And week one in my lounge, it was me and 10 of my non-Christian friends, which was great.

And then week two, it was me, Joss, and we had 17 in my front room.

At the end of the alpha, each week we'd average around 2025, but about 90 people came in total, all just friends of friends. What sprung out of this

is that other people have gone, well, I can do alpha in my front room, let's do it. Seventy-four percent

of students said that they would go to church your friend would invite them. Yeah. Amazing.

Students are desiring to be in family.

Welcome, everybody. This is Simon Gilbeau with Inspired. Great. You back for another fantastic week.

What I love is the range of stories we get on this. And Inspired, if you're new to us,

is all about amidst the bombardment, the relentless bombardment on negativity and bad news that we get fed that just induces anxiety and depression and fear. We want to counteract that

by meeting a whole load of my mates from different walks of life that have seen God at work,

seen how faith has changed things and they've all living life in its fullness, which doesn't mean it's

an easy life, but it does mean it's a full life. And we got with us actually our youngest ever

guest on Inspired. It is Rob Colwell. Welcome Rob. Hello. Hello. Thank you for having

me on. I'm very excited to share some stories and some

encouragement. It would be great. It's going to be brilliant. So Rob is at my old university,

Loughborough, and we met several months ago. I was preaching at my old church, Open Heaven,

with Richard Ness Wilson, and he's absolutely on fire.

And then a few months ago, we were also coming across each other at Jay John's

Evangelist Conference at the beginning of the year and had a great time there.

And I love it.

And, you know, in general, on Inspired, we've had older people simply because it's about life story.

And often you have to have packed in a few decades to have lots of stories. But Rob's only 21. He's got so many brilliant stories. He's got fantastic heritage. Let's hear a bit about that, Rob, because yeah, the Rees lineage. Tell us a bit about that.
