This reduced me to tears. What an articulate, insightful gentleman. I feel a pull to start attending church myself. I kinda feel I was supposed to see this today. I've attempted to go to church the past few weeks but my nerves n feelings of being a fraud keep me from going in. Pleasure to hear someone else turn their lives around. Fab interview James. 🙏👍👌
Love this. The tone and pace alone of this guy's story telling had me gripped from the start. An undeniable truth seems to just radiate from him. The peace and serenity that is now in place of the hurt and violence is really quite astonishing. Superb interview mate.
It's not often you get someone who can see the light before something bad happens like a long stretch inside. To change your path of your own accord is a blessing.
I came here after reading the inspirational message from Our Daily Bread for today 23rd October 2022. May Jesus Christ continue to strengthen you Claud on your journey. I will get your book. God bless you James for bringing Claud. My first time watching. 🙏🏽
This man is speaking with such clarity in such a way that anybody can understand. Men of the street can relate as well as men from higher classes. A message for all deliverd by a messenger for our Lord.
Claude due to circumstances which many of us faced , he chose wrong path , but hes nice man seems like heart of gold . Best interview so far. And all the positive comments, amazing 💯💯👊🏼👊🏼
one of the best stories i have heard. Claud is such a likeable person that people just wanted to help him. i hope his life continues to grow. James always allows the story to be told. Bless you both.
Rate this guy. Very very intelligent man & comes across so well! Couldn’t have came to a better place to tell such a powerful , meaningful story! Thank you brothers this was an amazing watch & gives us all motivation to continue with good instead of the bad.
I was looking for a book on Amazon yesterday and yours popped up . So bought it and started to read it . Next day I put on the radio and there was some music I didn’t like. So tune into another channel. And this guy was talking about cocaine. I listened and it turned out to be this guy . God obviously wanted me to lead his book . Being in the gyspy community we can find a lot of people square and that can’t really relate . But this guy as had life experiences that can relate t certain people that need to hear the gospel and they’ve not gone to far beyond Gods reach . Pray for my family members please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hey Big up Tooting!! 😁 My old stomping ground when landed in London in the 80s, it was a good manor for us Irish back in the day til like everywhere the really young kids started appearing, fighting each other & messing up everything & bringing it on top for everyone. Lots of old heads got out of the life at that time and the streets went wild. I love all of South London , good years in Garratt Lane , Henry Prince Estate 💚 , my baby was born in St Georges hosp.Tooting . Still got a real soft spot for the South London accent & I enjoyed Clauds story. Hes a nice lad and I relate big time with him about loving his £6.50 Barista job, there really is nothing like having your peace of mind.
@@Rev_Claud Its really good to hear from you Claud. Im delighted for you finding purpose & peace of mind both after growing up in the life is not easy, im 52 and still struggling with the purpose bit after 15 yrs straight. God Bless you. 💚
Podcast is BRILLANT guys and thank you Claud for sharing your unbelievable story with us, we all really appreciate it! Stay safe my friends and God Bless! 🙌
Shame this wasn't longer, you sound like a genuine geezer, where sometimes you hear these other ones on here and you think nah bullshit. Very honest and fair play to ya 🤜
Only read the title. Decided to give it a watch. As soon as I heard claud speaking I knew he was a man of the church. Was pleasantly pleased when it unfolded and my initial instinct was correct. He's been shown the light before the devil could sink his claws into him. The tirany of evil men can be touched. When good prevails over bad.
You look stable, focused and content Claud. Respect to you in finding happiness and of course to James for his great work at helping people have a voice in addressing their past issues in order for some closure.
Thank You James Iv Been Watching Your Channel Now Regulary for the last few Months always a Message to take from your Guests and of course yourself and This one Has really hit home Hats off to you and Claud
Big fan of the Podcast James, truly powerful content. Please make a habit of putting a link to guests books or social media. Really would be appreciated all round. Also beneficial for both you and them with redards to SEO and algorithms 📈💡
Can't lie! this made me shed one! Great podcast, really moved me. Compelling story and I might even reach out... Not sure about the god thing straight away but the energy is good!!! I resonate with so much of what was said even though I'm not from the road. The struggle is the same deep down for everyone! It's all about how you feel inside and your personal relationship with you!! I really wanna change!!! And hope connecting with you will bolster my resolve. Bless
I grown up with 2 of his brothers and yup I was a dick, smoking and picking fights but now I'm a Detective S...so proud of you Claud..never too late to find God
Due to working late ships I'm watching this at 2am, really enjoyed the interview James though don't have a clue who Claud is but glad he has found something he believes in. 👍💎🎤💜
Yes, my hours are far from customary also which makes uploads such as we receive from this channel absolutely fantastic, could you even imagine that Lockdown without broadband!?💒🆒
Read clauds book yesterday , I picked it up expecting to only read the first chapter as I’ll be honest I don’t usually read books. However as I started reading I could not put it down such an inspiring , emotional and truly interesting book. I’m trying to appreciate gods love for me more I’m nowhere near a good Christian but I’m trying. Cheers claud 💯🙏
Amazing. I'm a Christian but not a so called "bible basher" and i used to laugh at the idea of God or Jesus and also thought it was weak. Sure parts of the bible are bonkers but I tell you what, like Claud says in this interview- once you realise that God is there and you offer him your heart, massive events begin to happen in yer life as a result. God is STRONG. This interview shows that so humble up a d take note of the TRUTH.
