Sean Fletcher is in London to meet world-renowned adventurer, TV star and best-selling author Bear Grylls, who reflects upon his faith and favourite hymns.   
\nWhilst Bear is often to be found in the world\u2019s most extreme environments, from jungles to deserts, Sean is relieved to find him in the relatively tame location of his favourite London park! In an open conversation on doubt, resilience and the influential people and places that have shaped him, Bear tells stories of his childhood, his time in the special forces and the skydiving accident that changed his life. Sitting amongst the beautiful trees of Battersea Park, Bear and Sean discuss the impact of the outdoors on Bear\u2019s faith and the hymns and songs that continue to inspire him.
\nSean and Bear then travel to Saint Paul\u2019s Hammersmith to admire church artwork close to Bear\u2019s heart and discuss how friendship and vulnerability have been core to his faith. Sean hears of Bear\u2019s new book, retelling the life of Jesus, and why, after all his achievements, he describes it as the best thing he has ever done. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
