Today I sit down with Canon Andrew White.
He's a hero to many and a personal hero of mine.
He's the former 'Vicar of Baghdad' shares his compelling experiences in conflict mediation across the world. From negotiating with ISIS leaders to being kidnapped in Iraq, he talks about the complex road to peace between Israelis and Palestinians, and the significant events throughout his career that have shaped his faith and worldview.
Be inspired as you hear about his resilience through personal suffering, his unwavering mission for reconciliation, and his continued impact in some of the world's most volatile regions.
