Create windows and give gospel gifts

In today’s episode we speak to Paul Mallard about spending Christmas with friends or family who aren’t Christians, especially children who have walked away. Paul served as a pastor for 40 years in three different churches. He now works as Director for the West Midlands for the FIEC (Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches, UK), supporting churches and their leaders across the region. He’s the author of several books, including Invest Your Disappointments and Heaven: Living with Eternity in View. He and his wife Edrie have four children and nine grandchildren. Apologies that Paul’s audio isn’t totally clear in this episode, we have improvements to audio quality planned for the new season.
