Pastor Mick Fleming
Roy interviews reformed drug dealer Mick Fleming - now Pastor Mick Fleming - following the release of his autobiography, Blown Away: From Drug Dealer to Life Bringer.
Today's guest is widely recognised for his hands-on ministry to people in need. During the lockdowns of the pandemic, when many churches in his home community of Burnley in Lancashire closed their doors, he offered βChurch on the Streetβ; and it attracted wide media attention. Pastor Mick Fleming had previously spent decades in a life marked by hard crime and addiction. On the verge of an illegal operation, a spiritual encounter began a challenging journey: confronting past trauma and addictions, finding a new beginning with God and being called to ministry. Now, on the streets where he previously dealt drugs, he runs a network delivering hot meals, food parcels and clothing to the most vulnerable across the North West, as well as offering spiritual nourishment through weekly worship, and many other community services. His work has prompted a visit from the now Prince and Princess of Wales, and heβs just published his autobiography. Plans are also reportedly afoot for a television series based on his life story.
