Can broken family relationships ever be restored? And what role can faith, forgiveness and mediation play in helping people find a way forward? In this episode of the Woman Alive podcast, Jemimah Wright speaks to Becs Dhillon, daughter of Alpha pioneers Nicky and Pippa Gumbel, about her Christian faith, her work as a barrister and mediator, and the importance of navigating difficult relationships with compassion. Becs reflects on growing up in a well-known Christian family, the pressures of being a pastor’s child and why she needed to discover Jesus for herself. She also shares how her passion for justice led her to work with survivors of human trafficking in India, the challenges of motherhood and the extraordinary ways she has witnessed God at work around the world. With a heart for helping people navigate conflict and difficult family relationships, Becs offers a perspective on the importance of listening, understanding and finding a way forward when relationships become strained.
