  • EXTRA | Pulling No Punches | Extended chat with Mez McConnell

    EXTRA | Pulling No Punches | Extended chat with Mez McConnell
    Apr 24 2026

    Make sure you check out Part 1 to hear Mez's astounding story!

    What does it actually look like to reach the people the Western church has largely abandoned? Mez McConnell has spent 30 years doing it — in Brazilian favelas, Scottish housing schemes, and some of the most deprived postcodes in the UK. In Part 2, he pulls no punches. This is a conversation that will unsettle comfortable Christianity and inspire anyone who's ever wondered if the church could — and should — do more. Mez's raw honesty about mission, sacrifice, and what genuine community transformation looks like is worth every minute.

    Of all Mez’s books, if you want to engage with poverty and church-planting in the UK, go for The Least, The Last and The Lost: Understanding Poverty in the UK and the Responsibility of the Local Church

Simon is a great interviewer and he has an amazing range of contacts. Stories range from gung ho heroism to patient endurance under Great suffering. All of them are permeated by a sense of God‘s grace and love. It’s great to hear stories of God miraculous intervention as well as times when he seems to be absent. The stories are honest and gritty. Highly recommended!

Just inspiring and encouraging. Fabulous!

Been dipping in and out of the podcast for over a month now. It’s good to listen to what God is doing Home on abroad. I’ve passed on a lot of this podcast to all different people whoever or not they’ve listen to them or not they’ve got them..

To sauna and hot tubs.

Fist pumpingly good
