Wheelchair Warrior! | Linda Bridges
Rape, suicide, freemasonry, demon-possession, paralysis, and more… Sometimes it’s hard to believe what people can have gone through. And yet despite all the knocks, Linda’s story is one of radiant hope and vibrant joy, as she takes to the streets of Southampton in her wheelchair to love folks who have fallen through the cracks. I was left shaking my head in wonder and astonishment at her resilience and God’s grace once I reluctantly brought the interview to an end.

Filthy Rich! | Manoj Raithatha
At one stage, Manoj Raithatha had a huge portfolio with contracts signed on £330million of property - but he wasn’t satisfied, and he had become heartless and ruthless in equal measure. Then came the crash of 2008, plus the life of his son threatened, and his world imploded. And so began his journey to redemption… It’s a great story!Manoj’s story is told in his book ‘Filthy Rich: How the Property Crash Saved my Life’ which you can buy via Instant Apostle ---🙏 Join our Saturday Prayer for Burundi: greatlakesoutreach.org/zoom ❤️ Support our work in Burundi: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspired ---🔔 Remember to follow us wherever you listen.▶️ Subscribe to us on YouTube📸 Follow us on Instagram: @inspiredwith.sg📲 Weekly episode WhatsApp link: greatlakesoutreach.org/whatsapp📧 Weekly email notification: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspiredemailFor more from Simon, visit: simonguillebaud.com---🌍 Produced by Great Lakes Outreach - Transforming Burundi & Beyond: greatlakesoutreach.org

Living Love in Living Hell | Dave Eubank
Former US Army Special Forces officer Dave Eubank tells of multiple near-death experiences as he risks life and limb across a number of nations - training teams to resist the military dictatorship in Myanmar, fighting against ISIS in Mosul, and also providing emergency relief and intervention in other desperately grim hotspots around the globe.

Revival Ready | Steve Uppal
Steve Uppal began his own radical and fruitful youth group in the living room as a 13-year-old before graduating through the ranks over the years to senior pastor of a multisite thriving church. But in 2020 he heard God’s gentle corrective whisper: “You’re not fit for purpose. You’re making consumers, not disciples.” Ouch! This led to a significant and costly reappraisal of the metrics of ‘success’.
