'I heard men's stories, ordinary people and it wasn't hard for me to put myself in their shoes'. 

When Graham Lapslie first started working as a Prison Chaplain, he thought he'd made the biggest mistake of his life.  Within a couple of months, he discovered that hearing men's stories and coming alongside them as a neutral party was an honor and a privilege.   Graham talks of finding God in the prison and shares on what he wishes people outside prison understood about those who are incarcerated.

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.
