Mike Guglielmucci is the co-founder of Lighthouse City Mission in Port Adelaide. But more than likely you know him from his astonishing fall from grace in 2008, a fall involving a faked cancer diagnosis, a porn addiction and a desperate desire to earn God's love.

The team sit down to hear Mike's story (7:30), the highs and lows, to find out what really happened and where God was in the midst of it. In this wide ranging and deeply moving conversation, the three of them (and producer James) discuss the choice to move from a mega-church in the suburbs to start a charity in Port Adelaide (11:00), Mike's personal response to Carl Lentz's fall from grace (24:00), how shame threatened to destroy him (40:00), his wife Amanda's incredible grace (49:30) and how moral failure and redemption plays out in the era of social media (57:30).

Have the tissues handy for this one.
