Michelle shares what motivated her to start her nurse training and her first job as a Neonatal intensive care nurse when she first qualified. Michelle discusses her first role and how engaging with post graduate training and education changed her practice and how this also helped when she was supporting students. She shares her move to work at the hospice and how she has held a variety of leadership and management roles, including Head of care for adult and children and now as CEO. Michelle shares her motivations for studying for a MSc in Palliative care. She discusses how the multi disciplinary focus on the modules has assisted her in her leadership roles. Michelle shares advice for any student listeners or anyone wishing to work in palliative care. The episode finishes with Michelle discussing her career goals and plans for the future, working on a local, regional and national level.Please see below for some information about St Andrew's Hospice:At St Andrew's Hospice, we aim to make each day count. As a registered charity, we provide palliative care services for adults, children and families who are living with life-limiting conditions, as well as family bereavement support. We have delivered palliative and end of life care for more than 45 years to people across North East Lincolnshire, and for 25 years to children from the whole of Lincolnshire, Hull, and the East Riding of Yorkshire. We employ just under 200 staff and are supported by more than 450 volunteers, meaning we can provide 24-hour care, seven days a week. It currently costs £7million a year to run the hospice, of which only a fifth is funded by the Government. We rely on the generosity of our community to fund the rest. Anyone can refer – the patient, their family or a medical professional – in writing, by telephone or in person. We are independent of the NHS but work with other healthcare organisations to provide the best possible care. You may know St Andrew's Hospice as a place that looks after adults in the final stages of their lives. We offer the comfort, care and compassion that we believe each one of us deserves, easing pain and managing symptoms whilst providing a holistic hand hold to both our patients and their families. But did you know that the breadth of our care reaches far beyond the confines of our adult inpatient unit? Each year, we also provide thousands of Hospice at Home visits for children across Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire, wellbeing sessions in our garden and creativity room, physiotherapy and lymphoedema treatments, bereavement counselling and complementary therapies. Our hospice is a vibrant, happy place, which celebrates life and living. Whether through a movie marathon at our onsite cinema, art therapy groups in our Coffee Retreat or ukulele groups entertaining patients in our Hub, our focus is on making each day count. Thanks to our donors, supporters and community, we do this at no cost to our patients, for the majority of our services. Their generous support means our hospice care services continue to be delivered both in the community and in our buildings, under one roof, providing high quality, person-centred, holistic palliative care. Our community is at the heart of everything we do. Without them, we simply wouldn't exist. With their support, our aim to ‘Make Each Day Count' is more than words – it is a reality for the adults, children and families who use our services. https://www.standrewshospice.com/

On today's program, more turmoil at St. Andrew's Chapel in Florida—the church started by R.C. Sproul. Allegations surface as the church grapples with the fallout of recent excommunications. We'll have details. And, World Water Day was last week, and that prompted us to look at ministries that are in the clean water business. Which ones should you support? We'll take a look. Plus, former Southern Baptist Convention President Steve Gaines died last week at 68 after a bout with cancer. He led one of the SBC's largest churches for nearly two decades. But first, a former PCA pastor was sentenced this month to 30 years in prison for abusing a minor. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. We get database and other technical support from Stephen DuBarry, Rod Pitzer, and Casey Sudduth. Writers who contributed to today's program include Kim Roberts, Isaac Wood, Tony Mator, Bob Smietana, Makella Knowles, and Jessica Eturralde. Until next time, may God bless you.

Guest Preacher: Simon GuillebaudA long-time friend of St. Andrew's, Simon is a missionary, author, speaker, social entrepreneur, family man, cyclist and charity founder. He had a very clear call to Burundi in 1999, when it was regarded as the most dangerous country on earth. Having unexpectedly survived 7 years of genocide and civil war, he set up Great Lakes Outreach with the vision to transform Burundi and beyond through holistic mission, working with gifted local leaders of integrity. Learn more about Simon.Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: Exodus 40:34-38; John 20:19-22.Sermon NotesSt. Andrew's mission statement, from the home page of our website, expresses a desire ‘for every individual to connect to the presence and power of Jesus Christ'. Exodus 40 culminates in God's glory filling the tabernacle, and the Israelites waiting upon God's leading before moving in obedience to him, having connected with His presence and power.Two Key Points To connect to the presence and power of Jesus Christ, you need to obey God To connect to the presence and power of Jesus Christ, you need to keep in step with the Spirit (Galatians 5:25)Discussion Questions Moses ‘did as he was told', repeatedly (40:16, 32). What might hamper your obedience to ‘all that God commands' you to do in your life? What does obedience look like for you in the areas of work, family, worship, community, finances, evangelism? Verse 36 says that ‘throughout all their journeys' i.e. in every situation, the Israelites would keep in step with the Spirit and move with God.  v37 says ‘they did not set out' if the cloud didn't move. Do you recognize times you've run ahead or lagged behind? Did you genuinely invite God into those times? What might we learn for next time? Brother Lawrence writes of a person who is full of good intentions but ‘wants to go faster than grace allows'. Our culture and society move pretty fast, but how can we work out the best pace ‘that grace allows'. Share any lessons learnt and what has worked for you in the times you got it right.Maybe this prayer from Thomas Merton is helpful for those of us living (like the Israelites) with uncertainty: "My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you." God help us to slow down (or speed up), to keep in step with the Spirit, and to connect to the presence and power of Jesus Christ!Questions?Do you have a question about today's sermon?

