Dave explores how Jesus responds to difficult questions posed by religious and political leaders. These questions were designed to trap Him, not to seek genuine truth. Despite their motives, Jesus answers wisely, often sidestepping the traps and revealing deeper truths. Dave looks at three major questions and subjects which were raised: 1. Divorce – “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” (Mark 10:2) 2. Taxes to Caesar – “Should we pay taxes to Caesar?” (Mark 12:14) 3. Resurrection & Marriage – “Whose wife will she be in heaven?” (Mark 12:23)The post Dave Frodsham: Questions to trap the revolutionary first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

Psalm 86:1-17

We pick up where we left off in last week's interview with high school chaplain and special guest Polly Butterworth. This week, she discusses understanding Gen Z culture and the role it plays in evangelism.Hearts on Fire

Pastor Christina preaches through selected scriptures and explains what it means to live a life that is set apart for God. Paul writes to the Romans, "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Christina makes the case that a consecrated life begins in our hearts, and those who live consecrated lives understand what they've been redeemed from. Such a life is not lived in part, but is entirely given over to God. The message finishes with Christina encouraging us to trust God even when His plan doesn't seem to benefit us.

In We stumble and He sets us free, Rick looks at Mark 9: 38-50. Rick talks about how Jesus wants us to have wide hearts toward others – welcoming even those outside our immediate group – but narrow tolerance for personal sin. Jesus rebukes exclusivity among His disciples and warns about causing others, particularly the spiritually young, to stumble in faith. As Rick points out, using an illustration of his former gaming addiction, seemingly small, private indulgences can gradually become spiritually consuming. We need to keep looking at ourselves and be honest about what might be subtly dominating our lives. Rick urges us to: 1. Use the Bible as a moral compass. 2. Remove the opportunity for sin by cutting off its roots. 3. Know your identity as a child of God, which empowers freedom. 4. Depend on God's compassion and the freedom Jesus offers.The post Rick Robertson: We stumble. He sets us free. first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

In this opening message of our Amos series, Andrew Butterworth explores Amos 1–2 and unveils why God's “roar” of judgment is truly His passionate pursuit of relationship. Discover what happens when religion grows disconnected from real heart change and hear how this urgent call speaks into our lives today. Tune in and let justice roll like a river in your heart.

In this episode of the Effective Ministry Podcast, host Al James sits down with Polly Butterworth to discuss her book, 'The Mythical Life of the Good Christian Girl.' Polly, a high school chaplain, offers insights into the pressures young Christian women face and how her personal experiences shaped the book. They delve into the process of navigating faith, societal expectations, and the myths surrounding 'good Christian girls.' Polly also shares strategies for addressing doubts and highlights the importance of focusing on Jesus rather than societal or self-imposed pressures. This conversation is not only valuable for young women but is also insightful for youth workers, parents, and Christians in general.Buy the Mythical Life of the Good Christian GirlYou can Polly's book at youthworksmedia.netHouse Conference | Tuesday 26th - Thursday 28th August - ***Early Bird Closes On the 30th of May***HOUSE Conference is about theological reflection for best practice in youth and children's ministry within a community of youth and children's ministers.

Ola looks at Mark 10:46-52 – The story of Bartimaeus. Continuing our series on the book of Mark, Ola focuses on Bartimaeus, a blind beggar in Jericho who responds to Jesus with bold faith. Ola’s message shows us how God meets us where we are — like He met Bartimaeus on the roadside. Faith is not about physical ability, but spiritual perception and surrender. We must be persistent in prayer, even when we are discouraged or silenced. True faith leads to action — Bartimaeus threw off his past and followed Jesus. When God calls, our response should be urgent and wholehearted. Jesus asks each of us: “What do you want me to do for you?” What is your response?The post Ola Dosunmu: Faith, Surrender, and the Call of Jesus first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

The army celebrated its 250th anniversary this weekend in an incredibly patriotic fashion. Thank god that President Trump is in office to honor and celebrate our country and its 250th birthday. If Democrats were in power the army might not have even gotten a mention or an acknowledgement for their bravery and dedication. CNN was busy covering the "No Kings" protest in which most protestors weren't entirely sure what they were protesting. If you were in Washington D.C. this weekend then Butterworth's was the place to be after the parade.

