Church Army researcher in radio Mind Body Spirit Challenge
16 May 2007
A Church Army researcher will be among the guests giving guidance to listeners on LBC radio's The Psychic Show later this month. Steve Hollinghurst, Researcher in Evangelism to Post-Christian Culture at Church Army's Sheffield Centre, will be appearing on the show dubbed the Mind Body Spirit Challenge.
Hollinghurst will be on a special segment of the show produced by Whistling Frog Productions, a ministry of HCJB-UK, on May 25 which will see phone lines open to three different spiritual 'experts', giving a Christian, a psychic, and an astrologer the opportunity to offer help and advice to callers. The Psychic Show already has regular weekly opportunities for callers to receive life guidance from their resident medium, as well as from a whole host of other new age practitioners. But what listeners have never had before is the opportunity to receive direct help and guidance from a Christian.
Hollinghurst who has a wealth of experience interacting with people involved in the new age will be the Christian expert; he will be using prayer and Bible stories to bring the light of God's love into the programme. He is also a member of the team running the Christian 'Dekhomai' stand at the London Mind Body Spirit Festival, from which the programme takes its name. He says, "I've been using Bible stories on a special deck of cards and the offer of prayer amongst today's spiritual seekers for a while. They both offer a powerful way for people who often would dismiss Christianity to experience its relevance to their lives. The opportunity to offer this on air as part of The Psychic Show is a real chance for this to be experienced by hundreds of thousands of listeners."
It is not the first time that Hollinghurst has been invited to the show. Last Christmas, Steve appeared on the popular Friday show to talk about angels alongside author John Woolmer and angel artist and channeller Alison Knox.
Steve Hollinghurst is a member of the team running the Christian 'Dekhomai' stand at the London Mind Body Spirit Festival, from which the programme takes its name. The festival takes place at the Royal Horticultural Halls in Victoria from 23-28 May and the Dekhomai stand will be offering healing prayer from the Christian tradition, meditation, and resources on Christian spirituality.
The Psychic Show, one of the most popular programmes on LBC has an audience of 92,000 every Friday night and deals with a whole host of psychic phenomena. LBC can be heard on FM in London, and countrywide on DAB digital radio and the internet at www.lbc.co.uk
