Off Grid Christianity – Episode 131 - Andrew J Chamberlain
Andy is an award winning author, conference speaker, voice artist and writing coach. For several years he hosted The Creative Writers Toolbelt offering practical advice and encouragement. A blog is also available. However, for 20 years Andy had his own off grid experience as he had stepped away from being a Vineyard Pastor. Why did he step away? What did his church think? Why does he write science fiction books? Why does he ghost write autobiographies? Here is my back story to this podcast…I normally only record one podcast per week. However, due to my administrative malfunction (or cock-up in every day language), I recorded 2 in one day and another later that week. None of the 3 guests knew each other. It was as if God had other ideas as a fortnight ago Dave Mann’s podcast, last week’s with Bob Prater and Andy’s today, all give different accounts that make up a whole picture. What is the theme? What can we do in the community. Enjoy this episode that is the final part of the trilogy. thestorycraftpress.gmail.com https://www.andrewjchamberlain.com Are you a Christian writer, or are you exploring a calling to write, be it fiction or non-fiction, poetry or prose? Join Andy and other guests at the British Christian Writers Conference on Friday 19th and Saturday 20th September 2025 for craft advice, marketing insights, a chance to showcase your work and an opportunity to receive prayer for your calling.

Off Grid Christianity is a podcast for Christians who feel disconnected from Church…whether they attend one or not!
Those 5 Starter Questions and Christian Hero.
This shortened episode features the 5 questions I ask every guest at the start of every podcast. I finish every episode by asking them who their christian hero is. The former BBC NI Political commentator and all round good egg Martina Purdy, turns the table and asks me the questions. Many have asked what my answers would be so here they are!
Meet Your Host
Martin Purnell
Hosted by Martin Purnell, former ‘Drivetime’ presenter on the UK’s first FM Christian Radio station, ‘Cross Rhythms City’, in Stoke-on-Trent. Martin also pioneered the legendary lunchtime discussion programme ‘The Soapbox’ on national Christian radio station ‘UCB’.
In recent years, Martin took a step back from direct involvement in broadcasting to focus on family life in his adopted home of Northern Ireland. However, throughout that time, the concept behind OGC has been developing on the ‘back burner’ and Access Radio is excited to bring that to fruition, through this regular podcast.
Martin was interviewed by Roger Jones which was broadcast Wednesday 5th March 2025 on www.brumsideradio.com broadcasting worldwide; on DAB and also on a smart speaker. You will also be able to access it afterwards on his website www.cmm.org.uk under Heart and Soul or use this link…
