TUES 31 AUG: Rockin’ all over the world. Grammy Award-winning Christian rockers Jars of Clay stop off on their tour of Europe to pop in for breakfast. Fresh from wowing the crowds at the Greenbelt Festival, they’ll be telling us about their brand new single ‘Out of my Hands’, and we’ll be trying to hitch a ride on their amazing tour bus.

WEDS 1 SEPT: Body and Soul. Much loved actress and singer Linda Nolan reveals how her famous family has coped with cancer, and Christian GP Dr Kem Thompson joins us live in the studio with her tips for a healthier lifestyle for your body and soul. She’ll be taking your calls on your health niggles too - so get ready to get in touch.

THURS 2 SEPT:Back to school. As term starts across much of the country, Oasis Founder Rev Steve Chalke MBE helps us start the school year with his inspiring take on how churches can support their local schools - and maybe even start their own, like his Oasis Academies. He’ll also be giving us a sneak preview of his provocative new programme for Premier - ‘Catalyst’, coming soon!

FRI 3 SEPT: We wrap of the week with our new-look Give Thanks Fridays, so get in touch and share what's been good in your life this week. We also hand the music over to you too, as we play your Inspirational Anthems. That's where you share the stories behind the songs that have inspired and uplifted you in your life - or you may simply want dedicate a track to someone who has been a blessing to you. So whether it's U2's 'Beautiful Day' or LCGC's 'Oh Happy Day', you can get in touch all week on breakfast@premier.org.uk. We'd love to play your special song on the show to help you end the week on a good note (literally!).
