Stories from guests who found hope, faith, and transformation.
Meet Tom, in Edinburgh.

But everything began to shift when a friend invited him to Alpha... and he encountered something he never expected.
In this powerful and personal story, Tom shares how a Tuesday evening, a simple prayer, and an open heart led him to discover peace, purpose, and faith in God.
Whether you're a believer, a sceptic, or somewhere in between — this is a journey worth hearing. Watch the full video and see how one moment changed everything.
Meet Emily, in London.
Emily’s someone who has always been curious about life’s biggest (and even smallest) questions. Science gave her many answers, but deep down she still felt unsettled and unfulfilled.
That began to change when she was invited to try Alpha at a local church. For the first time, she discovered a safe and welcoming space to ask life’s hardest questions, explore faith, and have honest conversations — all without judgment.
As Emily continued the Alpha journey, something shifted. When she decided to go "all in," she realised that the things she had been chasing in life could never truly satisfy her. Instead, she found what she was searching for all along: a relationship with God that brought her peace, purpose, and lasting joy.
Meet Anand, in Swansea.
Anand is a father and husband from Swansea who seemed to have a good life. But when he began feeling unwell, a visit to the doctor changed everything.
He was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and fear quickly set in. In the middle of that dark season, a friend introduced him to The Chosen — a TV series based on the life of Jesus.
What started as curiosity soon sparked a deeper interest in Christianity. Soon after, Anand was invited to try Alpha, a place where he could bring his doubts, worries, and questions. Despite his uncertainty, he decided to go. And it was there that he experienced something life-changing — a real encounter with God.
Meet Mike, in Belfast.
