Today is episode 100 with my very own running coach and elite marathoner Jonny Mellor. Jonny is a 2:09 marathoner and 10th fastest Briton of all time. He was 2020 British marathon champion and the winner of the 2022 Manchester marathon. He has also been my coach for over 4 years. On this episode, we talk about Jonny's career, insights into how he races and trains for marathons, elite tips for everyday marathoners as well as fitting everything around a young family and running a coaching business. You can follow Jonny and JM coaching on instagram and the website: https://www.instagram.com/jm_run_coaching/ https://www.jmcoaching.co.uk/ Thank you so much for your support over the first 100 episodes and here's to the next 100!

Something fundamental but often overlooked that helps me to perform in my own running is my support network - especially my inner circle. Louise and the kids are my biggest cheerleaders but I also have my coach Jonny Mellor, my Dad and brothers and am lucky to have lots of running friends, clients and podcast listeners that push me on too. In this episode, I explore why it's important to have a strong circle and the concepts of 'the sum of the 5 people you spend most time with' and 'plus, equals, minus' - surrounding yourself with teachers, peers and students.

In this bonus episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Jonny Mellor (@JonnyMellorArt) who is showing in the New Art Fair 2024, at the Truman Brewery, London, from 27-29 September 2024I am an artist strongly influenced by minimalism and geometric abstraction. I use this visual language to create paintings, prints and hand cut paper art . The exploration of colour, process, materials, space and form are central to my practice.I am interested in taking forms, shapes and patterns and combining these with carefully considered colour combinations. I am continually striving to achieve balance and harmony within my works composition and colour pallet.Amongst the barrage of visual stimulation and the overall increasingly chaoticness of life, minimalist art is at rest, creating a quiet harmony and balance which offers the viewer a space of calmness and contemplation.

How great a transformation is available for all who believe in Jesus! We see the greatest rags to riches story can be ours through him.

In the midst of a catalogue of errors from those speaking with Jesus, we see the crucial need to see beyond appearances, under the surface, and consider the reality of God in all things.

Join Tom O'Toole from The Broadcast Network in conversation with Jonny Mellor, leader of Sputnik: Faith + Arts, as they talk about his new course, 'Releasing Artists to Renew Culture', on The Broadcast Network. To find out more about Sputnik, you can head to their website:

Jonny shares phenomenally honestly about his own experiences of doubt, including a crisis of faith in recent years. What do we do when we experience huge doubts in our walk with God? This passage and Jonny's story are sent to help us!

We don't have the privilege of seeing Jesus physically (just yet), but we're told in this passage about the importance of seeing him. What does this mean for us? And what does believing in Him really look like for us today?

Jesus does some terrifying stuff in this passage, feeding people with miraculous power and even walking on water. Is the disciples resulting fear something we should also experience? Or should our fears be comforted by knowing Jesus?

Jesus was the true Son of God! In his life, we see - among other things - an example for what living as a child of God truly looks like. Here, we see that to be a child of God is to be a dependent doer.

Jesus' conversation with the woman at the well shows us our deepest needs in life, and how Jesus can meet them.

We find Jesus in this passage NOT gentle, meek and mild, but overflowing with anger. What's that about? Is passionate, zealous, even angry emotion good, bad or ugly? What does it look like to be zealous like Jesus?

We see the conclusion of the whole book of Revelation, with vivid, soul-stirring imagery of life with God in a renewed world! Jonny urges us to thirst for all that the passage puts before us.

What difference do our prayers make? How does God respond when we call out to Him? We look at Psalm 18 before turning to prayer!

Evil has had many names and many faces in this book but in Revelation 20, evil is finally defeated! Amidst some pretty obscure details, Jonny shows us how the coming downfall of evil motivates us to persevere in our walk with Jesus.

'Babylon' is a big deal in Revelation and it's not a good place! But is 'fleeing' Babylon the only posture of the Christian in the world today? How do we flee while also serving and engaging our world?

