Tricia and I interviewed by Chris Cole for his 'Art of Living' show on Cross Rhythms Plymouth. We talk about our early life together in Plymouth, becoming accidental worship leaders, songwriting, poetry, living with Muslim and New Age neighbours and lots more..... This podcast also features short clips of our songs: Still Dreaming In The Forever Travellers Find The Way Together Leaning on the everlasting arms

In 1986, I saw the video of Queen performing 'We Are The Champions' at London's Wembley Stadium in front of 70,000 adoring fans. That moment and that video changed the direction of my life forever. I embarked on a journey to see stadiums filled with worship.  This is the story behind our worship event, 'Champion of the World' at Wembley Stadium in 1997 and what followed after......

In this podcast I share the story behind the very first worship song I ever wrote.

Prophecy is an important gift for the Church and all those in it. Over the years, many people have prophesied to me that "God will give me songs in the night!" This humorous podcast looks at the way it worked out.

It is so easy to regard other Christian denominations as inferior to our own. To think we are closer to the truth than others. We can also have an 'us and them' attitude to people of other faiths. In this podcast I talk about how life experiences have taught me to see those who are different as friends, rather than enemies. This podcast concludes with our song 'We Need To Love'.

It seems that there is an increase in faith-based TV shows and movies, coming out of Hollywood. In this podcast, I reflect on the trend and suggest a sequel idea for the Jesus Revolution movie. All I need now is a screenwriter.....

In this podcast we talk about our journey over several decades, transitioning from writing songs about God, to writing songs to God. Reflecting on the influences of early Christian artists such as Keith Green, Andre Crouch, Love Song and many others. The mainstream artists such as Cat Stevens, George Harrison and others, whose spiritual songs impacted us. What we have experienced as we have led worship throughout the USA, Canada, UK and Europe. What we are seeing right now and our thoughts about how we may worship in the future....

The movie 'Jesus Revolution' recalls those exciting days at the beginning of the Jesus Movement, that swept through California, the USA and beyond.  Sadly, I discovered a generation later, that the radical, revolutionary edge had disappeared from the denomination where it all started. This podcast asks if we truly want the inconvenience and disruption that a new 'Jesus Revolution' will bring to our churches.

The past 50 years has seen the exponential growth of the contemporary worship movement and brought the Church new songs and hymns. The songs of our generation were radical and prophetic when first written. But it is easy to settle for these past blessings and the hymnology that we are comfortable with. In this podcast we reflect on our own experiences of songs and worship. Are we still moving forward, embracing what God is doing now, with new songs that reflect this. Is our worship still prophetic, or has it become nostalgic?

The coronation of King Charles is happening in the UK and a US Presidential election is just around the corner. Wayne Drain and Noel Richards talk about their attitude toward those who 'reign over us'.

In a multi-faith, multi-cultural society such as the UK, should the monarch still be the 'Defender of the Faith'? Or, should the oath at King Charles' upcoming coronation, be changed to 'Defender of Faiths'? What do you think? Please leave a comment.

Martin Scott and I return for another 'Off Grid Christianity' special podcast, hosted by Martin Purnell. Not only do we do battle in an Easter (loosely) themed quiz, but we answer topical Easter questions as well. Such as - Did Jesus have to die on the cross? Did Judas go to Heaven? Was the Last Supper meal like a Doner Kebab? What is a Hot Cross Slider? All these questions and more are answered in this podcast. I also provide the music with three of my Easter songs.

Over the course of my life, I have played in so many wonderful venues around the world; including famous concert halls, arenas and stadiums. But in this podcast, I talk about the one place in the world where I have led worship, that means more to me than any of those. I also talk about how we wrote our Easter song 'He Has Risen' and include the recording of it at London's Wembley Stadium. This podcast is an excerpt from the 'Off Grid Christianity' Easter Special hosted by Martin Purnell and also featuring Martin Scott. In the full length podcast Martin Scott and I do battle in an Easter (loosely) themed quiz, but answer topical Easter questions as well. Did Jesus have to die on the cross? Did Judas go to Heaven? Was the Last Supper meal like a Doner Kebab? What is a Hot Cross Slider? All these questions and more are answered in this podcast.

Jesus' first miracle was turning water into wine at a wedding celebration. He made rather a large quantity of it.  If you invite Jesus to your party, he gives a whole new meaning to the phrase 'bring a bottle'!!

What I did when I felt that my life was in danger at a major prayer event in New York city.

My response to a situation when someone arrived at our worship event believing that they were the Holy Spirit.

What happens when we 'feel led' to take more time than we have been given, when leading worship. We may believe the Holy Spirit is taking us in a certain direction. However, it creates problems for others, particularly those who are leading a church meeting or event.

The story of how the mermaids in the Beachcomber Bar at Butlins Minehead, were covered up during the Spring Harvest Christian Event, so as not to cause offence. However, my band had other ideas........

This trailer tells you a little about what you can expect when listening to  my podcast series - "Confessions of a Worship Leader". It features a short clip from my first podcast - "Is The Second Coming Coming?".
