In this vibrant and heartfelt episode, Em Tyler sits down with beloved TV presenter and children’s author Gemma Hunt to talk about the intersection of faith, parenting, media, and purpose. Known for her warmth, wisdom, and contagious joy, Gemma brings a refreshing honesty to the realities of raising a family, navigating unanswered prayers, and living out faith in the public eye.
This conversation weaves together humour, hope, and healing—from prophetic nudges in her teens to writing books that help kids see themselves in faith stories. Gemma shares how her daughter helps shape her creative work, how reluctant obedience can still be faith-filled, and why joy and pain can co-exist in the life of a believer.
We discuss:
✨ How diversity in children’s literature changes hearts
✨ What Gemma learned from the Alpha and Prayer courses
✨ Navigating disappointment when prayers go unanswered
✨ How worship can carry us through pain into presence
Have you ever wondered if God’s “no” might be a redirection rather than a rejection?
Whether you're parenting, creating, or waiting in faith, this episode will remind you that God meets us in the middle of it all—with joy, grace, and surprising purpose.
