If you thought Jesus Culture was just a band then think again. It's actually a global movement with a mission to "awaken hearts to worship and demonstrate the love and power of God". In this in depth interview, the group's founder Banning Liebscher explains how Jesus Culture was birthed out of Bethel Church's youth group. When the worship band's cover of 'How He Loves' was (illegally!) uploaded to YouTube, their music suddenly went viral. Today, the band continue to release songs which impact the global Church and Banning laughs as he recalls often being mistaken for the soundguy. In sharing his message for the UK Church, he also explains why he's so optimistic about the future of Christianity in Europe.

As the daughter of Billy Graham, Anne Graham Lotz grew up in a devoutly Christian family. In this in depth interview, she tells Charmaine Noble-Mclean how her faith has grown and changed since the early days. Her late father once called her "the best preacher in the family", but Anne says she doesn't view herself as "exceptional" but aims to simply take life one day at a time.

It's thanks to an "annoying Christian girl" who kept pestering Tim Chaddick to go to a Christian event that the now pastor is where he is. The teenager drove two hours to San Jose - a city the Los Angeles based Chaddick "hated" to see a Christian band he also "hated". But everything changed when the gospel was preached. "I was undone. I was weeping...I knew in that moment Christ had paid for all of my sins". In this in depth interview with Sam Hailes, Tim shares his testimony in full, explains why he's so committed to church planting and reflects on the differences and similarities between ministry in the USA and the UK.

Christian pastor, teacher and scholar Dr John Andrews was enjoying what he describes as "a blessed life". The popular speaker and author was ministering across the world and pioneering churches in the UK. "You want to believe in God's blessing and prosperity and everything is going to be good," he says, adding "And we had a very blessed life." But in May 2015 everything "dramatically changed" when John's son was arrested and charged with a serious crime. In this in depth interview, John opens up about the worst moments in his family life and how God brought them through the other side. In talking about both the high points and low moments in his ministry John also answers questions about how Christians should engage with scripture, the unique challenges of pastoring small congregations and why there's a time to be honest and admit that God's plan doesn't make sense to us.