In a dramatic passage, we say goodbye to one of the major players in Revelation - Babylon. But as Babylon falls, we see two starkly different responses. What about you? Are you for or against Babylon?

Jesus thinks that what we do with our money reveals and shapes the health of the whole person. What does he mean? How do we live in light of this teaching of Christ?

Today Tom speaks to @joannaclay_design to unpack some of the topics that Jonny Mellor explored in our last episode.  To hear the full version of Wendy Mann's talk click here: https://emmanueloxford.org/talks/are-you-listening-wendy-mann

Revelation gets even crazier with the introduction of a dragon! The symbolic storytelling has much to teach us, and Jonny takes us into the story.

On the morning we heard the news that one of our church family had died, Jonny took us back into Revelation 7 looking for hope.

Jonny wraps up our series by showing us the wartime tone of the end of the letter, and encouraging us to put on our armour and fight.

At the baptism of Phoebe & Dave, we explored a passage of practical contrast for Christians and those who don't follow Jesus.

In the penultimate talk of the series, Jonny opens up the imagery of us as a temple, exploring what this meant in the ancient world and what it means for us today.

Jonny hones in on the biblical metaphor of Christians as 'foreigners'. By drawing on Israel's experience in exile, he shows us what it looks like for us to live as foreigners and exiles in Birmingham today.

Long-distance runner Jonny Mellor joins former athlete and LJMU lecturer Kelly Massey to discuss his preparations for the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. From the beginning of his professional running career as one of the first Sport Scholars at LJMU, to being signed with Team New Balance Manchester and qualifying for the Games, Jonny offers a fascinating insight into his preparations as the only male runner selected to represent Team England in the marathon. In conversation with, Kelly Massey, the latest edition of the 1823 podcast delves into the minds of elite athletes. From crying during physiotherapy sessions to encounters with Usain Bolt, Jonny and Kelly – a Commonwealth silver and bronze medal holder - share a half hour window into their lives ahead of the beginning of the highly anticipated Birmingham Games.

As part of our online content for Summer Sunday gatherings in homes, Jonny unpacked the implications of Jesus picture of 'yeast in the dough'. We see how this simple metaphor has huge relevance for our lives outside the gathered church.

Jonny unpacks the immense fuel for prayer in Paul's own prayer for the Ephesian church.

Jonny helps us see the importance of knowing God better, and shows us several key ways of pursuing that in our lives.

Deconstructing faith is a contentious topic. Some see it as highly destructive, others deeply enlightening and, for others, it is an inevitability that every person of faith will have to face at one time or another. As we continue our episodes asking 'why we're still Christians?' Jonny opens on why he is still the type of Christian that he is and how his faith has changed in the last few years.

As our journey as CC West wraps up in the coming weeks, Jonny set our endings and beginnings in the context of God and the wonderful story He's inviting us all into as we move forward...

West joined with South for Easter Sunday, and saw some of the powerful switcharound that Jesus does to our lives and our deaths.

Katie, Cal, Sean and Dave speak to a Liverpool Harrier who trains in Stockport with Team New Balance. Jonny Mellor won the 2022 Manchester Marathon as well as 2022 Wilmslow Half Marathon. Jonny speaks about training as a junior, his love hate relationship with cross country and his post long run cravings. Along with chatting about the training setup with Team New Balance, Jonny chats about the training towards Manchester Marathon and of course the win. With the team back to full(ish) strength with Katie back from covid, the team discuss the pressure of social media and strava when training. In training Sean has bull blown maranioa has well and truely set in, Dave is getting the mileage up, Katie is also getting mileage up but has a small niggle in the calf still, and Cal is missing his crunchie nut cereal!

To the CC South family, Jonny shared important and difficult news from our wider Churchcentral family. From Isaiah 6, he then called us to look to God in a time of endings and beginnings...

Jonny brings the final of Jesus' message to the churches. It contains some of Jesus' sharpest words, and some of his most comforting too.

