The Longest Day Podcast

In this week’s episode, join Leah as she speaks with Lord Michael Hastings CBE, former Commissioner of the Commission of Racial Equality, chairman of SOAS and vice-president at UNICEF UK among other roles. Listen to how his story of his longest day weaves with the stories of those he serves, particularly prisoners and ex-offenders. At the young age of 16, Michael purposed ‘to speak up for the poor and to bend the power of the prosperous to the potential of the poor’ when he saw the impact of poverty in Jamaica and how violence erupted in the streets. He takes his 3-step process of hearing, heeding and doing from off the pages of the Bible as he does a little bit each day to advance the freedom of others.
