Simon Pinchbeck was a copper, who had a career change & became a criminal, then had a life change, & became a Christian. After 23 yrs in the Metropolitan Police, Simon left after receiving a not guilty verdict on an assault charge. He then became obsessed with money and material things, so entered into a life of crime, but after being ripped off for a large amount of money by his knew found colleagues, he was left the lowest he had been in his life, facing prison, or even death. That was when God threw him a lifeline in the shape of fellow Tough Talk member Bryn Robertson. Seeing the change that faith had brought to Bryn, Simon made the choice to invite Jesus into his life, and embark on a personal relationship with him made real through the Christian Course of Alpha. This was in 2002, & since 2004, Simon has been a constant member of the Team eager to tell anyone that will listen, what the Love of Jesus has meant in his life.
