Introducing ReSource’s new podcast…

Beyond the Happy Clappy is our new podcast about the past, present and future of charismatic renewal. Each episode features an interview with a leading figure from that move of God that changed the UK church so profoundly from the 1960s onwards.

Our three hosts are Christopher Landau (Director of ReSource), Eleanor Jeans (Associate Vicar at St Paul's Church, Leamington Spa and ReSource trustee) and Andy Crook (curate in Stockport and Brinnington and PhD researcher on the history of charismatic renewal). They will reflect on the lessons that recent history has for the life and mission of the church today – celebrating what was good, and also reflecting on problems and failures along the way.

Episode 5 features David and John Hughes, identical twins, who both left careers in banking for ordained ministry after a defining whole night of prayer at their home church in Gillingham, Kent. Both men went on to lead several thriving Anglican churches around the UK, and in this interview they reflect on their inspiration and some key stories from those churches.

Series 1 is released weekly on Sundays from 8th June: you can listen on all major podcasting platforms, or via www.resourcingrenewal.org/podcast.
