New four-part web series exploring the faith journeys of Christian leaders

 

Faith in Focus: Honest conversations and real-life stories of following Jesus, is out now.

 

This new four-part web series, produced by the Evangelical Alliance and hosted by former BBC correspondent and Evangelical Alliance editor Nicola Morrison, explores the lives of faith leaders – the highs, the lows and everything in between.

 

Across 20-minute episodes, guests reflect on their early years, their journeys to faith and the many twists and turns that ultimately led them to Jesus.

 

Inspired by Nicola’s own story, shared in her 2024 autobiography, and the many stories she has had the privilege of hearing during her time as editor at the Evangelical Alliance, Faith in Focus, seeks to share powerful and honest accounts of faith that encourage, inspire and remind viewers they are not alone.

 

The series explores raw and honest conversations around atheism, disbelief, trauma, grief, ministry, family, marriage and much more.

 

Nicola Morrison said of the web series: “When I was in a dark place, I was often encouraged by the stories of other Christians. Those stories encouraged my spirit, helped me feel seen and reminded me that Jesus loved me and hadn’t abandoned me. I wanted to do the same for others with this web series, creating a platform where amazing men and women of God could share their honest and transparent faith journeys – stories that are relatable, inspiring and refreshing.”

 

Director of communications and engagement at the Evangelical Alliance, Theresa Stone said: "The power of sharing good and true stories as part of our evangelical mission to make Jesus known is not to be underestimated. 

We are pleased to be able to share four moving interviews from faith leaders within the Evangelical Alliance membership, who bravely share their personal journeys to cultivating deeper faith. We pray that as people listen to these faith journeys, they will be both encouraged and inspired to share their own faith with others."

 

Guests include:

Steve Uppal – Senior leader of All Nations

Natalie Williams – CEO of Jubilee+

Alisa Latty-Alleyne – Former UK director of CBN and co-founder of Hebrews Eleven

and Mark Holden – Church leader and author of Surviving a Stabbing
