. His experience underscores the church’s emphasis on community and the interconnectedness of its members worldwide.

Two earlier episodes crisscross the Canadian plains. Maple Creek, SK-based Michael Bond shares how life in a small rural town is complemented by international travel and a global network built through work and church connections. Regina, SK-based entrepreneur Melissa Biggs discusses launching a new business while balancing a career in sales and marketing, addressing common misconceptions about women in the Church—emphasizing personal choice and professional ambition. These stories reflect the diverse experiences of members and the church’s commitment to supporting its global community.
