| 0:00.0 | Welcome, everybody. This is Simon Gilberth inspired. Great to you back with another episode where you're going to be encouraged and stirred and challenge. |
| 0:14.0 | And this week I've got no doubt you're going to be inspired because we got with us the great, the legendary. |
| 0:19.0 | No, we don't. This week it's going to be a little different |
| 0:21.8 | because this week is the 250th episode and so we're going to celebrate that by revisiting a few of |
| 0:28.6 | the old podcast that you might have missed if you're a more recent joiner some stunning stories from |
| 0:34.2 | yesterday year that will absolutely stir your cockles. I've got no doubts about that. |
| 0:39.6 | It was April 2021. We're coming out of several lockdowns, weren't we? And the world's got such a |

| 1:37.1 | coming out of the care system or refugees, all sorts. Anyway, the result of that podcast, |
| 1:42.8 | at the very start, the very first other person |
| 1:45.2 | on the podcast, if you like, was that four houses were donated. And I was like, God, thank you. |
| 1:50.0 | Your blessing is so on this project. Incidentally, someone in my church, and we've only small church, |
| 1:54.5 | about 60 of us, Rob listened to the podcast. And he got excited about Hope Into Action. And |
| 1:58.8 | us little church that we are, we've now, five years on, we've got three of those houses |