in ‘Who then can be saved?’, Dave continues the Mark  series by looking at chapter 10 verses 17-31. Dave talks about how eternal life cannot be earned or bought — it must be received through wholehearted trust in Jesus, not personal goodness, wealth, or status. 1. Are You Asking the Right Question? The rich young man asks, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” revealing a flawed mindset — as if eternal life can be achieved through effort or merit. Jesus corrects him, showing that only God is truly good, and eternal life is a gift, not a reward for goodness. 2. What (or Who) Are You Relying On? Though the man claims to have kept the commandments, Jesus exposes his true dependence — on wealth, not God. The call to sell all and follow Jesus highlights the real issue: his heart is tied to material things, not to God. Wealth, talent, family, or even religious performance cannot save — only Jesus can. 3. All Things Are Possible With God Jesus teaches that salvation is impossible by human standards but possible with God. The disciples, though flawed and ordinary, followed Jesus and were transformed. Like them, we are called to surrender completely and trust God, even when it costs us something. Eternal life is a gift, not a result of good behaviour or religious performance. • Jesus sees and loves us, even when we're misguided or attached to idols like money, comfort, or self-reliance. • True discipleship costs something, but the reward is infinitely greater — both now and in eternity. • Faith is trusting God, especially when things go wrong, rather than relying on health, wealth, family, or church structures. • God works through imperfect people, not because they are strong, but because they are surrendered.

