Salt – Conversations with Amy

This episode Jenny Salt talks to a woman who took the good news to a country where the gospel has grown old and stale. Kelly Landrigan grew up in a fibro house in working-class Sydney. Her family went to church regularly, learning about rules to please God that she could never keep. But hearing the gospel, and understanding grace, took her on a journey to deepest, darkest France.

Alick Arkapaw has a deep love of sport and a 'tell it like it is' attitude.  He grew up in an Australia that is fast fading away.

Jenny's guest this episode is Tamar Pollard. You won't have necessarily heard her name before, but if you were living in the UK in 1997 you would have seen photos of her family on the front page of every newspaper.  And the headlines would have included words like 'murder' and 'tragedy'. Tamar's story is one that does include details of horrific circumstances.  But it's also a story of incredible faith and a journey of forgiveness that will take your breath away.

Welcome to the start of Season 9 of Salt, and our 100th episode! This time around Jenny Salt is speaking with Amy Townsend, a person whose path to God was literally a dramatic one. Amy grew up loving to perform, dance and being involved in drama. She loved musical theatre and everything involving a microphone and an audience.
