We just began to pray for her and it's like she was instantly overwhelmed and fell to the floor.

And I'm aware her issue is a broken back and you've just let her fall on the floor, you fool.

You know, what you're doing?

She opens her eyes and she says, all the pain has gone.

And she stood up there and then, she was a little bit shocked shocked six and a half years on the highest pain

medication you can have anyway she said let's go home get me in the car I need to test this

normally they had to drive very gingerly dodging every a pothole and speed bump now she's saying speed up come on stewit hit, hit that pothole there. And nothing, no pain, nothing.

Welcome, everybody. This is Simon Gilbo with Inspired. Inspired if you're new to us. It's all about

meeting people that are doing brilliant stuff. They've got very, very journeys. You know,

I think we've all had enough. And we need to be really guarded in terms of spending

too much time on the 24-7 youth cycle where we just bombarded relentlessly by fear and it just

induces anxiety and depression and cynicism and so we need lashings of good news which you get

every week here on the inspired podcast. And this week I've got no doubt you're going to be inspired because we've got with us the wonderful Jared Cooper. Welcome, Jared. Hey, hey, welcome. Thank you. It's good to see you. It's wonderful to have you. So Jared is a church leader. He's a leader. He's an author. Many of you will have been, I come across him just by singing his song, King of King's Majesty. I'm not

going to butcher it, but you'll, oh, he's singing it. Come on. You'll recognise it from that.

And I just, I'm really excited because God's doing beautiful stuff in and through you, both in

this nation and to the nations. And more recently, what's going on on your patch. So listen, Jared, enough of me.

Give us your background and your faith journey.

Go for it.

So I'm a Welshman.

Born in South Wales, 55 years ago, into a Christian family.

And we were that family that went to church five times on a Sunday, big Pentecostal church in the early 70s.

And I mean, it was beautiful.
