Lets talk about those sporty kids. How do we balance sports and church? What about modelling Christ-likeness? How do we parent sporty kids, when there isn't a sporty bone in our body?

Join Ed, Amy as they chat with Ian Lancaster (Lancs) from Christians in sports about how we can support our kids and help them navigate the world of sport. Ed and Amy spill the beans in parenting blunders, and Lancs helps them, and us, with some practical tips.

Hope you like fish! Peter and the disciples end up with waaaay more than they bargained for – and Peter has another one of this funny turns. This miraculous catch is the ninth sign of seven, which doesn’t make any sense, but then again, John’s gospel is all about Jesus’s abundance! And brace yourself for fun facts about fishing indoors on ice with a fire, catfish noodling and trout tickling.
Here’s a picture of that fragment of John’s gospel from Jam on John.

It's Easter! And the best sign of the seven is the, er, eighth! Jesus raised Lazarus, but what happens when Jesus is crucified? You probably know this one...

In this episode, we focus on the reaction of Thomas in John 20:24-31.

But also, what have you touched? And how many pyramids were built? And how tall were they, in football pitches? And what happened in 1311 in Lincoln that became a world beater? Plus more from Jam's massive brain in Jam on John.