The letter to the church in Pergamum is challenging, but for those with ears to hear, Jesus' words have the power to do us so much good! Jonny walks us through...

How do we experience God today? By the Holy Spirit! Jonny introduces us to Him and His work.

The second aspect of being a disciple is our love for our neighbours. Jonny unpacks this key idea with three practical applications.

What does it really mean to 'put into practice the teachings of Jesus?'. Jesus helpfully summarised it into two main parts. Jonny explores the first of those...

In conversation with Jonny Mellor

As we focus this year much more intentionally on what it means to follow Jesus, Jonny begins our January mini-series by exploring the meaning of the word 'disciple'.

We'd all love to be a 'good' person, right? What does it mean and how can it happen? Jonny explores.

What is joy? How do we get joy? How is the Holy Spirit the key to bringing us deep and lasting joy? Jonny explores!

One week out from the London Marathon, we spoke to 2:10 man and Team New Balance Manchester athlete, Jonny Mellor. Jonny gave us his perspective ahead of one of the biggest races on the calendar, as well as talking through his career so far, and much more. This was a fascinating episode, as Jonny covered some of the highs and lows of competing at the elite level; including what it was like to miss out on Olympic Selection and how he's bounced back to take on new goals. There's lessons and advice in here for athletes at all levels. Enjoy! 

The relationship between Christianity and the arts has always been one of extremes. For long periods of time and in different cultural settings, the two parties have got on fabulously: strengthening faith, promoting beauty, booming out an arresting prophetic voice and working for the common good. At other times… well, it's been a bit of a car crash. Recently, there has been a growing feeling that it's time to attend to this relationship again. Fix broken bridges. Re-examine sources of contention. Explore new ways to co-exist for the flourishing of all. Faith in the Arts is a new podcast that wants to move this conversation forward. And this is our pilot! We're raising money on Kickstarter to record, produce and promote the first season. In this first episode, we introduce the team: Marlita Hill, founder of the Kingdom Artist Initiative as well as a choreographer and author, residing in Southern California. Alastair Gordon, co-founder of Morphē Arts, painter and art tutor at Leith School of Art, Edinburgh. Jonny Mellor, co-founder of Sputnik Faith and Arts, hip-hop artist and church leader, living in Birmingham, UK. Marlita, Alastair and Jonny discuss what they love about the arts, how their experiences of faith spaces affected them, and why there is still need for conversation and encouragement among artists who belong to the church: why there's still room for one more podcast.

Jonny looks into this victorious psalm to consider how we can not only be those who abide in Jesus, but those who walk forward in faith, abiding as we go.

At Churchcentral South, we begin a new series in the Psalms, exploring how we can remain near to - or 'abide' with - Jesus. Jonny opens up the first Psalm to get us started...

With so much talk of KEEP GOING, this letter can be a touch relentless! What if we're tired?! What if we're aware our efforts can never be enough? As we finish the series, praise the Lord, we see that we're not the only one doing the work...

Jonny opens up another song of God's people, this time the stirring anthem that is Psalm 91.

How does our faith impact our employment, earnings and work environment? Jonny explores.

We dive into our second '40 narrative', journeying with Moses up Mt. Sinai. What was he doing up the mountain? And how can we do the same? Jonny & friends explore.

Jonny brings a message for Easter Sunday, and speaks to the power of the resurrection to turn our lives upside down.

How are you doing? It's a tough question right now. Jonny unpacks Paul's insights into what 'doing well' really means...

Jonny explores the theme of 'transition' in the Bible, exploring how we deal with transitions in our lives, in our world and ultimately, how God calls us to the greatest transition of all.

