Prayer is meant to be the heartbeat of the Christian life, a place of intimacy, dependence, and joy in God. But what do we do when our prayer life feels dry, distant, or even dead? In this episode, host Paul Thompson sits down with Pastor Pooyan Mehrshahi of Providence Reformed Baptist Chapel (Cheltenham) to talk about rekindling a living, vibrant prayer life. With Scripture as our guide, we explore how the Lord draws near to us in grace, even when we feel weakest, and how true communion with Christ can be restored. If you’re longing to go deeper in prayer, this conversation is for you.

Saint Patrick - Saint Patrick: From Captivity to Legacy – A Journey of Transformation
In this special feature podcast, we dive into the remarkable life and enduring legacy of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Hosted by two of the original 'Peas,' Jim McSorley and Paul Thompson, we explore Saint Patrick’s incredible journey—one that began in captivity and ended in the complete transformation of an island steeped in fear, paganism, and druidism.Saint Patrick’s arrival in Ireland marked a pivotal moment in history. The island was a land of mystery and superstition, where pagan beliefs dominated, and the people lived in the shadow of fear and uncertainty. But through Patrick's courage, compassion, and unwavering faith, he brought a message of hope, love, and redemption that would change Ireland forever. As he spread the gospel, his influence extended far beyond religion, leaving a profound impact on Ireland's culture, education, music, art, and even technology.Join Jim and Paul as they discuss how Saint Patrick’s teachings helped transform Ireland into a beacon of learning and innovation during a time when much of the world was still in the dark ages.
