Know Surrender
Ian serves as the unpaid pastor and a trustee of Bootle Protestant Free Church, guiding the fellowship with a blend of biblical conviction, historical awareness, and gentle pastoral care. After a lifetime of professional work, he now devotes his time to preaching, teaching, and helping the church think faithfully about Scripture in a changing world.
His ministry is shaped by a commitment to clear, accessible exposition of the Bible, a love for church history, and a desire to help believers understand the depth and beauty of the Christian faith. Know Surrender extends that ministry beyond Sunday, offering reflective conversations that help listeners engage more deeply with the themes raised in the weekly sermon.
Ian’s approach is steady, thoughtful, and rooted in the conviction that true life is found in knowing surrender to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Christ: Our Perfect Sacrifice — A Bible Study on the Ark of the Covenant
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this Bible study we explore how the Ark of the Covenant and its contents point forward to the person and work of Jesus Christ. The golden pot of manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant each reveal the failures of Israel and the limitations of the Old Covenant, yet they also foreshadow the One who would fulfil every promise.
We reflect on Christ as the true bread from heaven, the risen Lord who conquers death, and the perfect fulfilment of the Law who carries our sins away. Unlike the temporary atonement offered through animal sacrifice, Jesus is our superior High Priest whose once‑for‑all sacrifice brings eternal redemption.
Know Surrender is a weekly Bible study podcast offering gentle, scripture‑rooted reflections to help believers grow in faith and understand the story of redemption more deeply.
Welcome to Know Surrender—a podcast about learning what it truly means to surrender to Jesus Christ. Not in defeat, but in devotion. Here we explore scripture, history, and the call to follow Christ with heart, mind, and life. To know surrender… is to know Him.