This week on TRACK! we are delighted to be joined by marathon runner Jonny Mellor. Jonny and George discuss the upcoming Olympic Marathon trials at Kew Gardens, the potential Tokyo Olympic Games, Jonny's training group and all things running. In the pre show Robbie, Cat, George and Ben chat about the continued discussion surrounding the consultation process of equalising distances for male and female XC events in the UK, Keely Hodgkinson's amazing indoor 800m race and the chances of LDN Marathon taking place in October. Thanks for listening, we hope you enjoy.

This episode we explore how christian artists can help re-shape a post-covid culture. Tom interviews Jonny Mellor, director of 'Sputnik'. Sputnik is a community of artists seeking to inspire connect and fund faith-driven creatives.If you want to find out more about Sputnik, here are some links to places mentioned in the episode:Sputnik website- www.sptnk.co.uk'In the rough' exhibition- 2020 by Artists: An emotional response to lockdown - Sputnik (sptnk.co.uk) Sputnik Slack- www.sptnk.co.uk/slack

If we want to make an influence 'out there', first God needs to work on us 'in here', in the hidden setting of our homes and our households. Jonny unpacks the importance of this and calls each of us, whatever our living situation, to serve the Lord at home.

Well the Two Men on the Run got the chance to catch-up with Team New Balance Manchester and 2020 British Marathon Champion Jonny Mellor. Jonny has an impressive range with a sub 4 minute mile clocking of 3:58.76, a 5k best 13:31.21 and a 10k best that saw him win the Night of 10,000m and become British 10,000m champion of 28:42. He's also this clocked two extremely impressive 2:10 clockings first in Seville back in February with 2:10.03 and then when he won the British Marathon Championships at this years London Marathon with 2:10.38. He is the fastest British Marathoner of 2020 and 18th All Time. The guys dive into all things with Jonny from the craziness of this year which started with Jonny smashing the Olympic Qualifying Standard for Tokyo only for the Olympics to be cancelled, his strange bubble and tagging experience at this years London Marathon and then back to his early days growing up on the Wirral and Training at Liverpool Harriers under Dave Evans, before joining Steve Vernon and the Team New Balance Manchester. Jon-Jo does his best to get a load of free coaching advice off Jonny who offers coaching plans and one to one coaching over at https://www.jmcoaching.co.uk/ (JM Coaching ). We wish Jonny the best of luck as he heads into the Olympic Trials that have now been arranged for March 26th 2021 and his surely concrete selection to represent Great Britain at the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games.

Jonny unpacks Jesus' famous invitation to be those who ask, seek & knock in our lives generally, and specifically in prayer. From South on 25th October, and West on 8th November.

Jonny explores materialism and more in this look at Jesus' teaching on money. From CC North and CC South on Sunday 27th September.

Fasting is something that people do in the Bible, and it’s something that Christians have done through the ages, but the Bible never directly tells us that we should do it. Therefore, why should we bother? Jonny (and friends) puts forward the case for fasting as we continue our series on the Sermon on The Mount.

Jonny brings us the next in our Sermon On The Mount series, looking at Jesus' teaching on sensitive areas of relationships and morality. From June 14th.

After Jesus' very direct teaching on anger and lust, he moves on in Matthew 5:33-37, to the seemingly niche topic of vows and oaths. In this message, Jonny explains why, rather than being a lull in the action, this teaching is very important and very relevant to us today. From June 21st.

Jonny Mellor is a professional New Balance and OTE nutrition athlete who competes for New Balance Manchester Track Club.Jonny Mellor has recently run 2hrs 10min 03s to qualify for the Tokyo Olympic Games that were supposed to be this year 2020, however, due to the outbreak of COVID-19 Mellor has had to re-evalute his next marathon to show selectors his current form for the postponed Tokyo Olympic Games in July 2021.We talk about what training he is doing during COVID-19, his plan to race the Seville marathon instead of the London marathon in April, what his weekly training looks like, his fuelling strategies during the marathon, his great relationship with his coach Steve Vernon and also let's us into some insightful tips on the carbon fibre running shoes.You can follow Mellor's journey on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/j77nyy/?hl=en and also his business website - https://www.jmcoaching.co.uk

What Is This Crisis Teaching Us About Ourselves? | Talk & Interviews | Jonny Mellor and friends by Churchcentral Birmingham

Jonny unpacks what it looks like for followers of Jesus to be salt and light in lockdown and beyond. From Sunday 10th May 2020.

