In this gripping episode of The Jesus Studio Podcast, Jem speaks with Fernando, lead pastor of Christchurch Peckham, whose extraordinary life story will leave you speechless. 

Born in a prison to parents battling addiction, Fernando grew up amidst chaos, brokenness, and deep longing for love. From being kicked out of school to serving time in a young offenders’ institution, he was on a path of destruction—until one unexpected moment in a South London drug den changed everything: “Fernando, God loves you and has a plan for your life.” 

What followed was a radical transformation—through rehab in Colombia, encounters with the audible voice of God, and a slow, gritty journey toward healing and purpose. Now a Church of England minister, Fernando leads a growing, vibrant church where lives are being transformed every week. 

This is a story of raw pain, miraculous grace, and unshakable hope. It’s about what happens when God takes someone from rock bottom and builds something beautiful. 

🕊️ Stick around to the end as Fernando prays for anyone feeling hopeless, trapped, or hungry for freedom.
