‘Our life is precious but it’s a bit fragile’

Broadcaster Peter Shaw started with Rhema Medic back in 1981.  Having been involved with many roles during his time in Christian Media, some of Peter's highlights have been building a brand new station from scratch (Star back in 1997) and co hosting Star Breakfast with Cathy Jenke.

Peter went for a holiday break at the end of 2025.  Having had some issues with shortness of breath and after a medical appointment he discovered he had a blocked artery and needed open heart surgery.

Peter shares of the challenges he's faced from recovering from his surgery, how precious life is and of how important his faith in God has been to sustain him through this challenging season.

Hi, I’m Lizzie Oakes, and in 'Where Do You Find God' I talk with my guests about the ways they encounter God in their everyday lives.

Acts C 17 v 27 says “God intended that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us”.

God is close to all of us, what is often missing is our awareness of his presence. 

One of the joys of making this podcast is that as I ask my guests about the ways they encounter God, often right in front of me, they start to encounter him. Suddenly, their tone of voice changes, their speech slows right down, and a look of understanding comes across their face. 

As the scripture promises, if we reach out for him, we will find him.