What a cracking bloke claud seems to be. Alot of the things he says really touch your soul. I wish him all the luck in the world and would like to hope I can 1 day take note from the path he has chosen
Brilliant podcast James, what a beautiful human being you are Claud thankyou for sharing your story... I am church of England, I turned bk to God and believe Jesus brings light, love and hope.... Claud you bring hope to the ppl.... Big love.. 💖💯💖☝️🙏🙏
Amazing content, I'm a Christian who suffers with mental health and being stuck in an environment where I am daily making decisions that I know I shouldn't be making but can't seem to find the strength to make the changes i need to but interviews like this make me realise how everyone can change. Keep it up you are changing lives 😊
@@Rev_Claud just finished listening to your podcast. Absolutely amazing. So glad you managed to get out of that life and find God. Hope you become a priest and become an inspiration to youngsters and steer them away from a life of crime.
Excellent interview lads. Big respect claud making change and being selfless to others. Wise lad pal, keep your flow big fella excellent honest man. Excellent James speaking proper wisdom bro and owning your journey but love your game on to learn more of self. True mate, “mindfulness” the difference between a negative thoughts and a positive. Keep growing and educating bro. Brilliant questions & answers..honest open talk brilliant ❤️👊✌️
One thing I've heard in a lot of interviews is you said you post the links to people's stuff in the description but all you do is post the name of the stuff is there a reason for this?
Big up I like this guy just reminds me of one my mates I'm from mitcham and morden .I respect this guy man good on him keep up the good vibes the streets eats guys up 2 the point it's all you no I've changed and it still gets 2 me seeing my frends not see it for what it is . Think this guy would be good 2 do sum bits with marvin 💚👍
@@JamesEnglish James thanks for sharing 217 episode's and giving a voice to people who would normally have there character definitely destroyed by character deformation.dont stop the fight bro 👏👏👏
Old school G. I'm not with the Jesus stuff but glad you found a niche outside of Whitney and Bobby because that stuff is harmful to the soul and ultimately very shallow.
“The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change.” - Carl Rogers. / Thanks for your support Sean all the best brother.
Claud comes across as such a likeable guy. I'm not big on religion personally I lean more to spirituality. Having said that it's really helped this guy and more power to him. I think the key thing anyone takes from these experiences is humbleness. To be humble is in my opinion really empowering. Another top podcast though James. 👌
Jesus is real I had a similar thing happen and I opened a Bible and changed overnight people think I’m crazy but Jesus is so powerful . I came off the road and stopped drinking daily overnight from that one night getting a powerful feeling out of no where to read the Bible and accept Jesus it’s hard to explain but it happens
Pathetic grow up there is no God you honestly sound ill Saturday 16th may 2015 i stopped drinking i didn't need no silly little religious mythology figure to do so I attended one of their AA meetings it was the most pathetic thing I've ever seen far actual adults too lol pathetic
@Martial Matters try it bro honestly. I’ve done magic mushrooms and meditation neither worked mate it was just a deceiving feeling but I was still empty. Now I feel full and free. All you have to do is open a Bible that’s what happened to me. Maybe start with proverbs it’s a wicked book in there.
Iv always said too my 2 boys if anyone hits ya u hit them bk...DO NOT ALLOW URSF TOO BE BULLIED, as a single mum tho I also taught my boys DO NOT BE A BULLY, Absolute best podcast ever...massive respect too u James... Domestic violence needs more awareness 😢 xx
Very good watch this but when Claude was talking about his early days he seemed to come across dark but as he got into his new life his character literallly got better every minute until the end you see the likeable Claude great watch.
