2) God-given talent: Saka, Rashford and Sterling blaze a trail for black British Christians – Loved this profile piece in The Guardian.

3) Catch-up Ticket for the ‘Church as a Refuge’ online conference – Understanding abuses of power and control, creating safer church cultures, and healing trauma. Speakers: Dr Diane Langberg, Dr Phil Monroe, Dr Wade Mullen, Dr Lisa Oakley, Dr Heather Evans, Darby Strickland, and Mike Sloan.

5) Dear Jesus, My love life is cursed – I appreciated the honesty and beauty of this piece of reflective writing.

6) Pastor, You Probably Need To Quit – It’s been a hugely difficult eighteen months for most of us, and leading a church community is no exception. Maybe you’ve felt like quitting. Well, maybe there’s some healthy instinct in that response – and maybe there are some things we should consider quitting…

7) Perfect Family Roadtrip Listening: Smash Boom Best – For something a bit different, this is a fun podcast for listening to as a family: every episode takes two cool things, smashes them together and lets you decide which is best.
