Steven Bartlett's spiritual curiosity

Dragons’ Den star Steven Bartlett has said he’s “almost back to being curious” when it comes to matters of faith.

On an episode of his popular podcast “The Diary of a CEO,” Bartlett hosted an extended discussion between a “spiritual thinker,” an atheist and Christian Greg Koukl.

During the conversation, Bartlett shared an anecdote about a friend of his, aged between 35 and 40, who was living in Dubai – single, childless, and working from home. Bartlett describes how said friend had confided he could no longer get out of bed and felt stuck. “And then about six months later, out of the blue, it turns out, without telling any of us, his best friends, he’s flown to America, he’s been baptised, he’s a Christian, and suddenly his life has purpose and meaning again,” Bartlett said. “He’s a completely different person.”
