I’m often asked to speak about Christianity and the Paranormal by various media. I have appeared on BBC and Premier Christian radio and Podcasts, as well as various other paranormal podcast shows.
As a qualified educator, I aim to help people understand this area, which is often brushed under the carpet. This lack of engagement has led to fear amongst those for whom the paranormal/supernatural should be an everyday topic. By bringing the discussion out into the open, backed by serious research, I hope to dispel the spirit of fear in this subject through appropriate education and debate. I can sensitively discuss the paranormal within a wide range of contexts, whatever belief system listeners may have.
If you want Matt to appear on your show or write for your magazine/website, please get in touch with us via our contact page.

Welcome to the sequel episode with Matt Arnold. Here, we hope to finish a big subject when it comes to the Afterlife, which Matt wrote extensively on his blog and the book. Matt will tackle difficult questions such as what about communicating with the dead, ghosts in the Old and New Testaments, who was the Gadarene Demoniac, can we pray for those who are physically dead, what were the early and later Christian beliefs on these issues, and finally, some of the spiritual phenomena mentioned in the Bible and that even Christians go through such as out of body experience or hauntings. We understand that some of the material in both episodes may sound controversial to others so we ask kindly for everyone to research these topics for themselves.
