BBC One - My Faith and Me, Series 1, JJ Chalmers

JJ Chalmers recounts how his family and faith helped him deal with devastating injuries.

Invictus Games medallist JJ Chalmers recounts the devastating injuries that changed his life and describes how his faith and the support of his loved ones helped him to recover.

In a special programme to mark Advent, TV presenter and Invictus Games medallist JJ Chalmers embarks on a highly personal journey to revisit the tumultuous events of his life. He reveals how his faith and support of his family and friends helped him to overcome the devastating injuries he
sustained serving in Afghanistan, and how they inspired him to achieve sporting excellence against all the odds.

Re-evaluating key moments from his past and re-engaging with key figures who helped shape his life, he experiences moments of revelation and clarity as he questions how he recovered to become the person he is today.

Unflinching in his honesty, JJ guides us through his life story, talking publicly for the first time about the impact his injuries had on his family, friends and comrades, and how their support inspired him to establish a new life for himself.

Part travelogue, part celebrity biography, the programmes offers thought-provoking insights into what it means to have faith in the 21st century, and tells an inspiring faith story that will resonate with everyone in the build-up to Christmas.

BBC One

For the four Sundays of Advent, four well-loved public figures revisit key events from their past to explore their unique relationships with religion and faith.
