Rebekah Bennetch lives in Saskatoon, Canada.  She grew up in a Christian family.  Her dad is a pastor, and other family members are involved in Christian ministries.  She professed faith from a young age, went to Bible college, atteneded church and went on mission trips.  But in 2007 she "came out" as an atheist and now describes herself as the "black sheep" of her family.
Sheridan Voysey is a writer, speaker and broadcaster on contemporary spirituality. For many years he presented "Open House", a nationally-syndicated Australian radio show on life, faith and culture.  He now resides in the UK.
They discuss what led Rebekah to abandon her faith, how Christians can best treat their "apostate" friends and family, and what lessons can be learnt for fruitful dialogue between believers and atheists.

The cost of keeping hope on air is soaring.

Transmission costs are rising, and Premier receives no government funding. To keep broadcasting hope, truth and encouragement across the UK, an essential funding gap of £579,200 must be filled. 

From 21st September on Premier Christian Radio, join with other listeners to keep faith-filled content on air - for the paramedic driving home after a difficult shift, for the widow in the quiet moments, and for the new believer seeking answers to life's questions. 

If you want to lead the way, you can get in early today.
