It’s time to ‘open up’ now – the place where we trade stories from our life’s wealth of experiences, highlights and challenges.
Today I want to find out about how the experiences of your childhood have made you the person you are today.
We heard from David Busseau – and how growing up as an orphan spurred him into becoming an entrepreneur, firstly in the construction industry, but then ultimately to help others through his inventive micro-finance scheme.
We’ll be speaking to Graham Clarke in a few weeks’ time – his father was deaf, but Graham went on to invent the cochlear implant to make listening for deaf people – including his father - possible.
Speaking from my own life, I know that the involvement of my parents in one of the world’s better known cults – has made me seek after the truth and constantly challenge what I believe and why.
What are the childhood experiences that have made you the adult you are today?
What are the defining circumstances of your childhood - that influenced what you went on to do with your life?/still influence what you do today?

Hello Sheridan,
In my mid to late teens, my family went through a couple of experiences that changed our lives forever. I won't go into specifics here, but will say that at a personal level, part of the outcome of these experiences was that it has given me, at least to some extent, compassion for others. Amongst other things, I can certainly testify to the fact that God can use such things to build our character and make us stronger, but only if we let Him.