Learn how AI agents are reshaping enterprise decision-making, AI governance, and brand creativity. Daniel Hulme, Chief AI Officer at WPP & CEO of Satalia/Conscium, explains how AI agents, decision intelligence, and his concept of “brand brains” (AI systems designed to create brand-specific, production-grade content) are changing how organizations operate. He shares why companies don't have data problems but decision-making problems, and how AI can augment human creativity at scale. Key Moments: From Academic AI Research to Enterprise AI Systems (01:50): Daniel traces his 25-year journey in AI, from studying intelligence and consciousness at UCL to building real-world systems inside global enterprises. He explains how curiosity about what it means to be human ultimately shaped his approach to building practical, responsible AI at scale. AI Agents and Risk: Why AI Needs Governance (05:50): Daniel introduces a defining metaphor, describing AI agents as intoxicated graduates—confident, fast, and often wrong. He uses this framing to explain why unchecked agent deployment is risky and why governance, testing, and supervision are essential as organizations scale AI. What Most Organizations Get Wrong About AI Testing: (14:00): Daniel breaks down the difference between testing for knowledge versus testing for real capability. He argues that most companies stop at surface-level validation, creating a false sense of safety and trust. How AI Changes Business Decision-Making (24:45): Daniel challenges the traditional analytics mindset, arguing that dashboards and insights rarely lead to better decisions. He explains why AI should be designed to make decisions directly and why humans are fundamentally bounded when dealing with complex optimization problems. Brand Brains and the Future of Creative Differentiation (30:25): Daniel introduces the concept of “brand brains,” explaining why generic generative AI content won't create competitive advantage. He shows how agentic systems can produce brand-specific, production-grade content that actually differentiates businesses. Key Quotes: “ There are many things that our brains do that are different to large language models that I think will inspire us to create much more energy-efficient machines.” -  Daniel Hulme   “Giving human beings better insights doesn't typically lead to better decisions… So working backwards from the problem to the data historically, for me, has been a success.” - Daniel Hulme   “The reality is that those agents will go wrong… So there's going to be much more emphasis over the next year or so on governance [and] on making sure that they are capable of doing that job.” - Daniel Hulme  Mentions WPP's AI “brains” Will AI ever be better than humans at predicting what humans want? | WPP The Hidden Spring: A Journey to the Source of Consciousness by Mark Solms Guest Bio  Dr. Daniel Hulme is a globally recognised expert in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and investor in emerging technologies. He's the CEO of Satalia, an award-winning AI company that was acquired by the world's largest marketing company in 2021, WPP, where he is now the Chief AI Officer. Daniel has been recognised as one of the world's leading keynote speakers as well as one of the top ten Chief AI Officers globally. Amongst his many technology investments, Daniel is also Founder and CEO of the World's first commercial research organisation to understand Machine Consciousness, Conscium. With over 25 years academic experience with AI, Daniel received his Masters and Doctorate in AI at UCL. He was previously Director of UCL's Applied AI Masters Programme, where he is now UCL's Computer Science Entrepreneur-in-Residence. Daniel is also an Impact Board Member of St Andrew's University Computer Science department and the University of Sussex Informatics department, focused on using AI to solve business and social problems.