First up, Georgetown law professor and former national legal director at the ACLU, David Cole, joins us to discuss the legal response to the Trump Administration's serial violations of the Constitution. Then Mike Ferner of Veterans for Peace checks in to update us halfway through his Fast for Gaza, 40 days of living on 250 calories per day, which is the average caloric intake of Palestinian survivors in Gaza. Finally, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Joe Holley, stops by to pay tribute to his mentor and colleague, the late crusading journalist, Ronnie Dugger, founder of the progressive Texas Observer.David Cole is the Honorable George J. Mitchell Professor in Law and Public Policy and former National Legal Director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). He writes about and teaches constitutional law, freedom of speech, and constitutional criminal procedure. He is a regular contributor to The New York Review of Books and is the legal affairs correspondent for The Nation.Trump is obviously not concerned about antisemitism. He's concerned about targeting schools because they are places where people can criticize the president, where people can think independently, are taught to think independently, and often don't support what the president is doing. He's using his excuse to target a central institution of civil society.David ColeThe decision on Trump versus the United States is only about criminal liability for criminal acts, not for unconstitutional acts. And violating the Constitution is not a crime. Every president has violated the Constitution probably since George Washington. That's not a crime.David ColeMike Ferner served in the Navy during the Vietnam War, and he is former National Director and current Special Projects Coordinator for Veterans for Peace. He is the author of Inside the Red Zone: A Veteran for Peace Reports from Iraq.Two hundred and fifty calories is technically, officially, a starvation diet, and we're doing it for 40 days. The people in Gaza have been doing it for months and months and months, and they're dying like crazy. That's the whole concern that we're trying to raise. And I'll tell you at the end of this fast, on the 40th day, we are not just going out silently. There are going to be some fireworks before we're done with this thing. So all I'm saying is: stay tuned.Mike Ferner: Special Projects Coordinator of Veterans for Peace on “FastforGaza”They're (The Veterans Administration is) being defamed, Ralph, for the same reason that those right-wing corporatists defamed public education. So they can privatize it. And that's exactly what they're trying to do with the VA. And I can tell you every single member of Veterans for Peace has got nothing but praise for the VA.Mike FernerJoe Holley was the editor of the Texas Observer in the early 1980s. A former staff writer at The Washington Post and a Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial writer and columnist at the Houston Chronicle, he is the author of eight books, mostly about Texas.He would talk to people, and he would find out things going on about racial discrimination, about farm workers being mistreated, all kind of stories that the big papers weren't reporting. And this one guy, young Ronnie Dugger, would write these stories and expose things about Texas that a lot of Texans just did not know.Joe Holley on the late progressive journalist, Ronnie DuggerHe knew the dark side of Texas, but he always had an upbeat personality. I had numerous conversations with Ronnie (Dugger), and he was ferociously independent.Ralph NaderNews 6/13/251. On Monday, Israeli forces seized the Madleen, the ship carrying activist Greta Thunberg and others attempting to bring food and other supplies past the Israeli blockade into Gaza, and detained the crew. The ship was part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and Thunberg had been designated an “Ambassador of Conscience,” by Amnesty International. The group decried her detention, with Secretary General Agnès Callamard writing, “Israel has once again flouted its legal obligations towards civilians in the occupied Gaza Strip and demonstrated its chilling contempt for legally binding orders of the International Court of Justice.” On Tuesday, CBS reported that Israel deported Thunberg. Eight other passengers refused deportation and the Jerusalem Post reports they remain in Israeli custody. They will be represented in Israeli courts by Adalah - The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel. One of these detainees is Rima Hassan, a French member of the European Parliament.2. Shortly before the Madleen was intercepted, members of Congress sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressing concern for the safety of these activists, citing the deadly 2010 raid of the Mavi Marmara, which ultimately resulted in the death of ten activists, including an American. This letter continued, “any attack on the Madleen or its civilian crew is a clear and blatant violation of international law. United Nations experts have called for the ship's safe passage and warned Israel to “refrain from any act of hostility” against the Madleen and its passengers…We call on you to monitor the Madleen's journey and deter any such hostile actions.” This letter was led by Rep. Rashida Tlaib, and drew signatures from Congressional progressives like Reps. Summer Lee, AOC, Ilhan Omar, Greg Casar, and others.3. On the other end of the political spectrum, Trump – ever unpredictable – seemed to criticize Israel's detention of Thunberg. In a press conference, “Trump was…asked about Thunberg's claim that she had been kidnapped.” The president responded “I think Israel has enough problems without kidnapping Greta Thunberg…Is that what she said? She was kidnapped by Israel?” The reporter replied “Yes, sir,” to which “Trump responded by shaking his head.” This from Newsweek.4. Of course, the major Trump news this week is his response to the uprising in Los Angeles. Set off by a new wave of ICE raids, protesters have clashed with police in the streets and Trump has responded by increasingly upping the ante, including threatening to arrest California Governor Gavin Newsom, per KTLA. Beyond such bluster however, Trump has moved to deploy U.S. Marines onto the streets of the nation's second-largest city. Reuters reports, “About 700 Marines were in a staging area in the Seal Beach area about 30 miles…south of Los Angeles, awaiting deployment to