Rev Jim Williams fulfilled a a lifelong ambition to appear on the classic quiz show Bullseye.

In November, Jim and his son Henry appeared on an episode of the show which broadcast on 16 November.

The pair won £2,000 for Blackpool’s Streetlife Trust, a youth work charity providing emergency shelter to vulnerable and homeless young people aged 16-25 in the town and surrounding areas.

Though filled with laughter, darts, and light-hearted prizes, Jim said the show quietly carried lessons that speak to the deeper journey of life. And so, he used the opportunity to tell his story of his calling, from “bomb-builder” to becoming a vicar. In a Christmas letter to congregations in his community, Jim reflects on what he calls the “theology of Bullseye” and explores the show’s gentle wisdom and what the unexpected “pulpit” teaches about purpose, choices, and grace.

You can read that letter from Jim in ‘Reflections’ under the Church Life tab at the top of the page.
