  • Active in the Blind Spot | Christian Hacking
    Feb 26 2026

    Christian Hacking’s life swung when he broke his back in a rock-climbing accident. His high-octane lifestyle came to a smashing spinal-cord-severing halt, leaving him wheelchair-bound and grappling with God’s purpose for his life. He tells his story with searing honesty and humour, and still lives life to the full despite severe physical limitations. He’s married a single-mum and they have four children between them. The last eight years have been spent engaged in activism on behalf of the most helpless and vulnerable in society. What a conversation!

    Rachel Gardner shot to prominence as Founder of the Romance Academy on the BBC. She is part of the Youthscape team and has always been a passionate advocate for youth. Over the last few years she has planted a church in Blackburn with her husband Jason, and their two adopted children, and shares lovely stories of messy transformation there. She’s a great communicator, has written a number of books, and is pure gold.

  • Loving Business! | Peter Vardy
    Feb 12 2026

    I think we’d all like to work for Peter Vardy! When starting up his businesses, he set the ground rules as doing the best for 1) his employees, 2) his customers, and 3) the surrounding community. The results have been (un)surprisingly spectacular. Profits have been ploughed back into projects both nationally and internationally, and hundreds of thousands of lives have been changed. What a story!

    Sign up and book your place for an evening of prayer at the Revival, and a day of world class leadership learning at The Calling - events on the 1st and 2nd October 2026 at the Armadillo Glasgow.

Simon's podcast is such a refreshing listen of God doing great things around the world. Real people sharing their real struggles and victories whilst living the mission. Highly recommend.

Captivating Reality

Simon is a great interviewer and he has an amazing range of contacts. Stories range from gung ho heroism to patient endurance under Great suffering. All of them are permeated by a sense of God‘s grace and love. It’s great to hear stories of God miraculous intervention as well as times when he seems to be absent. The stories are honest and gritty. Highly recommended!

Just inspiring and encouraging. Fabulous!

Been dipping in and out of the podcast for over a month now. It’s good to listen to what God is doing Home on abroad. I’ve passed on a lot of this podcast to all different people whoever or not they’ve listen to them or not they’ve got them..

To sauna and hot tubs.

Fist pumpingly good
