Watch BACK

Watch the live recording of the Evening with Bear Grylls.

BEAR Grylls

Bear Grylls! The name has instant "brand" recognition. Bear Grylls: the former member of the SAS, the Chief Scout, the Running Wild TV celebrity adventurer!

But it's Bear Grylls, the disciple of Jesus, who really interests us.

Bear is one of very few Christians today whose personal faith identity cuts through the noise of the news and connects with people. He has moved the dial on his passion for Jesus up a notch in the last few months with the publication of his Times Best seller book: The Greatest Story Ever Told.

“Faith in Christ has been the great empowering presence in my life!”
— Bear Grylls

About THE evening

We were delighted to have Bear come to the area for a three-venue event on Tuesday 18 November 2025 to tell his story. This event was organised by the BCP Church Collective who brought the Baptisms On The Beach to Bournemouth in the summer.

Bear spoke at three venues on the evening:

Others were involved in the evening programme, including apologist Amy Orr Ewing and  spoken-word artist Abby Guinness. Local people told their stories of hope at each venue, watch one of them below:

THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD

This five-chapter book invites you into the drama of Jesus’ life like never before. With gripping storytelling and raw honesty, Bear Grylls retells the gospel through the eyes of those who knew Jesus best— Myriam (his mother Mary ), Ta’om (Thomas), Shimon ( Simon Peter), Yohanan (friend) & Myriam of Magdala (Mary Magdalene).

Why not buy his book for yourself and a friend?
