In 1 Thessalonians Paul writes encouraging the church to stand firm, celebrating their faith in Jesus, love for one another, and their hope built on the gospel despite persecution. These characteristics are just as vital today as athletes, players and coaches long to live and speak for Jesus within the world of sport.

In John 11 Jesus says 'The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.' This huge claim comes alongside Jesus' raising of Lazarus from the dead. So what does this mean for sportspeople today? Laura opens up this incredible story in John's gospel.

Jesus said 'I am the good shepherd.' What does that mean for sportspeople in 2025?

How do you define yourself? As we open John's Gospel, we read Jesus' famous 'I Am' sayings. What do they reveal about Him, and how does this make a difference to sportspeople today?

As Daniel is thrown into the lion's den, he places his confidence in the living God for rescue from an impossible situation. What about you? Do you really believe God can rescue the sportspeople you train and compete with? 

Daniel faced real opposition, and today Christian sportspeople face opposition as they navigate the world of sport. In this talk, Dave gets into the story of Daniel being thrown into the fire, and how the God who rescued him is the same God who is in control today.

God's kingdom is eternal, while other rulers, cultures and ideologies come and go - His love and rule remains steadfast. We see Daniel acting in light of this in Babylon, and we can do the same today as sportspeople who long to share the love of Jesus with our friends.

Daniel, along with the rest of Judah, had every reason to doubt God, yet they stood firm. Navigating a culture of sport today that doesn't recognise God as King is similarly challenging, yet we can be confident in God's faithfulness in tough circumstances.

Does God really love me? It's a question many of us ask as we journey through life. Our final game changing truth from Romans 8 is that in Christ there is no separation, only love. 

What keeps you going when you face difficulty or suffering? In this talk, Laura looks at the second game-changing truth from Romans 8: that in Christ we have true lasting hope that goes beyond pain, suffering, and even death.

The good news of Jesus is truly game-changing for those who put their faith in it. In this talk, Lloyd looks at the first game-changing truth from Romans 8: that there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
