Faith with Haith

A total delight to interview one of my favourite songwriters. I've often been in the crowd enjoying the music of  "Delirious?" and many of Martin's songs have deepened my faith over many years. This is your chance to get to know the great man behind the great music just a little bit more.

You will never meet a more intelligent,  insightful and courageous journalist, and a more balanced, nuanced and compassionate Christian, than Peter Wehner. We got to know each other when I was leading a church just outside DC: every coffee and every lunch was a meeting of both minds and hearts. If you, like me, are struggling to understand what is going on in America, in politics and in the church, then listen in now.

This week I interview Charlie Groves, one of the finest men, and finest musicians, alive. The "Faith with Haith" podcast has always been about real faith and real life, and this episode is no different. In our conversation Charlie opens up about his real life, focusing in on what it is to be the father of a son with autism, all the highs and all the lows, and how love conquers all.

Fast becoming one of the best-known vicars in the UK, Pat took to the streets during the first lockdown to help bring light in the darkness. With a hymn, a prayer and a quality sound system, he showed London that God is very much with us, even if we have to keep the church doors closed....and he only got unplugged once! Listen in now to hear how Pat's faith has developed over the years to give him such love for people today.

Everyone’s story is so different. We all see this thing called life from such diverse angles and we all appreciate God and spirituality in such varied ways. But, within those differences, there are fundamental similarities that make us all the same; profound truths that bind us all together. This week's guest, executive coach Audrey Wiggin, has seen it all: tragedy, sadness and stress...love, hope and success. Having worked for many years in the high-octane, male-dominated world of finance she retrained as a coach. Listen in now and be inspired by her faith journey as she sets about running her own business alongside lockdown motherhood.

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but the presence of faith"

When his A-6 Intruder aircraft was shot down over North Vietnam on May 19, 1967, Red was captured and spent six agonizing years as a POW in the infamous “Hanoi Hilton” prison. In the face of unrelenting barbaric and sadistic torture, McDaniel remained a source of hope and strength for his fellow POWs by clinging to his faith in even the darkest of hours. 

"The one thing they could not take from me was my faith" says Red. "There were many times in my lonely cell when my victories were known only by me and God.”

 For three years, Red was listed as Missing in Action while his wife, Dorothy, and three children, did not know if he was dead or alive. In 1970, the Hanoi government finally acknowledged that McDaniel was being held prisoner. After six years in captivity as a POW, he was released on March 4, 1973.

Recorded live in Washington DC in May 2017, this is their story.

It's time for those New Year's resolutions. What will yours be? I have a hunch that many of you that listen to this podcast have a creative urge and your desire is to make that come to life this year as never before. I also believe that for some of you there is a major career change coming. My guest this week is a man who is a living example of both of those things. It took courage and it took faith. But "Keeping Faith" is what Matthew Hall has done, so very well.

What a complete delight to welcome back two of my oldest and dearest friends: Busky and Lorne were a hit when we did our first podcast together right at the start of "Faith with Haith".
Listen in now to hear (not much) profundity and (quite a lot of) silliness.
Happy Christmas!

Ever wondered how a top male model becomes a priest? Yeah, probably not...but it's a great story, and my guest this week is both a great man and great friend. Download now to listen to the life story of the brilliant Reverend Ash Meaney.

It is my absolute delight to introduce to you one of my greatest heroes, Mary Wallis, and on the day of her 80th birthday! When you see Mary you see a lifetime of kindness: 40 years as a nurse at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Then she retired...and immediately set about volunteering there, which she has done for the last 14 years! Tune in now to hear what it is to devote yourself to a life of love and service.