Kanishka Raffel is the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney, leading the diocese since 2021. Born in England and of Sri Lankan descent, Raffel migrated to Australia as a child and initially raised as a Buddhist, he embraced Christianity during his university years. Before his current role, Raffel served as the Dean of St Andrew's Cathedral in Sydney and held pastoral positions in Canberra, Goulburn, and Western Australia. His unique background and leadership in the Anglican Church are marked by a commitment to multiculturalism and community integration. Key Points: Multiculturalism and Faith: Raffel appreciates multiculturalism as both a cultural reality and a gospel opportunity, highlighting the biblical narrative from Babel to Pentecost. Christian Hospitality: The episode stresses the importance of Christians extending hospitality, modeled after God's hospitality, as a powerful means of advancing social cohesion and community relations. Navigating Fear: Exploring the role of fear in immigration debates, Raffel points to the online world’s potential to fuel radicalisation, emphasising the need for communities to remain non-reactive and welcoming. Biblical Framework for Immigration: Raffel uses Old Testament principles of welcoming the stranger to offer insights into current immigration policies. Leadership in Multicultural Contexts: Raffel calls for gentle, gospel-shaped leadership that acknowledges immigrants' vulnerabilities and models a Christ-like posture in public discourse. Notable Quotes: "At Pentecost, the Gospel is proclaimed in many languages. In Antioch, the walls that divide the ethnic quarters come down in the church of Jesus Christ." "The openness of the people of God to the stranger culminates in the person of Jesus Christ. His Lordship is a hospitable one, not a totalitarian one." "There’s tremendous opportunity for Christians who have experienced the hospitality of God in the gospel to offer hospitality." "It's very easy for native-born Australians to underestimate how disruptive, isolated, and confusing it is to be a migrant." "Peaceable and considerate leadership is needed in today's multicultural debate, as it provides a great opportunity to engage with gospel-shaped responses."

W/C 9th February 2026In between recording and note-writing Wikipedia has provided one of the answers;St Andrew's Church is a redundant Anglican church standing in an isolated position, in fields about 2 kilometres to the north of the village of Woodwalton.The isolated position of the church is thought to be due to its central location between Woodwalton Castle, a motte and bailey castle to the north, Sawtry Abbey to the west and the village settlement to the south.It is about 200 metres to the east of the East Coast Main Line and is visible from the passing trains.A picture of the church appears on the cover of the book The Nation's Favourite Churches by Andrew Barr.Oh, and it allows me to tip my hat to the Little Angels, on the week tickets have gone on sale for their reunion tour.Stay safe.Splendid Isolation - Little AngelsSt Andrews Church, WoodwaltonTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

Donald Wright speaks with Don Nerbas and Tess Elsworthy about their book McGill in History. This book brings together diverse historiographies and perspectives to critically examine how McGill has been implicated in power structures and is the product of conflicting ideologies. James McGill, the university's namesake, owned and profited from the sale of enslaved Black and Indigenous people, a legacy highlighted by the removal of his statue and ongoing debates over the racially charged Redman name used by the men's sports teams. Imperialism, settler colonialism, slavery, sexism, and homophobia are elements of McGill's story that must be fully integrated into a broader understanding of the university's institutional history. Challenging siloed narratives with new research, the contributors in this volume highlight the important task of scholars to scrutinize and confront history that is unflattering and to rethink their institution's own story – a reckoning happening across many institutions of higher education around the world. Don Nerbas is associate professor of history and St Andrew's Society/McEuen Scholarship Foundation Chair in Canadian-Scottish Studies at McGill University. Tess Elsworthy is an MA student in the Department of History and Classical Studies at McGill University in Montreal studying under Laura Madokoro.

14 For even as a man going into a far country, called his servants, and delivered to them his goods;Sicut enim homo peregre proficiscens, vocavit servos suos, et tradidit illis bona sua. 15 And to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and to another one, to every one according to his proper ability: and immediately he took his journey.Et uni dedit quinque talenta, alii autem duo, alii vero unum, unicuique secundum propriam virtutem : et profectus est statim. 16 And he that had received the five talents, went his way, and traded with the same, and gained other five.Abiit autem qui quinque talenta acceperat, et operatus est in eis, et lucratus est alia quinque. 17 And in like manner he that had received the two, gained other two.Similiter et qui duo acceperat, lucratus est alia duo. 18 But he that had received the one, going his way digged into the earth, and hid his lord's money.Qui autem unum acceperat, abiens fodit in terram, et abscondit pecuniam domini sui. 19 But after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reckoned with them.Post multum vero temporis venit dominus servorum illorum, et posuit rationem cum eis. 20 And he that had received the five talents coming, brought other five talents, saying: Lord, thou didst deliver to me five talents, behold I have gained other five over and above.Et accedens qui quinque talenta acceperat, obtulit alia quinque talenta, dicens : Domine, quinque talenta tradidisti mihi, ecce alia quinque superlucratus sum. 21 His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant, because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.Ait illi dominus ejus : Euge serve bone, et fidelis : quia super pauca fuisti fidelis, super multa te constituam; intra in gaudium domini tui. 22 And he also that had received the two talents came and said: Lord, thou deliveredst two talents to me: behold I have gained other two.Accessit autem et qui duo talenta acceperat, et ait : Domine, duo talenta tradidisti mihi, ecce alia duo lucratus sum. 23 His lord said to him: Well done, good and faithful servant: because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.Ait illi dominus ejus : Euge serve bone, et fidelis : quia super pauca fuisti fidelis, super multa te constituam; intra in gaudium domini tui.St Andrew, in his youth, led a dissolute life. Through the unceasing prayers and supplications of his mother, he was converted, became a famous Carmelite friar and was raised later to the dignity of Bishop of Fiesole. He died A.D. 1373.

