About this listen

 Christian podcast about discipleship, faith, and spiritual growth with practical tips. When was the last time you got lost — missed a turn, second-guessed the sat nav, or ended up somewhere you didn’t plan to be? Waypoint is a podcast about finding our way and living with purpose. Some days, Neil struggles to find his way through the house, never mind through life — but that’s the point. Navigating real faith in raw, modern life is what every Christian is called to do. Easier said than done when we’re trying to live by a book written centuries ago by people from different cultures, languages, and worlds — yet somehow still speaking right into ours. Honest. Funny at times, and always hopeful. Join Neil as he wrestles, wonders, and walks toward Jesus — our true North - often with his two crazy cocker spaniels on the journey with him.

  • The authenticity paradox / Christian spiritual growth

    The authenticity paradox / Christian spiritual growth
    Oct 21 2025
    When was the last time you stubbed your toe and thanked God for the joy of excruciating agony? Neil hasn’t quite reached that level of happiness and holy enthusiasm. So when people say, “Be true to yourself,” he can’t help but notice the paradox — because being true to yourself and being true to Jesus aren’t always compatible. In this first episode of Waypoint, Neil O’Boyle digs into the tension between the “real me” and the “Christ-like me.” With warmth, wit, and northern honesty, he explores what genuine authenticity looks like when we stop performing and start aligning our lives with the One who is truly real. And just for fun Neil does it in the rain, sitting on his swinging bench with his dog distracting him throughout.

  • Overcoming the comparison trap / Christian faith & growth

    Overcoming the comparison trap / Christian faith & growth
    Nov 1 2025
    If the Bible celebrates success, how else are we supposed to measure it — except by comparison? Yet somewhere between healthy ambition and envy, joy quietly slips away. In this episode of Waypoint, Neil O’Boyle explores how comparison sneaks into our faith, ministry, and everyday life, redefining success around others instead of Christ. Through Scripture, real stories, and honest reflection, discover how to find peace in doing what God’s called you to do — not what everyone else seems to be doing better.

  • Can you trust the voice inside you? / Faith & Discipleship

    Can you trust the voice inside you? / Faith & Discipleship
    Nov 8 2025
    We all want to grow in our faith and have the practical tools to improve. Doing that with so much noise is not easy. We all hear voices — the critic, the crowd, and the whisper of God. How do you tell the difference? In this episode of Waypoint, Neil O’Boyle dives into The Voice Within — exploring how self-talk, social media, and spiritual noise shape who we become. From AI “advice” to the endless scroll of hustle culture and pop-spiritual affirmations, this honest and practical conversation asks: 👉 Which voice are you listening to? Drawing on neuroscience, culture, and Scripture, Neil unpacks how to: Recognise when the inner critic is lying Tune out cultural noise and comparison Hear God’s voice with clarity and confidence Find real peace instead of feel-good sedation Featuring real audio moments from trending online voices and grounded biblical truth, The Voice Within is a raw, relevant, and hope-filled reflection for anyone trying to follow Jesus in a world that never shuts up. 📖 “My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” — John 10:27 This podcast uses short extracts from 'Everything is already solved' by Bosque Neuroscience, and Simon Sinek on toxic positivity by Big Moves Motivation via youtube, and does so under fair use.
