Episode von Statzgespräch von Peter Statz · 15. Oktober 2025 · 53 min

What happens when faith, humor and honesty collide? In this episode, host Peter Statz meets beloved English bestselling author Adrian Plass, known worldwide for "The Sacred Diary of Adrian Plass Aged 37¾" and "The Shadow Doctor", to talk about laughter, struggles and how God's presence is real even when we walk through shadows.

Adrian shares stories full of warmth, wit and wisdom, from sacred diaries and personal breakdowns to moments of unexpected grace. Together they explore how honesty can build bridges, why questions and fractures are part of our journey of faith and why it matters that God is not only good but also nice.

If you have ever wrestled with brokenness, searched for grace in difficult times or longed to hear God's "big Yes" in your own story, this conversation will encourage, challenge and make you smile.