specific locations,” in addition to 2,100 National Guard troops. The deployment of these troops raises thorny legal questions. Per Reuters, “The Marines and National Guard troops lack the authority to makes arrests and will be charged only with protecting federal property and personnel,” but “California Attorney General Rob Bonta… [said] there was a risk that could violate an 1878 law that…forbids the U.S. military, including the National Guard, from taking part in civilian law enforcement.” Yet, despite all the tumult, these protests seem to have gotten the goods, so to speak: the City of Glendale announced it would, “end its agreement with…ICE to house federal immigration detainees.” All of this sets quite a scene going into Trump's military parade in DC slated for Saturday, June 14th.5. In classic fashion however, Trump's tough posture does not extend to corporate crime. Public Citizen's Rick Claypool reports, “Trump's DOJ just announced American corporations that engage in criminal bribery schemes abroad will no longer be prosecuted.” Claypool cites a June 9th memo from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, which reads, “Effective today, prosecutors shall…not attribute…malfeasance to corporate structures.” Claypool also cites a Wall Street Journal piece noting that “the DOJ has already ended half of its criminal investigations into corporate bribery in foreign countries and shrunk its [Foreign Corrupt Practices Act] unit down to 25 employees.”6. Americans can at least take small comfort in one thing: the departure of Elon Musk from the top rungs of government. It remains to be seen what exactly precipitated his final exit and how deep his rift with Trump goes – Musk has already backed down on his harshest criticisms of the president, deleting his tweet claiming Trump was in Epstein files, per ABC. Yet, this appears to be a victory for Steve Bannon and the forces he represents within Trump's inner circle. On June 5th, the New York Times reported that Bannon, “said he was advising the president to cancel all [Musk's] contracts and… ‘initiate a formal investigation of his immigration status'.” Bannon added, “[Musk] should be deported from the country immediately.'” Bannon has even called for a special counsel probe, per the Hill. Bannon's apparent ascendency goes beyond the Oval Office as well. POLITICO Playbook reports Bannon had a 20-minute-long conversation with Pennsylvania Democratic Senator John Fetterman on Monday evening – while Fetterman dined with Washington bureau chief for Breitbart, Matt Boyle – at Butterworth's, the DC MAGA “watering hole.” This also from the Hill.7. On the way out, the Daily Beast reports, “Elon Musk's goons at the Department of Government Efficiency transmitted a large amount of data—all of it undetected—using a Starlink Wi-Fi terminal they installed on top of the White House.” Sources “suggested that the [the installation of the Starlink terminal] was intended to bypass White House systems that track the transmission of data—with names and time stamps—and secure it from spies.” It is unknown exactly what data Musk and his minions absconded with, and for what purpose. We can only hope the public gets some answers.8. With Musk and Trump parting ways, other political forces are now seeking to woo the richest man in the world. Semafor reports enigmatic Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna, who represents Silicon Valley and chaired Bernie Sanders' campaign in California, “talked with one of…Musk's ‘senior confidants' …about whether the ex-DOGE leader…might want to help the Democratic Party in the midterms.” Khanna added, “Having Elon speak out against the irrational tariff policy, against the deficit exploding Trump bill, and the anti-science and anti-immigrant agenda can help check Trump's unconstitutional administration…I look forward to Elon turning his fire against MAGA Republicans instead of Democrats in 2026.” On the other hand, the Hill reports ex-Democrat Andrew Yang is publicly appealing to Musk for an alliance following Musk's call for the establishment of an “America Party.” Yang himself founded the Forward Party in 2021. Yang indicated Musk has not responded to his overtures.9. Meanwhile, the leadership of the Democratic Party appears to be giving up entirely. In a leaked Zoom meeting, DNC Chair Ken Martin – only elected in February – said, “I don't know if I wanna do this anymore,” per POLITICO. On this call, Martin expressed frustration with DNC Vice Chair David Hogg, blaming him for, “[destroying] any chance I have to show the leadership that I need to.” Hogg meanwhile has doubled down, defying DNC leadership by “wading into another primary,” this time for the open seat left by the death of Congressman Gerry Conolly in Virginia, the Washington Post reports. The DNC is still weighing whether to void Hogg's election as Vice Chair.10. Finally, in some good news from New York City, State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani appears to have closed the gap with disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo began the race with a 40-point lead; a new Data for Progress poll shows that lead has been cut down to just two points. Moreover, that poll was conducted before Mamdani was endorsed by AOC, who is expected to bring with her substantial support from Latinos and residents of Queens, among other groups. Notably, Mamdani has racked up tremendous numbers among young men, a demographic the Democratic Party has struggled to attract in recent elections. Cuomo will not go down without a fight however. The political nepo-baby has already secured a separate ballot line for the November election, meaning he will be in the race even if he loses the Democratic primary, and he is being boosted by a new million-dollar digital ad spend by Airbnb, per POLITICO. The New York City Democratic Primary will be held on June 24th.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Guest speaker Andy Arscott on Faith That Stands: Living for Jesus, Come What May. Andy talks about how faith is foundational to the Christian life. • Trust in Jesus is not just a concept—it's a daily decision. • God responds to faith, walks with us through trials, and provides peace. • Don't rely on feelings—anchor yourself in the truth of God's Word. • Turn worries into concerns and offer them to a caring God.The post Faith That Stands: Living for Jesus, Come What May first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

