Faith with Haith

In this raw and honest interview, Gav opens up about growing up experiencing abuse and addiction, and how his life now is not at all where he expected to end up.

Dame Julia Cleverdon is a passionate and practical campaigner who has gained an international reputation for 'connecting the unconnected', inspiring individuals and organisations to work together for the common good. Tune in now to hear how Julia's faith compels her to reach out to the marginalised in society: bringing light to an often very dark world, she is truly a woman of sunshine.

Such a delight and honour to interview one of my heroes: Terry Virgo, the founder of the "New Frontiers" network of churches. Not only is he one of the finest Bible teachers you will ever get to hear, his legacy of church-planting and leadership development has impacted the entire globe, touching the lives of millions. But the main reason this podcast episode is so special to me is that I grew up in "Clarendon", the church Terry started in the '70s where my mum was a founder member. Throughout my teens, my faith was given deep, deep roots and for that I will always be deeply grateful to this wonderful, brilliant and kind man.

The author Corrie Ten Boom wrote: "When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don't throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer."
That perspective on faith sounds all well and good in theory, but what does it actually look like in practice? I never cease to find it deeply humbling to speak with people who are right in the middle of that darkness and yet their trust in God remains. Patricia is most definitely one such person and I know that you will find this episode both deeply moving and hugely inspiring.

Have you ever wondered how faith comes alive in the first place, and the difference it makes? In this episode, Jo unpacks her story and how her life now is all about making a big difference in the life of others.
