Matt Parfitt: God, You've Got To Come Through - Entrepreneurs
Matt Parfitt, born in 1979, grew up in Nottingham and came to know Christ whilst at The University of Manchester. Graduated with a Batchelor of Applied Science in 2001 and in March 2002 at England’s oldest inn, Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem in Nottingham, he enjoyed his first date with Samantha who he married the following year.
With a steady, fulfilling job as a Primary School Teacher and a married to a GP, how on earth did they both manage to give up their rewarding, fulfilling professions for something even more rewarding and fulfilling, if perhaps a little more risky?

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.