In this episode, I chat with the absolutely incredible Amy Butterworth - or as she's known online, Long COVID Rockstar. Amy lives with long COVID, and what she shares about rest, identity, and the invisible cost of simply existing in a capitalist world? It hit me hard.We talk about what it's like to live in a society that tells you your worth is tied to how much you can produce -  and what happens when your body says no more. Amy gets honest about disability, burnout, ego vs. grace, and the internal work it takes to stop apologising for existing.Together, we explore:

The years between 1865 and 1870 would bring a tangle of new challenges for the people of the south. Drought gripped the land with merciless fingers in 1865 and 1866, only to return with cruel insistence between 1868 and 1869. Livelihoods withered, landscapes turned brittle. And yet, amid the dust and desolation, there was a glint of promise on the horizon, a hint of glitter in the forecast. British Kaffraria — that volatile strip of land east of the Kei — had been the stage for repeated wars between the British Empire and the amaXhosa. By 1866, the inevitable had come to pass: the territory was formally annexed to the Cape. This was not a popular move in the Cape Parliament. Most members balked at the idea, not out of principle, but pocket — British Kaffraria was a drain on the Treasury, propped up entirely by funds from London. The Cape, in its self-conscious autonomy, wanted no part in the bill. But Attorney General William Porter reminded his fellow parliamentarians that their indignation was selective. The Cape itself, he said, could not “talk big and look big” when its own house was being kept warm with British money. Independence in name meant little, he warned, if the machinery of government still ticked by the grace of Empire coin. But before the ink was dry on the annexation, another, more immediate matter took precedence — the fate of the amaMfengu, along with the amaNgqika and amaGqunukhwebe. The structures of amaXhosa political authority had already been dismantled within British Kaffraria. Now, as the imperial tide rolled further inland, it was the amaMfengu who found themselves repositioned — this time as subjects to be moved, their loyalty rewarded not with land, but with a fresh dislocation. Soon, the area around Butterworth became an amaMfengu stronghold. Many local amaXhosa were absorbed into their ambit — politically subdued or socially assimilated. For the British, this migration had a twofold effect. It removed thousands of Black residents from British Kaffraria, freeing up land under Crown control. And it advanced a broader goal: clearing the way for the Cape Parliament to annex the territory, albeit reluctantly and under pressure from Westminster. Just to flick the future switch for a moment — Back to the Future, in 2003, a constellation of dignitaries descended on Phokeng for the coronation of Kgosi Leruo Molotlegi of the Bafokeng. That's near Rustenberg just for clarity. Among them were Nelson Mandela, Mangosuthu Buthelezi, First Lady Zanele Mbeki, and the Queen Mother of Lesotho. A drought pressed down on the land in 2003, dry and unforgiving, but the dusty heat did little to mute the occasion's quiet grandeur. For a small nation to command such presence — to draw the gaze of the region's most prominent figures — spoke to something more than mere ceremonial gravity. It hinted at a deeper, long-cultivated influence. This is the story of how the Bafokeng came to be recognised as one of South Africa's most quietly successful peoples — not by avoiding the tides of history, but by learning, early on, how to navigate them. From their dealings with the Boers and Paul Kruger, to their survival under apartheid's grip, the Bafokeng carved a path few expected — and fewer still understood. There's an almost whispered history here, a counterpoint to the dominant narrative of dispossession and defeat. The Bafokeng lived on land of consequence long before that significance was measured in ounces of platinum. It wasn't until the metal was prised from the earth beneath their feet that the rest of the country — and eventually, the world — began to pay attention. But the roots of their agency run deeper, older. They reach back to a time when Paul Kruger was still cobbling together unity among the Voortrekkers, long before his epic confrontations with the British had begun.

It hinted at a deeper, long-cultivated influence. This is the story of how the Bafokeng came to be recognised as one of South Africa's most quietly successful peoples — not by avoiding the tides of history, but by learning, early on, how to navigate them. From their dealings with the Boers and Paul Kruger, to their survival under apartheid's grip, the Bafokeng carved a path few expected — and fewer still understood. There's an almost whispered history here, a counterpoint to the dominant narrative of dispossession and defeat. The Bafokeng lived on land of consequence long before that significance was measured in ounces of platinum. It wasn't until the metal was prised from the earth beneath their feet that the rest of the country — and eventually, the world — began to pay attention. But the roots of their agency run deeper, older. They reach back to a time when Paul Kruger was still cobbling together unity among the Voortrekkers, long before his epic confrontations with the British had begun.