Walk along Stowell Street in Newcastle upon Tyne and turn into St Andrew's Street, and you might notice a plaque on the wall. It marks the site of the house where Tyneside bard Joe Wilson was born - though it's unclear how many people know who Joe Wilson is. There was a resurgence of interest in the 19th-century songwriter a few years ago, particularly thanks to the musical play, The Great Joe Wilson, that toured the north east in 2018. It was a rousing, whistle-stop tour of the bard's short life and songs. But who was he, and why is he important if we're looking at a city through a folklore lens?

Many Christians will be familiar with the practice of praying for and visiting those from their own church who might be sick in hospital. But the role of the hospital (or hospice) chaplain can allow for ministry to all kinds of people. What are the challenges, joys, and opportunities experienced in this unique role? This time on PEP Talk, we hear from a hospital chaplain who himself spent eight months in hospital after a car crash which left him permanently paraplegic.Kelvin Burke is the author of "Lake of Tears", a compelling book with a unique application of God's partaking in the face of suffering. Kelvin is an Anglican minister and Healthcare Chaplain. After his time as Priest-in-charge at St Andrew's Wakefield Kelvin was called to Minister in Healthcare Chaplaincy, starting out as Honorary Chaplain at Wakefield Hospice and then Pinderfields Hospital where he had been an inpatient for nine months in 1979/80 following a Road Traffic Accident which left him paraplegic. He was appointed Chaplain at Leeds Teaching Hospital during which time he studied for and attained a Masters in Theology at Cardiff University. In 2010 he moved with his wife Jennie and three teenage daughters (Chloé, Katie and Ellie) to the Isle of Wight, and after a short time as Chaplain at Mountbatten Hospice and St Mary's Hospital, he was appointed Senior Chaplain of Isle of Wight NHS Trust.

Lilie James was a bright, beloved 21-year-old whose future seemed limitless, until one October night inside St Andrew's Cathedral School shattered everything. Now, the coroner's newly released findings are pulling back the curtain on a far more chilling and calculated reality than anyone first understood. What happened to Lilie wasn't random, and it wasn't sudden.  It was a premeditated act of violence carried out by someone who once claimed to care for her. The details point to control, planning, and the dangerous power of technology in the wrong hands… .

A Christchurch secondary school's end of year prize giving and concert has become a thing of legend. St Andrew's College practically broke the internet in 2023 with its performance of Stairway to Heaven.

Sally Mann is a photographer and a New York Times bestselling writer. She is best known for making large-format black and white photographs of the people and places in her immediate surroundings: her children, her husband, and the rural landscape of her home state and the American South. Sally was born in Lexington, Virginia, the youngest of three children to Robert and Elizabeth Munger. Her father was a doctor and gave Sally his old Leica camera to play with. After university, she wanted to be a poet but she spent more than a decade as a commercial photographer while starting a family of her own and exhibiting her work on a small scale. She published her first book of photographs in 1984. That same year, she began taking pictures of her three children for a series called Immediate Family, which brought her both renown as well as infamy for touching on ordinary moments in their daily lives – playing, sleeping, and eating, sometimes while naked – but also speaking to larger themes such as death and cultural perceptions of childhood, rendering familiar subjects “both sublime and disquieting”. In the mid-1990s, she began to move away from the family pictures in favour of photographing the landscape around her. Much of Sally's body of work comes from observing what is closest at hand because, she says, “The things that are close to you are the things that you can photograph the best.” She has explored the identity of the American South, and her relationship with her place of origin, as well as mortality and decay, and the effects of muscular dystrophy on her husband. In her latest book, Art Work, she considers the challenges and pleasures of the creative process. Sally continues to live on the 800-acre family farm near Lexington with her husband Larry and a number of dogs.

