  • God is universal

    I write this due to the misuse and abuse of a song title inappropriately used to justify a viewpoint online. Christians are all over the world not just in the UK. I am sure the podcasts are interesting but perhaps one might want to review a title regarding Brexit. Also the song title used is from someone based in the USA???

  • Edward Stourton

    A lively and deeply informative interview about the nature of impartial broadcasting with one of my preferred Sunday broadcasters. Well posed questions which effectively drew out the inner layers of the guest’s thinking and Christian standards.

  • Great and Hopeful Podcast

    Hello from Australia! I’ve found this podcast to be very hopeful and inspiring. Hearing the stories and testimonies of people who have followed Jesus and have lived out the Bible has made me think about my own journey of faith. Not only that, but it gave me time to relax and not think “theologically” or “intellectually”, but to just listen to a conversation from someone with a Christian perspective. Really great, thank you Premier Christianity!

  • Archbishop Stephen

    Wonderful interview by Sam with the new Archbishop. What a warm and inspirational character. Thank God for calling people like him to the “higher offices.” Martin (In Barnsley)

    Great interview by Sam with Peter Hitchens. Why is Sam not taking over from Justin on Unbelievable? ( not that I’m not enjoying the guest moderated shows)

Dr Francis Collins the Christian scientist who worked on the Covid-19 vaccine and the human genome
Q: How did you look after yourself when there was so much pressure on you and your team?
