Wole Agbaje on being dragged 'kicking and screaming' into the Anglican church
Playback speed
Wole Agbaje is a British pastor, creative leader, and church planter known for founding IMPRINT Church which has communities in London and Leicester.
Agbaje's church is London is in the heart of the financial district in a place where people regularly do 60 hour working weeks often spending more time at work than they do at home.
He grew up in a Christian home and says he was woken at 6am to give devotions to God but despite that devoutness he says he never felt called to ministry, instead deciding to studying economics at university.
But God had different plans - specifically a role within the Anglican church as a vicar.
He had a transformative spiritual experience during his university years - a dream - which led him to start a gospel showcase that used music, drama, and visual arts to share the message of Jesus.
Within no time he became a pastor at 21. Now aged 30 he looks back at where God has brought him in conversation with Emma Fowle - Premier Christianity Magazine's Deputy Editor. She speaks to him about his upbringing, his love of music and how the Holy Spirit is moving in among the silent revival which is happening on his watch among Gen Z.
