Behind the success was a trainwreck of womanising, violence, cocaine, and more. He describes the day in front of 10,000 in competition when he dropped a 160kg Atlas stone on his knee as the best and most painful of his life. Encountering Jesus began dramatically with a demon coming out of him, but his discipleship journey has been a long one, working through the different areas of brokenness in his life. Now he runs the Station Gym in Sheffield, and many people have come to Jesus through Phil and his team taking the church to the gym. It’s a cracking story! ▶️ If you’re not too squeamish, check out the video version of this interview on YouTube to see some clips and photos: https://youtu.be/csaIk_KAxSs Check out thestationgym.co.uk Contact Phil at phil[@]thestationgym.co.uk  --- ❤️ Support our work in Burundi: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspired ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ --- ▶️ Subscribe to us on YouTube 📸 Follow us on Instagram: @inspiredwith.sg 📲 Weekly episode WhatsApp link: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠greatlakesoutreach.org/whatsapp 📧 Weekly email notification: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠greatlakesoutreach.org/inspiredemail⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🇧🇮 GLO Burundi WhatsApp Channel For more from Simon, visit: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠simonguillebaud.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Choose Life daily or weekly email to stir your faith: chooselife.org.uk --- 🌍 Produced by Great Lakes Outreach - Transforming Burundi & Beyond:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠greatlakesoutreach.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠","meta_description":"Phil Roberts was England’s Strongest Man in 2017.
