Off Grid Christianity

Off Grid Christianity is a podcast for those who want Christianity through fresh eyes and are looking beyond the brick walls of the Church. This Podcast series is to encourage the listener through conversation with a different guest every week. Here, we meet those who have made their faith count where it matters the most.
Hosted by Martin Purnell, former ‘Drivetime’ presenter on the UK’s first FM Christian Radio station, ‘Cross Rhythms City’, in Stoke-on-Trent. Martin also pioneered the legendary lunchtime discussion programme ‘The Soapbox’ on national Christian radio station ‘UCB’.
In recent years, Martin took a step back from direct involvement in broadcasting to focus on family life in his adopted home of Northern Ireland. However, throughout that time, the concept behind OGC has been developing on the ‘back burner’ and we’re excited to bring that to fruition, through this regular podcast.
