    <description>What is life all about?

Is a Christian, just somebody who goes to worship on a Sunday?  We believe faith doesn't stay locked up in a building, but actually, it's with us throughout our working lives.

We talk to real Christians, real people - People who you may work with every day.  They are from all different backgrounds and we will learn about their faith and how that plays out in the rest of their life.</description>

        <![CDATA[<p>What does real courage look like when the storm hits? In this episode, we explore faith under pressure through the story of Peter walking on water, before sitting down with Dr. Nadim Nasar — founder of the Awareness Foundation and one of the UK’s leading voices on interfaith dialogue and peacebuilding.</p><p>Dr. Nasar shares his journey from growing up by the Mediterranean in Syria to working with children in war zones, his belief that dialogue must happen “between enemies,” and why diversity is not a problem to solve but part of God’s design. We also dive into big ideas on God, time, and even quantum physics — and what they might teach us about how we live, learn, and use knowledge today.</p><p>A powerful conversation about courage, reconciliation, and choosing peace in a divided world.</p>]]>