In Grab a Towel, visiting speaker Andy Arscott looks at serving in the church. Andy reminds us that Jesus himself came to serve – not to be served – and by serving in whatever area we are needed, we are honouring him and doing as he did. Andy talks about the fact that serving includes the more ‘mundane’ jobs in the church – cleaning, putting out chairs, serving in youth, serving drinks – as well as the ‘front of house’ jobs like preaching. He also reminds us that serving sometimes doesn’t feel like serving at all; attending a life group can be serving because we are supporting the other members of the group, with the added bonus of being supported ourselves. Ultimately, Andy urges us to ‘grab a towel’ and ask ‘How can I serve?’ It’s what Jesus did.The post Andy Arscott: Grab a Towel first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

Visiting speaker Graham Webb of Jubilee Church Liverpool on how the church should be a diverse body: young and old, black and white, rich and poor, cautious and risk-taking. Why? Because God brings together people who think and live differently, and that is a strength, not a weakness. Graham looks at Romans 14, which recounts how the early church in Rome faced conflicts over dietary laws and Sabbath observance between Jewish and Gentile Christians. Rather than argue, Paul urged believers to accept one another, recognising that each person stands before God, not one another. What should we learn from this? Don't judge. Whether someone eats meat or not, or worships on Saturday or Sunday, we are not to condemn but to encourage.The post Graham Webb: Unity in diversity first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

Dave Frodsham of Jubilee Church Wirral continues the ‘Real Jesus’ series by looking at Mark 9: 23-29. In ‘His Kingdom comes with prayer’, Dave  looks at how prayer truly changes situations, people and lives – and how a relationship with Jesus is vital in order to see God's kingdom advance in our lives and communities. He makes several key points, including: 1. Prayer Opens the Door to God's Kingdom 2. Faith Must Be Rooted in Jesus 3. We Need the Presence, Promises, and Power of God 4. We Must Seek God's Manifest Presence Are you truly seeking God – his presence, his promises, and his power? Prayer is the key to participating in God's kingdom. Without it, we lack the power and intimacy that we need to live transformed and transformative lives. Prayer isn't optional for those who want to see God's kingdom come – it's essential. Through prayer, we encounter God's presence, stand on his promises, and walk in his power.The post Dave Frodsham: His kingdom comes with prayer first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

Chris Butterworth on Matthew 21:33–45 – the parable of the tenants, where Jesus warns religious leaders that the Kingdom of God will be taken from them and given to those who will produce its fruit. After you have listened to the message, consider the following questions: – What do you think is the most important take-home message, and why? – How can we ensure that we have a connected life with Jesus? – Have you experienced God's pruning in your life? What was it like? How did it change you? – What steps are you going to take to start or continue to bear kingdom fruit? Is anything holding you back from releasing God's kingdom?The post Chris Butterworth: The fruit of the Kingdom first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

In ‘Resurrection Roots, Servant Life’. Rick explores how Jesus' death and resurrection reshape what it means to live a life of purpose, significance, and service. Rooted in Mark 9:30–37, he teaches that a true Christian life is built on the miraculous foundation of resurrection and expressed through humble servanthood. The resurrection isn't just a belief—it's the root of the Christian life. And the fruit of that life is servant-hearted living. Rather than striving for worldly greatness, Jesus calls us to follow him in humility, service, and supernatural hope.The post Rick Robertson: Resurrection roots, servant life first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

Tim Hughes of Jubilee Church Wirral reflects on spiritual experiences where God feels tangibly present, using a U2 concert moment as an opening illustration. He suggests that all humans long for experiences beyond the material, pointing to the existence of God, specifically the God of the Bible. For you, that might not be U2 playing Where the Streets Have No Name, but it’s likely to be something. Tim talks about how how God meets Moses and Elijah on Mount Sinai and Peter, James, and John on Mount Hermon, revealing his divine glory. All three stories highlight humanity's longing for God, the ways God chooses to reveal Himself, and the ultimate fulfilment of that longing in Jesus Christ. Tim encourages us to seek God's presence above all else, listen to Him, and trust His plans. The post Tim Hughes: When God walks in the room first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

Dave Frodsham of Jubilee Church Wirral on why the resurrection of Jesus demands a personal decision for us today. Dave reiterates the fact that we must decide what we believe about Jesus – is he Lord, liar, or a lunatic? He emphasises that there is strong historical evidence for Jesus' life, death, and resurrection — more reliable than many accepted historical records. If Jesus really rose from the dead, it validates his claims and demands a response. If you want to trust Jesus, salvation isn't about having everything together—it starts with confession, belief, and a decision.