As we continue our look into the foundations of Churchcentral South, Jonny opens up the subject of mission. What are we here for as a church? What does God have for us? How do we play our part?

In this talk for Churchcentral West and North, Jonny takes us into another angle on the story of God, the story of God's mission. Could it be that there's a glorious job for us to join with in our Father's family business? (The start is missing, where Jonny asks us to imagine our dream job...)

With all the challenges of living as Christians in a culture that doesn't love Jesus, how are we to go about 'sharing our faith'? By giving an overview of Peter's thinking on this theme, Jonny urges us to consider not simply the importance of words, but of our lives.

The idea of suffering for our faith is something that, for Christians living in Britain in the late 20th/early 21st century, always seemed like something that happened to other people, in other places. However, in the present climate, it seems to be becoming a more immediate possibility. The same was true of the first readers of 1 Peter, and Peter’s advice to them is incredibly relevant to us today, especially the seemingly strange exhortation- to ‘be very glad’.

Living as Christians in exile is not for the half-hearted! In this passage Peter explains to us what it looks like in our day to day lives, and though at first glance, some of what he says may not look particularly inviting, Jonny explains why practical Christianity is just as wonderful as the salvation we celebrate.

At the beginning of a busy term, it’s helpful to remember that our activity will be important but it will not be decisive. As the world pushes us towards anxiety, never ending consumption and ceaseless activity, Jonny looks at how we can build rhythms of stillness into our lives to powerfully declare that we are not God, God is God.

Join us again for part 2 of our interview with Jonny Mellor, leader of the Christian art collective, Sputnik. We discussed everything from how Public Enemy shook up Jonny's world, to whether or not Ezekiel would be welcome in your church. Join Chris, Abby and Kat as they offer their thoughts and also discuss the upcoming student climate strike. The post Ep 13 – World changing art with Jonny Mellor (pt 2) appeared first on We Are Tearfund.

Have you ever had a piece of art move you? Perhaps a beautiful painting, a rousing melody, or even a cliffhanger on Hollyoaks? Ok maybe not the last one... but whatever you enjoy, there's no hiding art's ability to impact us. So could art positively impact the world around us too? We spoke about exactly that with Jonny Mellor, who as well as leading a Church in Birmingham, also leads a collective of Christian artists called Sputnik. Join Dan, Chris, Emma and Abi as they dive deep into the art world and also discuss the recent fires in the Amazon. The post Ep 12 – World changing art with Jonny Mellor (pt 1) appeared first on We Are Tearfund.

Critical, finger-pointing, slow to think the best of others - it's not a great list! But, tragically, even the church of Jesus can fall into such graceless judgmentalism. By considering our past, our future, and who God is, Jonny helps us move instead towards a generosity of spirit.

As the Blueprint series wraps up, Jonny helps us think through what godly wisdom looks like in families. Seeing that our families must be 'for' something bigger than themselves, we then saw how this applied to us as a church as well.

To Whom Would We Go? - Jonny Mellor by Oasis Church Birmingham

One of the most basic questions a human being can ask is 'who am I?'. As Jonny outlines a biblical picture of identity, he explains why we have to consider not just one, or even two, but three different identities, as we seek to understand who we are and who we could be. (Preached at West+North only).

What does the resurrection of Jesus really mean? On Easter Sunday, Jonny shows us how Jesus beating the grave impacts our futures, the future of the universe and even our lives in the here and now.

As part of our Good News series (and our Big Questions mornings), Jonny looked at the question of whether there's any evidence to support the claim that Jesus of Nazareth came back from the dead. NOTE: Final section of Jonny's talk has been left out, it contained personal stories not for online sharing.

