This week on the From Day Three Podcast, Emmanuel sits down with Munyaradzi—a fellow dad he met on the school playground—for a powerful and deeply personal conversation.

Munya shares his story of growing up in Zimbabwe, navigating his parents’ separation as a child, and encountering Jesus at just 9 years old through the impact of Scripture Union. From being sent to boarding school to wrestling with feelings of rejection and deep pain, he opens up about the moments that shaped him.

In one life-changing encounter, Munya describes seeing a vision of the cross and hearing Jesus speak over him: “You are wanted, useful, and enough.”

He also shares the early vision for City on a Hill—a ministry he’s building with a heart to equip people in discipleship—and his belief that revival is coming. Not centred on one person, but through the Church as a whole, as people return to the basics: reading the Word and prayer.

This is a conversation about identity, healing, calling, and the quiet work of God preparing hearts for what’s to come.

This week on the From Day Three Podcast, Emmanuel is joined by Gregory Hill for a real, honest, and powerful conversation about faith, identity, and transformation.

Gregg shares openly about his upbringing—growing up in a ministry household with a father who is a Bishop and a mother who is a Priest—and the unique pressures that come with being a Pastor’s Kid. From experiences of bullying to a season of rebellion as a teenager, he takes us through the journey of drifting away from faith and what it took to come back.

After a powerful encounter at Luminosity, Gregg recommitted his life to Jesus—and felt led to take a bold and humbling step. He sent a WhatsApp broadcast to everyone in his phone saying: “Sorry if I’ve treated you badly, I’ve come to Christ and I hope you can see that in me now.”

In this episode, Emmanuel and Gregg also reflect on their shared experiences as PKs, the challenge of making faith personal, a deep passion for worship, and a heart for local mission.

This is a conversation for anyone navigating faith beyond expectations—and choosing to follow Jesus for themselves.

In this episode, host Emmanuel is joined by Amy Dawson as co-host as they sit down with Ehimare Itua — also known as Ace, and by his artist name Soul Ink, a gospel rapper and spoken word artist.

Ehimare shares openly about being born into Nigerian heritage and raised in the church, with his mother serving as a pastor. Despite that foundation, he talks honestly about a season where he drifted from his faith, exploring new age beliefs influenced by voices like Jaden Smith and Willow Smith. He reflects on how that path led him into a dark place, shaping choices and behaviours he knew weren’t right.

The conversation explores what it looked like for him to come back to faith—not just because he grew up around it, but because he knew God was real. From there, he began a journey of genuinely learning to love God, something he shares is still ongoing.

Ehimare also speaks on his passion for music, expressing himself through gospel rap and spoken word, rooted in his deep love for poetry. He highlights the real influence of the music we listen to and share, and how it can shape our mindset, behaviour, and spiritual direction.

As Soul Ink, his heart is to evangelise through his music, staying open and obedient to wherever God leads him.

This is a real, reflective, and faith-filled episode about influence, identity, and finding your way back to God.

In this episode, Emmanuel, Joel, and Amy come together to share the heart behind From Day Three and reflect on the journey so far.

Over the past four months, what started as a simple step of faith has grown into a space where real stories have been shared, lives have been poured out, and people have been impacted in ways we couldn’t have imagined.

This conversation looks back on some of those moments, the lessons learned, and what God has been doing through it all.

Emmanuel closes the episode with a short word based on Luke 24:5 — “Why do you look for the living among the dead?” — encouraging us to fix our eyes on Jesus and continue to live from Day Three… from resurrection life.

The episode ends with a powerful spoken word piece, Risen by Sanjay Parmer, inspired by that same truth.

This feels like a new beginning.

The last four months were just the pilot — the prequel to what’s to come.

In this episode, host Emmanuel sits down with Sam Carter — husband, father, youth worker, and aspiring vicar in the Church of England.

Sam shares about his upbringing and the challenges of moving from America to the UK, opening up about a season of rebellion where he found himself surrounded by drinking, drugs, and house parties. He reflects on how an Alpha course and the intentional investment of a youth leader became a turning point, leading him to give his life to Jesus at New Wine Conference.

