  • Salvationist Jo Moir, the new leader of Spring Harvest
    Feb 26 2026
    Spring Harvest is arguably one of the most identifiable UK Christian festivals in the calendar seeing between 10 and 20 thousand people descend upon Butlins in Minehead each Easter for family-themed activities, worship and bible study. Now it has a new leader at the helm- Jo Moir - whose deep background in the Salvation Army has given her plenty of experience mucking in and dealing with different types of people. The former midwife grew up in Guernsey to parents who were part of the Salvation Army but in her early teens she walked away and got in with a 'rough crowd'. A prayer brought her back as her mother went to Africa and looking back now she regards her time as a prodigal as valuable. Moir describes the Salvation Army as Christianity with 'its sleeves rolled up'. It is no doubt her open and vibrant personality that brought her to the attention of the BBC, which led her to feature in a documentary, later becoming friends and mentor to the comedian Paul O'Grady . In this interview with Premier Christianity editor Sam Hailes, she talks about her fascinating family history, the opportunities she believes there are for God to move at big Christian events and the importance of all Christians to ask themselves 'why' they're doing whatever it is they're doing.

  • 'The Voice's' Adineke Adewale talks faith within her two careers in law and music
    Feb 19 2026

    Adineke Adewale has forged an unusual but successful career path in not just one but two fields. After studying law she went on to work in the Ministry of Justice in the International Team of the Judicial Office of England and by day rubs shoulders with judges and chief justices from across the world.

    But by night it's a different matter. Back in 2021, the then 29-year-old auditioned for The Voice, reaching the semi-finals with her powerful vocals. The experience launched her music career and she can now be seen performing as Whitney Houston in Queen of the Night, the musical about the American singer's life.

    It's an interesting dual life which Adewale seems to manage effortlessly. Growing up with Christian parents she learned to hold two different things together quite easily, often attending different churches- a catholic tradition from her mother and a Baptist one for her father.

    Since then she has gone on to work in Christian youthwork and speaks openly about her walk with God and her faith in his purpose for her life.

    In this episode of The Profile the Londoner talks to Premier Christianity magazine Deputy Editor Emma Fowles about her stage nerves, the advice she'd give her younger self and her belief that anyone can be a powerful witness for Christ no matter what they do for work.

  • Marriage Foundation's Dr Harry Benson: How to fix family breakdown
    Feb 12 2026

    Harry Benson, Research Director at the Marriage Foundation didn't start out with an interest in psychology and relationships. In his early life he became a Royal Navy helicopter pilot serving in the Falklands during the conflict aged just 22.

    He went on to work in finance in Asia and had two children with a thriving social life. His marriage and life, seemed perfect from the outside but from the inside it was falling apart. He and his wife had little time to spend with each other and were living more as flatmates than intimate partners. They were on the brink of divorce.

    But following a series of counselling sessions that helped he and his wife Kate learn to communicate the pair reconnected. Now Benson helps other couples navigate family breakdowns, which, according to Benson, now stands at an all-time high.

    In this interview with Premier Christianity Editor Sam Hailes, Harry talks about the mistakes he made in his early life, the issues of children living without both parents and why a lack of attention to one another is more dangerous than adultery.

  • Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell - The leader of one of the USA's fastest growing churches delivers some hard truths
    Feb 5 2026

    The New York born preacher Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell admits he ran from God at first. The 2819 Church founder grew up in Queens to Bible believing parents who took him to church and yet, in his own words, he still chose sin.

    His running took him to the south of America where after some soul-searching he turned to Christ, married and following a powerful experience in Israel returned to the US. In the next ten years - which he refers to as being 'forged' - and with his wife Lena, he began 2819 Church in Atlanta.

    Mitchell's preaching and ministry is focussed on calling America back to a more orthodox Christianity and now prays and preaches for a revival away from materialism which he believes, amongst other things, has gripped the Church in his home country.

    In this intimate interview with Premier's AJ Gomez he talks through the twists and turns of his early life and powerful experience he had in Israel which lead him to the path he is now on.
