They are an unlikely duo. One is a television and radio presenter who also lectures in journalism at Belfast Met and the other spends her time in a spiritual world but Lynda Bryans and Roisin Campbell have teamed up to bring hope in these difficult times.

Lynda, who lives in Belfast with her two sons, is well known throughout Northern Ireland and has had a long and successful career on screen. Roisin lives in Dromore with her husband and daughter in her Wellness Centre from where the live online Lighthouse Chat Room transmits.

Roisin has worked in the spiritual field for the past 30 years and in that time connected with over 100,000 people, helping them to release old energies and emotions people carry and to find their true path in life.

Roisin and Lynda have now teamed up to launch a chat show live on social media which encourages people to come to them with questions about life and faith.

"Lynda likes to tell the story of our first meeting," recalls Roisin, who was a guest on Lynda's lunch time radio chat show around 16 years ago.

"At one stage she said to me on the radio, 'How do we know this isn't all hocus pocus?' and at that exact moment the airwaves shut off and there was just silence. That was Spirit's way of saying, 'I have the last word… and it's silence!' and from then on Lynda and I had a strong connection."

Due to busy family lives and careers the pair lost touch for a period of time but recently reconnected at mutual friend's funeral.

"I knew Lynda was back in my life for a reason and when I started to work on the chat show she was the obvious choice to co-host it," Roisin reveals.

She explains that she has always had 'the gift' but that a near death experience as a child brought it to the fore.

"I took some of my mum's sleeping tablets thinking they were sweets when I was young and was rushed to hospital.

"I believe that was the catalyst - I passed through the veil of spiritual remembrance and from then my connection with the Spirit has been really strong," she adds. Roisin explains that she would often find herself guided to give complete strangers messages.

"I can't switch it on and off - it is there all the time.

"I get very little sleep as there is always a voice and connection in my head."

Lynda had a more traditional route to Christianity, growing up in the Presbyterian Church. She left a few years ago when the General Assembly passed a vote that people in same sex relationships couldn't be full communicant members and their babies could not be baptised into the Church.

"To me, that isn't reflective of Jesus's love. Some people are born gay, the same way as some of us are born left-handed and it's an archaic and barbaric rule to exclude people," says Lynda.

"Roisin spends her whole life dedicated to God and his work - the same God I love and worship and she has an incredible and unique gift which she uses to bring God's tremendous healing to others. It is a supernatural thing but she is full of grace and love and is always giving to others. That's what made me want to work with her."

Roisin says her mission is to bring each person back to their divine self, as spiritual beings having a human experience called life, to reconnect with our Creator's voice.

Roisin reveals she has had one day off since childhood when 'Spirit' as she refers to the Holy Spirit didn't talk to her.

"I woke up and it was quiet and I couldn't understand it. I spent the whole day feeling lost and wondering what I had done wrong but at 8.30pm it came back it was like a new energy was being topped up and the old had to clear out for it."

She recalls how at the start of Covid-19 she saw a lot of glittering colourful lights falling and the energy was really strong.

"This was the earth being filled with Archangels so no one would suffer alone. I feel it is very important to get that message out there to anyone who lost someone due to Covid and feels they died alone - they didn't. There have been Archangels with everyone so no one has been on their own."

Roisin and Lynda have had one chat show so far and plan to run them regularly - Roisin says they were inundated with people who are hurting and suffering.

"There is a lot of sadness and depression out there. It has been a very difficult time for so many. People are struggling with lockdown and not seeing loved ones and getting out and living normal lives.

"We answered as many questions as we could as well as trying to get a message of hope out there that better times are ahead. People are naturally frightened and angry. There was also a lot of fear coming across surrounding the vaccines and what they mean.

"People need to put their trust in God and try to discern what the spirit is saying to them."

The Lighthouse Chat Room will be live online on Sunday, April 25 at 12.30pm. You can book directly online at www.rainbowlighthouse.net and receive your free Zoom link
