Muyiwa Olarewaju's Faith Journey
Sean Fletcher joins singer, songwriter and gospel music legend Muyiwa Olarewaju as he shares his extraordinary faith journey and chooses his favourite hymns and worship songs.
Sean Fletcher is in London to join singer, songwriter, broadcaster and Songs of Praise Gospel Choir of the Year judge Muyiwa Olarewaju to learn about his extraordinary and eye-opening journey of faith.
Sean discovers how faith and music have been central to Muyiwa’s life from the beginning, and how they helped rescue him from a traumatic childhood. Muyiwa shares the heartbreaking memory of being sent from Nigeria to London as a child and being kicked out onto the streets when he was just 12 years old.
Muyiwa takes Sean to the London church that saved him from a potential life of crime, offering him much-needed faith and family. He shares with Sean the family tragedies he has faced and how faith brought him light through the darkest of times.
Muyiwa then takes Sean from the church to the amazing auditorium at the Royal Festival Hall to reflect on his glittering career and why singing about faith is so important to him.
With music chosen by Muyiwa to reflect his faith journey:
1. God, I Look to You – Reading Town Hall
2. How Great Thou Art – Blessing Annatoria
3. Greater Than It All – Way Church, Wigan
4. Total Praise – Sound Foundation Choir
5. Hosanna – LCCM Choir, Methodist Central Hall, Westminster
6. Strength Will Rise – House on the Rock, London
