Off Grid Christianity – Episode 147 - Howard Satterthwaite
Howard was a Barrister and then the leader at Westminster Chapel for seven years before stepping away from this role mainly due to exhaustion. Why did his poem go viral? He is a published author of Hold On To Hope. Why did he go to Kansas on a placement and deal in laws regarding the death penalty? What was it like to be under so much stress as a pastor and what does he think looking back at this time now? Why didn’t he give up on his faith and what has he learned? What is Kintsugi Hope? Another enthralling, encouraging yet challenging podcast. www.howardandholly.com www.kintsugihope.com Hello to Kerry Livgren
Off Grid Christianity is a podcast for Christians who feel disconnected from Church…whether they attend one or not!
Those 5 Starter Questions and Christian Hero.
This shortened episode features the 5 questions I ask every guest at the start of every podcast. I finish every episode by asking them who their christian hero is. The former BBC NI Political commentator and all round good egg Martina Purdy, turns the table and asks me the questions. Many have asked what my answers would be so here they are!
Meet Your Host
Martin Purnell
Hosted by Martin Purnell, former ‘Drivetime’ presenter on the UK’s first FM Christian Radio station, ‘Cross Rhythms City’, in Stoke-on-Trent. Martin also pioneered the legendary lunchtime discussion programme ‘The Soapbox’ on national Christian radio station ‘UCB’.
In recent years, Martin took a step back from direct involvement in broadcasting to focus on family life in his adopted home of Northern Ireland. However, throughout that time, the concept behind OGC has been developing on the ‘back burner’ and Access Radio is excited to bring that to fruition, through this regular podcast.
In August 2025, Martin was interviewed by Randy Morocco of the USA for his Facebook page. Randy wanted to know more about the Off Grid Christianity podcasts plus a bit more about Martin. What has he learned from over 100 episodes and what are Martin’s favourites? Have any recordings not been released? A copy of this podcast can be found here.
