Julie Goodwin burst into our screens and into the hearts of Australians back in 2009, when she became Australia’s very first MasterChef. Following the win, Julie was catapulted into stardom - seemingly overnight. A book deal, TV segments, a radio program, and her own cooking school - she should’ve been on top of the world.

Sheridan is a broadcaster, speaker and author of nine books. His latest work Praying through Infertility is written by men and women who have faced infertility themselves - a journey that he and his wife Merryn have walked through.  

Sheridan is also no stranger to the microphone – he currently hosts Pause for Thought on BBC2 in the UK, where he now lives with his wife. But he’s also formerly the presenter of Open House on Hope 103.2, so it was an honour to welcome Sheridan to back into the Hope building to chat with him.
