Off Grid Christianity – Another chance to hear the special episodes, released weekly during the summer holidays. A brand new season will commence on 5th September. This week’s special episode features Prayer And Mental Health with…
PETER MOCKFORD. Peter has a Masters in Integrative Psychotherapy and holds full clinical membership of the United Kingdom Council of Psychotherapy (UKCP). He has been practising for 18 years and is currently a consultant for and vice chairman of the Churches Ministerial Counselling Service. He used to be a vicar for over 30 years in Staffordshire and is used to dealing with the interaction between faith and well being. Peter’s a qualified supervisor in Pastoral supervision and Reflective practice. Peter contacted me (see also Episode 1) two years ago, in 2023, as he wanted to discuss Prayer and Mental Health. I suggested there should be an alternative title, I Can’t have Mental Health Issues As I’m A Christian! Since this podcast release, I have been made aware of how it was used in home groups for learning and then as a tool for discussion afterwards. Please feel free to share the link to as many people in your church and also to your friends. Once you have heard this podcast, you will know why I would like you to share the link. Thank you. Another special podcast will be released next week.
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.
Martin was interviewed by Roger Jones which was broadcast Wednesday 5th March 2025 on www.brumsideradio.com broadcasting worldwide; on DAB and also on a smart speaker. You will also be able to access it afterwards on his website www.cmm.org.uk under Heart and Soul or use this link…
