Faith in Parents
The Faith in Parents podcast is all about helping families raise children for Jesus. On this stream, you’ll find episodes for parents, presented by Ed and Amy, that cover all the issues we think are important today. We’re not trying to give you the answers, but a few starting points. We hope and pray you’ll be inspired to give it a go. Every family can.

Richard and Rosslyn Perkins are parents to Flora Perkins who has just become the U23 British Road Cycling Champion. They have spent many years driving her around, cheering her on and wondering if she really does need another bike. Richard also happens to be the Pastor of King’s Church Guildford, while Rosslyn works part-time as a GP, an NHS appraiser and teaches Medical Students. They both were top level athletes in their day. Richard argues that he is yet to peak. They have two other children who are just as wonderful in their own right!
