Stories

Debt - Part One

Josie d'Arby meets Naomi and Perry, a couple for whom the pressures of life - and raising a young family - pushed them into debt. Through the actions of national charity Christians Against Poverty, they were put back on their feet and are now debt-free. The values of the charity have had a long lasting impact and the couple are now members of a church, where Naomi leads the worship.Β 

Cathedral Fitness

Personal trainer, Jordan De Leon, runs 'Faith and Fitness', a workout session at Chelmsford Cathedral that combines a workout with worshipping God.


Orthodox Mini-Chapel

Former Church of England priest Father Stephen Weston has built a church in the garden of his own home. This little chapel is now fully recognised by the Orthodox Church as a place of worship and in 2011 Father Stephen was ordained an Orthodox priest.

Debt - Part Two

Josie meets young members of the Pentecostal Credit Union who attend Moneywise workshops, and have produced a rap video called Gimme Dat, which teachers their peers about the principles of managing money. Josie hears from Elaine Bowes, leader of the workshops, and the young people themselves, about what they're learning.Β
