This is the podcast where we look at men and women from the age of the Church whose lives have had an impact for the Kingdom of God with the ultimate goal of finding inspiration and strengthening our faith. This is the second episode in season four of this podcast where we're exclusively focusing on hymn writers.

The subject of today's episode wrote what is widely considered the most popular English-language hymn of all time - Amazing Grace. I'm speaking, of course, of John Newton.
