AStepFWD recently launched its Presenter Search, opening the door for fresh faces and new voices with personality, confidence and something real to bring to the platform.
The response has been massive, with over 40 applicants putting themselves forward. It is a strong reminder that many people within the Christian and Gospel space are ready to step out, grow and use their voice.
As part of the search, applicants were asked “How would you help Christian & Gospel culture grow in the UK?”. The answers have been diverse and refreshing, with each person bringing their own passion, story and perspective.
Across the responses, one thing stands out: there is a real heart to see Christian and Gospel culture become more visible and accessible. Many spoke about reaching young people through schools, festivals, retreats, social media, short-form content and everyday conversations that people can genuinely connect with.
Others pointed to the power of media, music, film, storytelling, interviews, dance, humour, live moments and personal platforms as ways to take the Gospel into different spaces. There was also a clear desire to create top class content that feels authentic and relevant, while still keeping Christ at the centre.
Everyone answered the same question, but the answers carried different angles. That is what has made the Presenter Search so exciting. It is not just about finding presenters; it is about seeing a generation of voices ready to help shape the future of Christian and Gospel culture in the UK.
With all of the auditionees now announced on AStepFWD’s Instagram, the level of talent has been beautiful to see. If you are yet to check them out, head over to our Instagram page to read some of the responses.
Successful applicants will have the chance to become AStepFWD presenters, taking part in content, interviews, live events and media opportunities, while developing their voice within the Christian and Gospel space.
The finalists will be revealed on 11th July 2026 at FWD Fest. It makes the event even more exciting, as the community will get to see who moves forward in the search and who could become one of the next voices representing AStepFWD.
Congratulations to everyone who applied. The response alone shows a real hunger for opportunities like this, and it will be exciting to see the finalists revealed at FWD Fest. Book your tickets!