He was the brother of the Apostle Peter, from Bethsaida on the shore of Lake Gennesaret. Andrew left his fisherman's trade to become a disciple of St John the Baptist. Soon after the Forerunner had baptized Jesus, he said to Andrew and his other disciple John the Theologian, "Behold the Lamb of God!" At this, both disciples followed after Jesus. After conversing with Christ, Andrew hurried home and told his brother Simon Peter, "We have found the Messiah." For being the first to recognize Jesus as the Christ, St Andrew is called the First-Called.   After Pentecost, Andrew was appointed to preach the Gospel around the Black Sea and in Thrace and Macedonia, traveling as far as Lazica in the Caucasus. According to Slavic tradition his travels took him even further, into the land that was later to be called Russia.   In later travels the Apostle preached throughout Asia Minor with St John the Theologian, then traveled to Mesopotamia, then back to Sinope on the Black Sea, and finally to Patras in the Peloponnese, where he soon established a large community of Christians. One of his converts was Maximilla, the wife of Aegeates, the Proconsul of that region. Aegeates was so angered by his wife's conversion that he had the Apostle arrested and crucified head downwards on a cross in the shape of an "X." The holy Apostle rejoiced to be allowed to suffer the same death as his Master.   The holy relics of St Andrew, after various travels, were returned to Patras in 1964, where they are now venerated.   In the West, St Andrew is venerated as the patron of Scotland: in the Middle Ages, more than eight hundred churches in Scotland were dedicated to him.

He was the brother of the Apostle Peter, from Bethsaida on the shore of Lake Gennesaret. Andrew left his fisherman's trade to become a disciple of St John the Baptist. Soon after the Forerunner had baptized Jesus, he said to Andrew and his other disciple John the Theologian, "Behold the Lamb of God!" At this, both disciples followed after Jesus. After conversing with Christ, Andrew hurried home and told his brother Simon Peter, "We have found the Messiah." For being the first to recognize Jesus as the Christ, St Andrew is called the First-Called.   After Pentecost, Andrew was appointed to preach the Gospel around the Black Sea and in Thrace and Macedonia, traveling as far as Lazica in the Caucasus. According to Slavic tradition his travels took him even further, into the land that was later to be called Russia.   In later travels the Apostle preached throughout Asia Minor with St John the Theologian, then traveled to Mesopotamia, then back to Sinope on the Black Sea, and finally to Patras in the Peloponnese, where he soon established a large community of Christians.

Welcome to a very special episode of Scran. This week Rosalind was invited to 10 Downing Street to partake in a celebration of Scottish food and drink in advance of St Andrew's day.  Following the event Rosalind sat down with the Prime Minister Keir Starmer to learn more about why he has brought back celebrating Scotland's national saint's day to Downing St, more about his favourite Scottish food and drinks as well as his thoughts on challenges being faced by both the fishing and whisky industries.  But first you'll hear some opening remarks from Satty Singh, owner of Mr Singh's Indian Restaurant in Glasgow who travelled to London to speak at the event and escort his team to provide their now-famous, tandoori salmon tikka for the event - a favourite of the Prime Minister's. Rosalind chats to Satty a little more later in the podcast to hear about the business and how it's evolved.  Rosalind also caught a quick word with Scran-alumni and Scottish fashion designer Siobhan Mackenzie who also attended the event. You'll hear music throughout this episode from Lussa, a Glasgow based traditional band who entertained guests at the event.  Happy St.Andrew's Day!  Learn more about your ad choices.

On October 1, 911, during the reign of Emperor Leo the Wise, an all-night vigil was being held at the Blachernae Church of the Mother of God in Constantinople, with many of the faithful crowding the church. St Andrew the Fool for Christ (commemorated tomorrow, October 2) was standing at the back of the church with his disciple Epiphanius. At around four in the morning, the most holy Theotokos appeared above the people, clothed in resplendent garments, surrounded by indescribable radiance, and holding a veil in her outstretched hands, as though to protect all the people. St Andrew said to Epiphanius 'Do you see how the Queen and Lady of all is praying for the whole world?' Epiphanius replied 'Yes, Father, I see it and stand in dread.' This wonderful event is recorded in Epiphanius' life of St Andrew. Because of it, the Church keeps an annual feast on this date.   Note: This feast is particularly well-loved in the Slavic churches. In 1960, the Greek church transferred its observance to October 28, in memory of the Mother of God's protection of the Greek forces holding the Albanian front against Italy in 1940. St Romanos the Melodist of Constantinople (556)
