Inspired... with Simon GuillebaudOct 27, 2022
The Prodigal Punk | Lewis Lewis
Lewis left Northern Ireland for London aged 17 with a punk band. He was an avowed atheist and hated religion. Just under four decades of debauchery, drugs and crime ensued, until an extraordinary encounter at his piano out of the blue one day. It was the culmination of 55 years of his mother (and others) praying, but what a beautiful result!
You can be in touch with him at lewislewis[@]fastmail.net

Towards Eden | Sam Ward

Into the Light! | Kevin Wilson
As the University of Exeter prepares to offer a degree in Magic and Occult Science, and the world celebrates Halloween this week, we ask if it’s all just innocent fun? Kevin's descent into the dark arts provides a shocking and sobering reminder of the dangers of engaging in the occult until he experienced powerful deliverance and lasting freedom through a much higher power…
It’s a cracking story!

Mentoring with a Limp | Marty Woods
I love Marty’s raw honesty and tender heart for seeing people fulfil their potential, ‘listening to what their spirit is saying’. From being abused as a child to losing his son at birth, life hasn’t been easy; but in his grieving, he heard the whisper that he would have many ‘spiritual sons’, and indeed his intentional mentoring has seen that come into being and multiplied all over the world. Listen here:
Anyone who is willing to deal with their own junk can mentor someone – you just have to be a few steps further along the road, and be a good listener. Why not grab hold of Marty’s masterclass by downloading it for free or buying it at: awillingspirit.com

Infanticide in the Amazon | Marcia Suzuki
Marcia’s story is off the charts, almost un-believable in the true sense of the word. Ending up in the deepest jungle, facing gang rape, seeing a worm crawl out of her flesh, working with a naked tribe, getting infanticide outlawed in Congress in Brazil, having to flee the country… What a listen!
Marcia’s story is told by Jemimah Wright in A Way Beyond Death: A Brazilian Couple's Fight Against Fear, Suffering, and Infanticide

Back to Basics | Phil Moore
Phil was a ‘successful’ respected, high-profile pastor leading a growing multi-site church in London… and then the Covid pandemic forced him into a costly, radical and liberating reassessment of what church should look like.

From Death to Life | Gram Seed
Gram was a football hooligan, a regular in prison, an addict and ultimately a destitute tramp, which led to him being in a coma for six days. The doctors called his mother in to agree to switch the machine off, but before they did so she allowed two men to pray over him, and he sat up! 27 years ago, this ‘scum of the earth’ started the most extraordinarily redemptive journey, which has given him the opportunity to work in prisons and schools and show thousands of people that nobody is beyond redemption. It’s a great listen! Contact his wife tash@sowingseeds.org.uk for a copy of his book ‘One Step Beyond’ and do take a look at their website: www.sowingseeds.org.uk ---

Worth Everything! | Dr Ed Michaelson

God's Hostage | Andrew Brunson
Dubbed by The Economist as 'the most expensive prisoner in the world', Andrew's imprisonment in Türkiye became a subject of international attention and significance. But in this interview, he shares candidly about just how difficult it was, and how even enduring death threats, gunfire and over twenty years on the mission field hadn't prepared him for the intensity of this experience.
This one is inspiring and challenging in equal measure as Andrew shares with wisdom, humility and a desire to share the lessons he learnt as God's hostage. It’s an important message, do share with others!

Initiating Change in India! | Moses Paul
When Moses went to India, he had no idea he'd end up impacting the lives of millions, be it through strategic student lectures, remote village outreach, or through the campaign of his team, which resulted in internet pornography being entirely blocked on the national Indian 4G network, and 3000 sites completely cut off! Moses' passion for the Lord, particularly in the area of fervent prayer, is a powerful example to us all, and he is not afraid to tackle thorny issues as he seeks to bring hope and Good News to nations!

Shaking up Journalism! | Dr Jenny Taylor
From the most challenging of backgrounds, Jenny developed into a Marxist activist before having a radical encounter with Jesus. This led to a rechannelling of her energies as a journalist to address religious illiteracy in the West. Her campaigns have had seismic impacts, including helping end the conflict in Uganda with Kony’s Lord’s Resistance Army and helping stop the extremist London megamosque from going ahead. It’s a great listen!

Her forthcoming book is titled Unacceptable Truth: The Biblical Foundations of the Fourth Estate and How to Save Journalism. Contact Dan Barlow at Steve Laube Agency for details.

Responding to the Nudge | Ian John
Having grown up attending rough schools and seeing high levels of deprivation in classmates' lives, Ian felt called to teach in tougher areas where few want to go. When I last saw him, a young man that week had tried to stab him in the eye! But he loves his job, his kids, and the regular opportunities to share his faith. And then, a few years ago, he gave himself a challenge of stepping out of his comfort zone consistently. Dozens of salvations and healings later, he’s lost count of all that God has done through him. Be inspired and challenged by how he has lived out what any of us could likewise do! You can contact Ian at iantheteacher[@]pm.me

Forgiven Much, Loving Much! | Bobbi Kumari
*Content Warning* Contains some frank discussion which may be unsuitable for children. What a story! From sex, drugs, and demon-possession to glorious freedom in Christ; from confusion to crystal clarity on the meaning and purpose of life; from fear to radical boldness in calling out what is going on and being totally unashamed as a follow of Jesus. Get ready to be challenged, stirred and inspired! Learn more about or contact Bobbi at livinginlight.co.uk

Giving Your Yes! | Sarah in South East Asia

It’s been costly to say yes to God, but she has no regrets as she loves and cares for society’s most vulnerable. If you want to be connected to Sarah’s work, please email me as it is highly sensitive.

Overcoming… Against All Odds | Dr Ann-Marie Wilson MBE
This is quite simply one of the most remarkable conversations and women I’ve ever come across. Her story involves early-childhood molestation, leaving school at 16, converting to Judaism, violent marriage, divorce, rape, suicide attempts, breakdown, 10 years as a successful businesswoman, gaining a doctorate, hearing the audible voice of God, near-death experiences, starting a charity that has impacted millions of lives by getting Female Genital Mutilation outlawed in various countries, and living actively and still chipper with a terminal illness. It’s the longest podcast we’ve ever done because I couldn’t bring myself to shorten it, and it’s a fitting one for our 100th episode. Get ready to be blown away. I was still shaking my head in awe/disbelief/admiration long after we’d drawn it to a close. I suspect you will too!
Content warning: Contains discussion of abuse and suicide attempts.
Check out www.28toomany.org if you want to get involved. ‘Overcoming – My fight against FGM’ can be ordered from https://standrewsbookshop.co.uk or any book retailer.

Under Attack! | George Watts
George initially thought the people who burst through his kitchen door were students playing a prank, but soon realised their darker intentions when the first one stabbed him in the thigh. A brutal attack followed, in which he genuinely expected to die. A few years on, having experienced a measure of physical and emotional healing, he revisits the attack and explores how his faith has shaped his response to that dark day.

Walk On! | Faye Smith

The Portable Priest | Pat Allerton
Pat’s creativity during lockdown - singing ‘Amazing Grace’ and sharing a quick message of hope on the streets of London - made him a mini-media sensation, and further doors have opened up to share the gospel to millions as a result. An unconventional vicar, he’s both bold and winsome, and that has proved costly at times.
You can buy A Pocketful of Hope at yellowkitebooks.co.uk @theportablepriest on Insta.
