Good Cop > Bad Cop > Criminal > Straight Talker - Forgiveness & Reconciliation
This final episode of our Forgiveness & Reconciliation season introduces Simon Pinchbeck:
"Good cop" turned "bad cop" turned "criminal" turned "Straight talker".
Never knowing his biological father and not receiving much love from his parents, Simon had a rough start to life. But it looked like he was on the straight and narrow when at 18 he started working for the Met Police. Unfortunately he strayed into the criminal lifestyle of those he was supposed to be policing with drugs & violence taking the place of his loving wife and kids. His career came to an abrupt end after 23 years when charged with serious assault of a fellow copper.

Simon's life nosedived as he became more involved in organised crime.
In February 2002 after a chance meeting in the gym, he ended-up in church, heard the gospel, gave his life to Christ and undertook the Alpha course. He's since been on a mission to see others' lives transformed through Tough Talk, Christian Vision for Men and now in leading Christian Straight Talk.

WHAT IS ASCEND MEN?
Imagine a community of men who are challenged, inspired and equipped to live passionate lives for Jesus. A place where men-care-for-men through a small number of honest personal relationships initiated and supported by regular male-oriented events. Relationships are built shoulder-to-shoulder doing stuff in preference to eye-balling each other!
Ascend Men is that community.
Our podcasts reflect that desire to challenge, inspire and equip our men. Some are light-hearted easy-listens. Some deserve to be digested and pondered. If you love them, tell us - we could do with the encouragement. If you can see ways they could be improved, tell us - feedback is a gift.
Join our Facebook group or email us (ascend@thec3.uk) to hear more about our fantastic breakfasts in Cambridge, Bury and Colchester as well as our annual Summit in February and Camp in July.