The conversation explores how his calling shifted toward youth work, the impact of having a spiritual father, and the years he spent pouring into young people.

Sam also shares honestly about grief after losing his father, and the weight of recently opening up to his mum about his past.

This is a powerful episode about transformation, calling, and the faithfulness of God through every season.

In this episode, host Emmanuel sits down with Rob Colwell — evangelist, missionary kid, and passionate follower of Jesus.

Rob shares about being born in Turkey before moving to England as a child, growing up loving Jesus and inviting others to church from a young age. He also opens up about his hidden struggles with pornography and self-harm, and the journey toward freedom.

A key turning point came at university through discipleship, helping him step into honesty, healing, and deeper faith. From there, his heart for mission grew through time spent serving overseas, including a season learning under Jackie Pullinger.

Now part of Fusion Movement, Rob is passionate about sharing the gospel and reaching people for Jesus wherever he goes.

This is a powerful episode about freedom, discipleship, and living boldly for the gospel.

Coming Up:

Fusion Gathering 2026: 12-13 June, One Church Leicester

In this episode, host Emmanuel is joined by Meg Warren as co-host as they sit down with Priya Parmar — trainee teacher, theology enthusiast, and passionate follower of Jesus.

Priya shares about growing up in an Indian Christian family and how her upbringing shaped her understanding of faith and identity. She reflects on the powerful impact of seeing people in the Bible who looked like her, and how that representation helped her connect more deeply with Scripture and her place within God’s story.

The conversation explores Priya’s passion for theology and her heart to see women flourish in theological spaces, while also advocating for people of colour to be better represented and heard within the Church.

Priya also opens up honestly about her struggles with mental health and the ways God has met her in those difficult seasons, bringing comfort, strength, and hope when she needed it most.

As a trainee teacher with a heart for the next generation, Priya shares her passion for sharing the gospel and living out her faith in everyday life, seeking to point people to Jesus wherever she finds herself.

This is an honest, thoughtful, and encouraging episode about identity, representation, perseverance, and trusting God through every season.

In this episode, host Emmanuel sits down with Ayo also known as Seyi Israel — worship leader, music artist, and founder of the ministry Worship Tribe.

Ayo shares powerful stories from his upbringing in Nigeria, reflecting on how his early experiences shaped both his faith and calling. From organising crusades with friends to witnessing moments of spiritual confrontation — including a witch turning up to a crusade — Ayo recounts how those moments strengthened his conviction in the power of God.

Although Ayo once believed he was called to be a preacher, he opens up about how God redirected his path towards worship leading. He speaks honestly about the difficult seasons that followed — including the disappointment of later crusades not drawing the same crowds, leaving him feeling discouraged and ready to give up. Yet it was in that low place that God met him, spoke to him, and renewed his calling.

This is a powerful and faith-building episode about calling, perseverance, spiritual encounters, and learning to stay rooted in God even when the journey looks different than expected.

In this episode, host Emmanuel is joined by Meg Warren as co-host as they sit down with Zak McConnochie. A volleyball player, content creator, and passionate follower of Jesus.

Zak shares honestly about growing up in a Christian home, but only truly making his faith his own after encountering God at a youth festival called DTI. He reflects on the powerful role Christian festivals can play in igniting faith, while also emphasising the importance of consistent discipleship once the moment has passed.

The conversation explores Zak’s love for sport and how volleyball has shaped his discipline and character, while making it clear that his love for Jesus always comes first. Zak opens up about trusting God with decisions he didn’t want to make, and how obedience — even when uncomfortable — led to gratitude, growth, and deeper faith.

As he prepares to embark on a mission trip to Japan, Zak shares his heart for evangelism and his passion to use his platforms to spread the love of Jesus to everyone he encounters.

This is an honest, faith-filled, and encouraging episode about obedience, purpose, and choosing Jesus above all else.
