Being brave isn't the absence of fear. Being brave is having that fear but finding a way through it.

Christianity is not about religion. It's about faith, about being held, about being forgiven. It's about finding joy and finding home.

You're not human if you don't feel fear. But I've learnt to treat fear as an emotion that sharpens me. It's there to give me that edge for what I have to do.

I never wanted to do TV. I just did what I was trained to do through the Special Forces, and I've been doing that from a very young age.

I loved climbing because of the freedom, and having time and space. I remember coming off Everest for the last time, thinking of Dad and wishing that he could have seen what I saw. He would have loved it.

Survival is not about being fearless. It's about making a decision, getting on and doing it, because I want to see my kids again, or whatever the reason might be.
