We had an older lady, she was a prostitute for years and years and years.

Then she came to face, got a new address, and after a month or something, she got a letter.

She didn't have a post address for 20 or 30 years.

She came crying with this letter and said, this letter is from my son.

When she was a prostitute, she was pregnant,

and she gave the child away.

And he wrote a letter and said,

Mom, I'm looking for you, I hope you are fine.

You know, I became a Christian

and I want to share the gospel with you.

Oh, beautiful.

It was a reunion.

You cannot imagine what happened.

It was. Wow. Fabulous.

Welcome everybody. This is Simon Gilbo with Inspired. Great to be back for another fantastic week of encouragement.

If you're new to us, Inspired is all about meeting different mates of mine from the whole range of life experience who've, you know,

had some sucker punches who've overcome and you'll find out what the shared commonality is

in all of that. But it's basically to counter out the fact that we were relentlessly bombarded

by negativity in the press. And it's just so bleak the narrative we hear. It just induces

fear and anxiety and depression and cynicism.

And so this counteracts it and I love it how fruitful it is because I think basically we need good news and no doubt about it.

Now, if I could take you back to 1995, I was doing a degree at Loughbury University in modern European studies, which was French, German and politics.
