From Prison Birth to Peckham Pastor

 In this gripping episode of The Jesus Studio Podcast, Jem speaks with Fernando, lead pastor of Christchurch Peckham, whose extraordinary life story will leave you speechless. Born in a prison to parents battling addiction, Fernando grew up amidst chaos, brokenness, and deep longing for love. From being kicked out of school to serving time in a young offenders’ institution, he was on a path of destruction—until one unexpected moment in a South London drug den changed everything: “Fernando, God loves you and has a plan for your life.” What followed was a radical transformation—through rehab in Colombia, encounters with the audible voice of God, and a slow, gritty journey toward healing and purpose. Now a Church of England minister, Fernando leads a growing, vibrant church where lives are being transformed every week. This is a story of raw pain, miraculous grace, and unshakable hope. It’s about what happens when God takes someone from rock bottom and builds something beautiful. 🕊️ Stick around to the end as Fernando prays for anyone feeling hopeless, trapped, or hungry for freedom. Guest Linkshttps://www.christchurchpeckham.org/Shop:https://www.jesusstudio.co.ukContact:[email protected]:https://www.youtube.com/@jesusstudioInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/jesusstudio.podcast/
