In this week's episode, Carol speaks to Gareth 'Angel' Thompson about the Raise Word "Villain".
Gaz is the Founder of Wrestling Church and GT Ministries, an evangelist, actor, public speaker, ambassador for The First Man Standing campaign with Restored and a pro Wrestler. Married to Beth with 2 girls, Isla and Isabella. Based in Bradford with a real heart to reach the working class with the Gospel.
Gareth describes wrestling as "soap operas for men". At it's core wrestling is story telling, it is entertainment rather than a sport. Launched in April 2022 and based out of Fountains Church in Bradford, there is an evening of worship, teaching and wrestling. From GT Ministries's website it says: "An opportunity for us to create a worshipping community of christians, using the bible and wrestling to shape our faith and personal relationship with Jesus. We build these events around particular bible stories and themes that encourage us to engage with God in a new way, and drive our own discipleship."

Welcome to the Raise Podcast with Carol Barwick. We're here to raise your confidence and inspire your creativity. Each episode, we will have a different guess who will be discussing our Raise Word. The Raise Word is a word that will encourage you or empower you and at times inspire you to explore the word a little more for yourself.
