Episode 66: Smackdown with the Enemy, Gareth "Angel" Thompson
Manage episode 412879413 series 3000151
Pro-wrestler Gareth "Angel" Thompson is a pastor who holds “wrestling church” in Bradford, England, replete with sermons and suplexes, bodyslams and baptisms.
In his powerful testimony, hear how as a child he was mistreated and left for homeless until Christians came to his aid and how he now disciples wrestlers and evangelizes England with a unique message of hope.
"We've kind of brought these two worlds of professional wrestling and church together to tell Bible stories in a physical way, to unpack it in a language that people understand, to reach those normally not coming into church.
We do that through the storytelling narrative of good versus evil, of David versus Goliath, of Andre the Giant and Hulk.
And actually all these people are saying, 'Yes' to Jesus and they're stepping into the fight."
Hear the dramatic wrestling match with the Enemy in the fight for Gareth's very soul. Jacob York announces the smackdown of smackdowns.
