    Jam and Ed are back together! Literally! In the same room! (Open a window.) Find out the origin story of the Olympic Flame in this special episode about God’s glory featuring Ed’s favourite Bible story of all time in 1 Kings. It’s the gold medal-winning story – and there is fire falling from heaven. It’s VERY dramatic! And our friend Michael J Tinker has a song about THIS EXACT STORY! It's also here on YouTube.

    Find out why Ed went to Rome in pursuit of Glory. We also hear from John Bostock who didn’t just have a football at his feet aged 15, but the world of football. You can watch the whole interview at the Christians in Sport YouTube Channel here.