Andrew Chu reflects on the trial of Jesus from Mark 14:43 to Mark 15:20, breaking it into four parts to explore how Jesus' identity remains unshaken, even as everything is stripped away from Him—status, followers, reputation, and support.. Andrew talks about how we often talk about our families or our jobs when we first introduce ourselves to people and talk about who we are. But what happens when these things are taken away? Are we still the same person? During the week leading to His crucifixion, Jesus loses everything—respect, voice, position, friends. Yet he remains fully Himself: Rabbi, Prophet, King, and Friend. His identity is not built on what others say or take from Him – and because He held onto who He was, we are now free to find who we are in Him. The post Andrew Chu: Who is Jesus when everything is taken away? first appeared on Jubilee Church Wirral.

Kate Kennedy meets musicians who, like her, had to stop playing after injury and reconsider their relationship with their instruments. We all know that listening to music can have a positive impact on wellbeing and mental health. But what about the performer? The truth is, for anyone wanting to turn professional, this is a highly competitive and pressurised environment often driven in part by fear and anxiety. It's a problem that can have a disproportionate effect on young people - which is why trumpeter Rebecca Toal and cellist Hattie Butterworth started their podcast, Things Musicians Don't Talk About, to try to break the taboo of not acknowledging the difficulties with mental illness that many musicians face. They talk to Kate about their personal experience of 'the system' for training musicians that can so easily break down, often resulting in crippling anxiety and burn-out. Obsessive behaviour and eating disorders are not uncommon as people try to gain some control over the endless cycle of practice and performance. By creating the podcast, Rebecca and Hattie have found a creative way to use their experiences to forge a new and less damaging path for themselves, but also to help others by sharing musicians' experiences honestly.

Hearing Christian stories in their triumphs and challenges is always inspiring.  In this episode we're tracking the journey of musician, songwriter, worship team member and church planter, Jesse Butterworth.  While many Christian lives start with their roots in early family life, most blossom later as we grow, mature and come to a true relationship with Jesus, in a real way.  And every story is unique.  Jesse's "moment" came in a dorm room listening to James Taylor. It was at this same Christian College that he hooked up with 3 other like-minded musician "want-to-be's" and started  a rag tag rock and roll band that led to an early signing to a record label, recording in Nashville and an album that won them multiple DOVE award nominations and a chance to play on the televised Dove Awards show.   All happening at the age of 22.  A crazy, God driven,  career trajectory!  A career that saw a dramatic change for Jesse in an instant,  while on stage playing a 5 minute 80's rock medley.  You'll hear about Jesse's recording journey to the Abby Road Studios and playing the same piano that John Lennon did, and singing through the same microphone that Elton, the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Adelle, and others sang on over the years.   A dream come true.  You can sample the album  “All The Gold I've Struck” recorded at Abby Road and learn more about Jesse's work at: https://www.jessebutterworth.com/You can also watch the hilariously fun video Our Good Old Days that we talk about in the pod.Our conversation is filled with fun and laughter and hopefully some inspiration.  Don't miss a word of it.  Oh and you can help us grow our podcast audience by sharing this with a friend, "liking" it and leaving a review.  It really helps spread the word.God Bless."Amazing Greats" is a library of interviews with highly successful people who have amazing career and life stories and who share how God has impacted their journey.

Today, that board is called the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery® (ABFAS).  The primary function of ABFAS is to certify qualified foot and ankle surgeons. Initially, we offered a single certification in foot and ankle surgery. Today, ABFAS offers board certification in foot surgery or foot and reconstructive rearfoot/ankle (RRA) surgery.  Prior to achieving ABFAS Board Certification, candidates must become ABFAS Board Qualified in Foot Surgery or ABFAS Board Qualified in Foot and RRA Surgery. To become ABFAS Board Qualified, DPMs must complete a three-year residency program and pass ABFAS Part I Board Qualification Exams (or the equivalent Final-year In-training Exams). Once board qualified (or "board eligible"), candidates must pass the rigorous Case Review process to achieve ABFAS Board Certification.  ABFAS board-certified surgeons, called ABFAS Diplomates, engage in a process of continuous learning to remain certified through the LEAD Continuous Certification Program."  https://www.abfas.org/about-us https://bakodx.com/ https://bmef.org/ www.explorepodmed.org https://podiatrist2be.com/ https://higherlearninghub.com/
