The Bookshop Moment That Restored a Broken Faith

A quiet Christmas walk-and-talk about finding light when life feels dark. ❄️
Filmed outside King’s Lynn Minster, this episode is an open, unpolished conversation with my good friend Adam, who works in victim support within policing. Together we explore what Christmas really represents when you’re carrying grief, burnout, doubt, or disappointment — and how faith can sometimes return after anger, confusion, or feeling completely lost.
🎅 What you’ll hear:
Adam shares powerful personal experiences: supporting victims of serious violence, living with neurodiversity, losing and rediscovering faith, and the moments that changed the direction of his life. We talk honestly about Christianity, doubt, spiritual struggle, forgiveness, ego, organised religion, and why belief is ultimately deeply personal. 🎄
This isn’t about preaching or persuading. It’s about sitting with hard questions, making space for honesty, and offering a bit of hope to anyone who’s quietly searching, questioning, or struggling to feel less alone this Christmas. 🎄✨
🎄 Merry Christmas, and thank you for walking with us.
❄️ May this bring you a little peace, light, and hope this Christmas. ❄️