Two of the most noticeable things about Daniel are that he navigated life in exile brilliantly and that he had a disciplined, faith filled prayer life. In Daniel 9, we zoom in on what that prayer life looked like and get practical as to how we can order our private, devotional lives to be like Daniel.

In today’s chapter, we see God bring about an incredible change in the King of Babylon. But it was only possible because one of his people chose to participate in Babylon. Jonny opens up the amazing story we find in Daniel 4 and asks what we can learn from the incredible balancing act that Daniel plays as he faithfully serves God at the centre of Babylonian culture.

In the disorientation of exile, two questions plagued the people of God - does God still rule here, and does God still act here? The same questions ring true in our day...

As we finish up our series in Genesis 1-3, Jonny looks at the consequences of the sin of Adam and Eve, how it's impact is still felt today, and how Jesus comes to put right what they put wrong.

In this series, we’ve already seen so many deep and profound foundational truths about God, ourselves and our world. Today, Jonny pulls together some of these strands and asks: how practically should these things affect how we live? How can we, as those made in God’s image, bring order and life in the chaos?

What is a good person? How does God relate to that, if at all? What would it take for us to become "good people" and is that possible? Jonny explores.

Temples were vitally important in the ancient world across all sorts of different civilisations. In 2 Chronicles, we read about the building of the Jewish temple by Solomon. But there was no temple for Israel’s God before that, and certainly not one in Genesis 1-3. Or was there?

To get the most out of these famous but highly controversial chapters, we need to clear away a few obstacles. In our introduction to this series, Jonny Mellor and Liz Brown present us with all three chapters and some signposts to help us to hear from God most clearly in this series and beyond.

Recording of hangout with Jonny Mellor on 'Why Should Churches Care About the Arts'?

Image EDIT REMOVE Christianity has always been countercultural, and that's what we're going to talk about on the show today. We hold a lot of positions that are rapidly falling out of favor in American culture, and as a result, we have to be prepared for the reality that our life is going to look a little bit different than that of our neighbor. Maybe in the past, there was kind of a Christian coating that blanketed American culture, but that is becoming less and less true. Let me show you what I'm talking about. 1. The Desirability of Storytellers by Ed Yong from The Atlantic 2. Are Christians Called To Influence Society? A Note Of Caution by Jonny Mellor from Think Theology 3. Magnanimity: The Balm for Our Brutalized Public Discourse by Stephen M. Klugewicz from The Imaginative Conservative 4. Why I Would Never File A Lawsuit Saying My Child With Cystic Fibrosis Should Not Have Been Born by Mary Vought from The Federalist 5. How Celebration Fuels Achievement by Stu McLaren from MichaelHyatt.com All music from audionautix.com.

Following on from Aly Dixon’s chat with Claire last week, we’ve a pretty marathon-heavy pod. Mo Farah is hopping on a plane to get good at running them; Jonny Mellor won’t be getting on a plane, despite having raced one really fast; and Dewi Griffiths...

In a time of open questions, Jonny Mellor and James Ashley (MSci in Human Evolution) address a number of issues related to Jonny's talk 'Has Science Buried God?'.

On this week’s show it was the big dance on the big island, what is harder, Kona or Berkley Marathon, Amsterdam was rapid, the Kawauchi’s keep it in the family, should athlete’s be micro-chipped and you tell us what you’re most scared of. Super-swift 2.12 Berlin marathoner and Tokyo 2020 hopeful Jonny Mellor joins us, Tony is here with his trials from Birmingham, your rate you rate, look amazing in your MT kit, and tell us where you’re running next.

On this fortnights show we talk to top British road runner Jonny Mellor about racing abroad. We discuss his beige diet, lady and the tramp style spaghetti sessions, and scrambling for post race Swiss chocolate. Oh, and Jermaine and Shaun tell you why you should get nasty when racing in foreign climes.
