    The Marriage Foundation's Harry Benson explains why husbands should love their wives as Jesus loved us

    Harry Benson, Research Director at the Marriage Foundation didn't start out with an interest in psychology and relationships. In his early life he became a Royal Navy helicopter serving in the Falklands during the conflict aged just 22. He went on to work in finance in Asia and had two children with a thriving social life. His marriage and life, seemed perfect from the outside but from the inside it was falling apart. He and his wife had little time to spend with each other and were living more as flatmates than intimate partners. They were on the brink of divorce. But following a series of sessions that helped he and his wife Kate learn to communicate through letters the pair fell in love and following that they began the Marriage Foundation. Now the pair help other couples navigate family breakdowns, which, according to Benson, now stands at an all-time high. In this interview with Premier Christianity Editor Sam Hailes, Harry talks about the mistakes he made in his early life, the issues of children living without both parents and why a lack of attention to one another is more dangerous than adultery.

    Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell - The leader of one of the USA's fastest growing churches delivers some hard truths 

    The New York born preacher Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell admits he ran from God at first. The 2819 Church founder grew up in Queens to Bible believing parents who took him to church and yet, in his own words, he still chose sin. His running took him to the south of America where after some soul-searching he turned to Christ, married and following a powerful experience in Israel returned to the US. In the next ten years - which he refers to as being 'forged' - and with his wife Lena, he began 2819 Church in Atlanta. Mitchell's preaching and ministry is focussed on calling America back to a more orthodox Christianity and now prays and preaches for a revival away from materialism which he believes, amongst other things, has gripped the Church in his home country. In this intimate interview with Premier's AJ Gomez he talks through the twists and turns of his early life and powerful experience he had in Israel which lead him to the path he is now on.

    Christian founder of Whizz Kidz charity Mike Dickson on what inspires him to give

    It was a marathon that began Mike Dickson's journey into giving and launched him into starting one of the UK's most unique charities. Back in the nineties Dickson was running to raise money for a child who he had met who had cerebral palsy and had limited mobility. He was inspired to do something for her and any money raised from sponsorship would go towards a motorized wheelchair. They made £9 but after the race, Dickson wanted to do more. He founded Whizz-Kidz, which provides mobility equipment for disabled children. 35 years later is it now the largest UK supplier of paediatric mobility aids outside of the NHS. Dickson is also the founder of Rainmakers, which finds philanthropists and marries them up with charities that need financial support and of which Desmond Tutu was a patron. The subject of giving is close to Dickson's heart and he is the author of Our Generous Gene and more recently How to Be a Better Human. On this episode of The Profile he talks through his work's life, it's up and downs and why he thinks we are more blessed when we give than when we receive.
