Norman Polden (station manager, Flame CCR) takes the opportunity to testify to God's goodness in helping him through sudden traumatic disability in February 2018. King & Country's music track "JOY" echoes in Norman's mind and in this short audio track as he reflects on James 1 "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything".

Now in January 2024, 6 years on from this traumatic event, Norman is still actively managing Flame CCR (Christian and Community Radio) and enjoying life at home in Greasby, Wirral.
