Hear the hippy conversion story of psychedelic 60s rocker Barry McGuire, find out what tennis champ Michael Chang is up to these days, take another listen to our chilling chat with Canon Andrew White, the ‘Vicar of Bhagdad’, and discover the locations of the happiest places on earth!

Tune in for another listen to the amazing story of Steve Saint. His missionary father was killed by Auca Indians in Ecuador. Today Steve is best friends with his father’s killer. It’s a tremendous story of radical forgiveness. Plus Shelley Gare on why contemporary culture is ‘dumbing down’, and author Dallas Willard on getting our hearts spiritually renovated.
