In the debut episode of 'The Big Man Up Top' podcast, hosts Ed and Joe introduce themselves as passionate football fans who are also Christians, aiming to explore how their faith intersects with their love for the sport. They discuss their teams, Stoke and Liverpool, share their thoughts on recent football events like the Community Shield and Preston's managerial change, and delve into deeper topics like hope, both in football and life.

The guest this week is Luke Sharp of !Audacious Church, who goes more in depth about having hope for the season and also for life in general.
