    Graham Daniels

    Rosa Hunt is joined by Graham Daniels, general director of Christians in Sport. The charity supports sportspeople in competitive and elite sport to live out their Christian faith, as well as working with churches, schools, and clubs to integrate faith and sport. Born in Llanelli and growing up in the 1970s, rugby was ingrained in the social fabric of Graham's community. But from a young age he dreamt of being a professional footballer. He went on to achieve this ambition in a highly competitive field, playing for Cambridge United, and he is now a director of the club. In 1984, Graham became a Christian, a moment that sparked a journey into ministry and shaped a lifelong commitment to living out his Christian faith through sport. Rosa and Graham share a warm hearted conversation to mark fifty years since the foundation of the charity.

    Lonely Hearts

    This weekend we’ve just had Valentine’s Day – for some it’s very much a romantic occasion, but for many others the day isn’t anything to celebrate at all – it compounds their sense of loneliness. In this week's programme the guest presenter Richard Littledale, a retired Baptist minister and a writer and podcaster working in Colwyn Bay, explores the subject from a personal perspective. Nine years ago his wife Fiona died of cancer and loneliness has been a fact of life for him ever since. During the programme, Richard visits a café, a farm and a hospice and talks to a psychology student who's has battled loneliness. And, Richard introduces us to a polar bear called Arthur.

    Polyphonic Church

    Today, churches around thew world are marking Candlemas, and stepping into that moment in the Temple when the infant Jesus was presented, and Simeon proclaimed him a light for all nations — a light that still reaches into every culture, every community, every corner of our world. But what does that look like in multicultural Wales today? How does that light sound, feel, and take shape among the many voices that make up our shared life? Jonathan Thomas explores the concept of a Polyphonic Church with Craig Gardner from Cardiff Baptist College; Tim Gill from Newtown Evangelical Church; Jessica Morgan from the Bont Church in Pontypridd, and Rev. Dominic DeSouza who recently co-authored a chapter in the book 'Polyphonic God'.
