Soul Survivors – Details, episodes & analysis

For many years, Soul Survivor stood as a beacon of the UK evangelical movement, leading thousands of young people to faith annually.

This series aims to unpack the circumstances surrounding these allegations, hearing from those at the heart of the story. Also, in light of an increasing number of similar stories emerging within the UK Church, it seeks to understand why such incidents are occurring and explores how we can prevent them in the future.
