006 Embrace the Vision ~ In conversation with John Griffin [Podcast]

In this episode Jo Boyce is in conversation with John Griffin, one of the founders and organisers of the Embrace Youth Conference in Liverpool. John shares how a simple vision of having a youth Mass, led to a one-day event that attracts close to 2000 young people.

Having studied at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, John has since followed God’s call into some unexpected places and roles. We hope this conversation with John gives you encouragement and inspiration to take small steps into big visions.
