Join us for an engaging conversation with our guest, Ben Brady, as we explore a variety of topics, from our personal lives to our faith journeys. We chat about our experiences and the paths that have led us to where we are today. Ben shares a funny story about his early aspirations of being an undertaker or a redcoat and how that eventually led him to become a trainee vicar. Listen in as we discuss our time on the Isle of Man and how it has shaped our faith journeys.
In this episode, we also reflect on the faith it took for Adrian to follow his calling to be a vicar and the courage it took to pursue this path. We chat about the northern culture and the significance of the Manchester bombing of 2017, discussing the unity of the city and how it brought people together, regardless of their status, race, or religion. We also touch on the impact it had on Adrian's daughter, who was at the event, and how it has changed her.
Finally, we explore the power of grace and forgiveness. We emphasize the importance of welcoming people back into the church despite the hardships they may have caused. We reflect on Adrian's father's experience of being stabbed by a mentally ill man and how it changed their family dynamics. We consider the difficulty of forgiving in situations like this and how we can balance out forgiveness and our own feelings of hurt. Join us for this thought-provoking and heartfelt conversation with Ben Brady.
