Just Podcasting's Laura Robb had the opportunity to interview Graham Daniels (Danno!) recently at JPC. He is a director of Christians in Sport and of Cambridge United football club. This is a recording of that interview. Listen in as they discuss 'why what we believe really matters'. The conversation includes anecdotes from Danno's life in professional football and how he became a Christian in that world, to the reality of the choice we face when confronted with the truth of Jesus' claims. A great listen for those considering Jesus and a real encouragement for those who already trust Jesus.

Part 2 will follow with a Q and A session.

Laura Robb and Fi Alston discuss the beautiful doctrine of Union with Christ - and how that our Union with Christ allows us to have humble confidence in who we are before God. Listen in as they consider the difference understanding this doctrine can make to our ordinary everyday faith.
