LONDON, ENGLAND (ANS) -- Steve Hollinghurst is a Church Army evangelist who has a wealth of experience interacting with people involved in the New Age movement. Hollinghurst, a Researcher in Evangelism to Post-Christian Culture at Church Army's Sheffield Centre, will be among the guests giving guidance to listeners on LBC radio's The Psychic Show later this month. He will be appearing on the show dubbed the Mind Body Spirit Challenge.
Hollinghurst will be on a special segment of the show produced by Whistling Frog Productions, a ministry of HCJB-UK, on May 25 which will see phone lines open to three different spiritual 'experts', giving a Christian, a psychic, and an astrologer the opportunity to offer help and to provide advice to callers.
The Psychic Show already has regular weekly opportunities for callers to receive life guidance from their resident medium, as well as from a whole host of other new age practitioners. But what listeners have never had before is the opportunity to receive direct help and guidance from a Christian.
Hollinghurst will be the Christian expert on the show; he will be using prayer and Bible stories to bring the light of God's love into the program. He is also a member of the team running the Christian 'Dekhomai' stand at the London Mind Body Spirit Festival, from which the program takes its name.
He says, "I've been using Bible stories on a special deck of cards and the offer of prayer amongst today's spiritual seekers for a while. They both offer a powerful way for people who often would dismiss Christianity to experience its relevance to their lives. The opportunity to offer this on air as part of The Psychic Show is a real chance for this to be experienced by hundreds of thousands of listeners."
It is not the first time that Hollinghurst has been invited to the show. Last Christmas, Hollinghurst appeared on the popular Friday show to talk about angels alongside author John Woolmer and angel artist and channeller Alison Knox.
The festival, to be held at the Royal Horticultural Halls in Victoria from 23-28 May, brings a diverse collection of belief systems and new age practitioners all under one roof. The Dekhomai stand will be offering healing prayer from the Christian tradition, meditation, and resources on Christian spirituality.
Christians from all over the UK will be praying for Hollinghurst on May 25, and there is a special prayer gathering in Bradford at the studios of HCJB-UK on the night.
The Psychic Show, one of the most popular programs on LBC has an audience of 92,000 every Friday night and deals with a whole host of psychic phenomena. LBC can be heard on FM in London, and countrywide on DAB digital radio and the internet at www.lbc.co.uk
