Talks

Speaking topics

Every talk is authentic, theologically grounded, practical and hope-filled.

  • My Story & Transformation

    A story of redemption, resilience and hope: from long-term imprisonment to studying theology at the University of Oxford and leading Make Good Foundation, exploring how faith, identity and community become catalysts for lasting change.

  • Reintegration, Identity & Belonging

    How lasting transformation extends beyond personal change into recognition, belonging and participation, and how churches and communities can create environments where people are welcomed, valued and equipped to flourish.

  • Faith, Justice & Public Theology

    How the Christian faith responds to justice, exclusion and restoration, combining biblical teaching with lived experience to consider the Church's role in embodying hope in society today.

  • Education, Hope & Second Chances

    The transformative power of education, opportunity and human dignity, and a hopeful vision of second chances that moves people beyond past labels toward purpose and contribution.
