Foot on the Gas! | Tim Hughes
6d ago01:08:24Tap to summarize‘Here I am to worship’ was the most sung song in the world apart from ‘Happy Birthday’ when it was released in 2001, but there is so much more to Tim Hughes’ story. He could have pursued a career as an artist in the USA, instead he intentionally stepped away from the huge opportunities on offer. Raising up and equipping worship leaders was a passion, but so was leading a local congregation. The last ten years in Birmingham have produced stunning fruit through the planting of Gas Street Church and other communities of faith.

The Faithful Scientist | John Lennox
May 700:57:36Tap to summarizeJohn Lennox came to worldwide attention and renown through debating the likes of famous atheists Dawkins and Hitchens, but less well known is his work behind the Iron Curtain, which impacted millions in its own right. At 82-years-old now, he’s still managed to come out with two books this year alone, including his autobiography. His is a high-profile life well-lived indeed, free from any whiff of scandal; humble, gracious, laser-focused, it’s wonderful to listen to this wise old hero of the faith looking back and readying himself to meet his Maker.▶️ Watch this as a video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/pJuRm0w3Rl4Check out www.johnlennox.org to see his debates with Dawkins et al, or buy his books, including his recently-released autobiography ‘John C.

The Power and the Glory | Arthur White
Apr 1600:57:10Tap to summarizeArthur White had it all - a great wife, healthy kids, a successful business, a villa in Spain - as well as being four-time World Powerlifting Champion. But when someone handed him a pill in the gym to speed his recovery, it was a slippery slope to addiction, infidelity, and losing it all. By all accounts, he should be long dead, but three decades after a remarkable encounter, he’s still fighting fit, (re)married to the same woman, and sharing his story far and wide.
