Meet Nathan Ranclaud aka Uncle Nath
Nathan Rancluad aka Uncle Nath, is one of the most unlikeliest pastors you’ll find. Nath never dreamed of doing what he does now in life. Nath had a rough start to life and eventually left school early. There weren’t very many prospects for Nath but everything changed when he encountered Jesus with the help of a local church. Now Nathan is a pastor and also a stand up comedian specialising in a growing sector of the stand up market: clean comedy. You can check out Nath’s website here.

Meet Will Small
“My own faith story is both ordinary and magnificent — to draw on the idea I explored in producing this piece about the incarnation of Christ and the Christmas story.
Ordinary, in that I grew up in a home where church and God-talk was the norm, and I naturally inherited the faith of my parents. No blinding light on the road to Damascus or ‘used to be a drug dealer until I met Jesus’ conversion story here. Just an immersion in the story of Jesus, and the tangible example of my parents seeking to live out honest and authentic ‘good news’ lives.
And absolutely magnificent — the same Jesus who flung stars in space and partied with sinners captivated my attention from a young age and has not stopped doing so. I have taken the faith I was given and wrestled with it, asked questions of it, held it and let it hold me. I have challenged it and been challenged by it, and the upside down kingdom of God continues to reshape my worldview. I am often amazed at how many of my beliefs have radically morphed and shifted over the years, and yet the consistent centre is this Jesus, the God who moved into the neighbourhood in love.”
