Debbie came to Wirral to speak about her life, her sport, her career, and what matters most. While many around her find identity and purpose in their sport, Debbie finds hers in her faith in Jesus. That means she has been able to compete at the highest levels in world sport and retain balance and purpose in the face of difficulties and set-backs.

Prof John Wyatt led us through some of the ethical challenges being raised by developments being made in technology and culture.
He then also gave a Christian response to those challenges, and then provided gracious and wise responses to some very helpful questions in the Q&A.

Nobody gave Chris and Tony a chance. Married at 17, two children by the time they were 18. No job, no prospects.
Later on, Tony was an alcoholic prison officer, while Chris was a “nominal Roman Catholic disillusioned by Church.”

But when the time was right, God moved powerfully in both their lives.

If ever you needed evidence that the Good News of Jesus still changes lives, this is it. Tony and Chris were very open about their lives and how they had been transformed by faith in Jesus.

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.
