    S6 E1: The Christian Poster Company

    Welcome to Season 6. This episode is with Nick, founder of The Christian Poster Company, in conversation with From a Lancashire Lass. I saw The Christian Poster Company at Big Church Festival 2025 and instantly was drawn to the images and design of the posters, book marks, bags etc that Nick designs. Nick is originally from Lancashire, which I had no idea of, so it was nice to keep with the theme. We're starting this Season as we mean to go on - with hope and talking about the light as the dark will never win.
