Christians in Sport podcast
It’s taken me a while to get round to this, but I’m glad I did. Christians in Sport have a new podcast – a substantial programme exploring the relationship between sport and faith. In the first episode Graham Daniels interviews Cyril Regis. The second and third are with Debbie Flood and Garin Jenkins. It’s well worth spreading the news about these in your church. Why?
First, because there will be many in your church who love sport and these are powerful testimonies. Testimony has an important (but sadly dwindling) place in church life and these may be just what are needed to encourage some of your guys and girls.
Second, they are an important piece of our evangelistic armoury. This works in two ways. Some people are obsessed with sport and will hear nothing else except sport chat – well, if that is the case then why not pass on some Christian sport chat. But there are also another group who think Christianity is so ridiculous that no one could possibly believe it. Such people need to hear their heroes confess – so we need Christian scientists, Christian doctors, Christian poliiticians and so on speaking up for their faith.
And Christian sportmen/women. Here’s a great place to start.
