Equipping and Encouraging
We had a fascinating evening hearing Leeds Rhinos player Jamie Jones-Buchanan being interviewed about his life and faith.
How does a professional sports player in an aggressive game like rugby maintain a lively faith? How does he even come to have faith in the first place?
Jamie answered these candidly and made it clear that his trust in Jesus is stronger than anything and better than any prize.
We were treated to two brilliant talks from Dr Kirsten Birkett of Oak Hill College London.
She spoke on recent studies on ‘happiness’ and urged us not to base our happiness on something that can be lost.
Her second talk was on the essential harmony between science and faith, and how they cannot be in conflict.
After losing his job in Liverpool, Derek Marshall became a homeless alcoholic.
The future looked bleak, but changed forever when he heard about Jesus.
