Drop us a note about the podcast. Fear has a way of shrinking your world down to whatever headline is loudest and whatever person seems most powerful. We push back on that impulse by reading Psalm 118 out loud and letting it set the order of operations: God first, refuge first, obedience first. “The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear” isn't sentimental, it's a claim about where courage actually comes from when life gets ugly and trust in people starts to wobble.From there, we move through John 12 as Jesus approaches Passover, Mary anoints His feet, and the crowds celebrate a King who rides in on a donkey. It's a vivid reminder that real worship can look wasteful to cynical eyes, that betrayal often hides behind moral talk, and that God's plan keeps moving even when leaders try to clamp down on it. We also read Proverbs on marriage and speak plainly about responsibility, satisfaction, and faithfulness inside the covenant, plus Proverbs 15 on wisdom, humility, and the kind of words God delights in.We then honor Medal of Honor recipient John Edward Butts and reflect on leadership under fire, before shifting into America's Christian heritage with a look at the stated Christian purposes behind Yale and Princeton. Whether you're here for Bible reading, Christian marriage guidance, faith and culture, or Christian education history, the thread stays consistent: no policy can replace repentance, and no institution can fix what only God can heal.Subscribe for more, share this with someone who needs steadier footing, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.

Local Elections: What do they mean for active travel?

The recent local elections have created a national battle for power within the ruling Labour Party. After suffering substantial losses to Reform UK and the Green Party, even traditionally safe Labour councils have changed hands or been thrown into “no overall control”. Across the country, Reform UK gained 1,452 seats, the Greens gained 441, while Labour lost 1,498 seats.In this episode of Streets Ahead, Laura and Adam focus on the local fallout of those elections; this is the type of politics closest to local people, and it's also the structure used to deliver sustainable and active travel schemes.Joining Laura and Adam are two guests with a deep understanding of local politics:Cllr John Morris, a Labour Councillor in Newham - Labour lost control of the Council and saw a surge in Independent candidates taking seats, leaving Newham in no overall control - but with a pro-car Labour mayor, Forhad Hussain. John was Deputy Cabinet Member for Highways and Sustainable Transport under the previous administration.Martin Price, outgoing Chair of Better Streets for Birmingham, a campaign group focused on safer streets and active travel. Birmingham is another one of those councils thrown into No Overall Control - and in the wider West Midlands, there is now an existing Labour Metro Mayor, 2x Reform Councils, 1x Labour Council and 4x No Overall Control.Links:John Morris' blog, on No Such Thing As A Safe Seat https://plaistovian.substack.com/p/there-is-no-such-thing-as-a-safeOn Birmingham's plan to become a big Low Traffic Neighbourhood: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/oct/04/birmingham-to-become-a-super-sized-low-traffic-neighbourhoodAnd how that plan was inspired by the Belgian city of Ghent: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/jan/20/how-a-belgian-port-city-inspired-birminghams-car-free-ambitionsNewham's Living Streets local group: https://www.livingstreets.org.uk/get-involved/local-groups/newham-local-group/And our interview with the late Waseem Zaffar, formerly Cabinet Member for Transport and Environment at Birmingham City Council, who sadly died this year https://shows.acast.com/streets-ahead/episodes/episode-9-the-west-midlandsHis successor, Liz Clements, also featured on the podcast, as part of a panel discussion https://shows.acast.com/streets-ahead/episodes/live-from-london-walking-and-cycling-conferenceFor ad-free listening, behind-the-scenes and bonus content and to help support the podcast - head to (https://www.patreon.com/StreetsAheadPodcast).

In this episode, we explore what the public think and feel about crime and justice, with Dr Tom McNeil, CEO of The JABBS Foundation for Women and Girls and former Assistant Police and Crime Commissioner for the West Midlands. In this discussion Edwina and Tom look at how attitudes are shaped not just by facts, but by media coverage, political messaging, personal experience, and powerful emotions like fear, anger, and empathy. We hear about the links between trauma, poverty, abuse and women's involvement in the justice system, and why understanding these pathways matters for shaping fairer and more effective responses to crime. The conversation also touches on bias in how women are judged, the impact of sending primary carers to prison, and the limits of imprisonment as a solution. More broadly, the episode asks what it would take to have higher-quality public debate about crime – including better public education, more honest political leadership, and a media and social media environment that supports, rather than distorts, informed discussion. Dr Tom McNeil has written a book, Public Opinion on Crime: Message Framing and Deliberative Democracy for a Progressive Consensus.

In late February 2026, news broke that one of Britain's most notorious child killers had been attacked inside prison. Within days, Ian Huntley, the man responsible for the murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, was dead. The man accused of carrying out the attack was another inmate, Anthony Russell, and almost instantly the internet lit up with celebration.But here's the thing. While some people online have been calling Russell a hero, that version of the story leaves out something important. Long before he ever crossed paths with Huntley behind prison walls, Russell had already left a trail of devastation across the West Midlands. In the space of just seven days, four people lost their lives after encountering him - David Williams, his mum Julie Williams, and pregnant Nichola McGregor.Exclusive content:Patreon - Ad Free, Early Access, Exclusive EpisodesFollow the show:British Murders with Stuart BluesDisclaimer:The case discussed in this podcast episode is real and represents the worst day in many people's lives.

On a winter's night in December 1996, after a couple pulled into a lay-by in the West Midlands, the woman claimed they'd just been victims of a violent road rage attack. The man, her fiancée, lay dying from multiple stab wounds. What followed would become one of the most infamous murder cases in modern British criminal history - a case that split public opinion, dominated tabloid headlines, and introduced a narrative many were too quick to accept.For years, this case has been lazily labelled a so-called “femme fatale” murder - a phrase that risks turning a brutal killing into something stylised, even seductive. But strip away the media caricatures, the courtroom theatrics, and the mythology built around it, and what remains is the death of a young father, Lee Harvey, and a family left to grieve while the country argued over the person responsible.Buy Maureen Harvey's book Pure Evil below (not an affiliate link):Pure Evil | Amazon UKExclusive content:Patreon - Ad Free, Early Access, Exclusive EpisodesFollow the show:British Murders with Stuart BluesDisclaimer:The case discussed in this podcast episode is real and represents the worst day in many people's lives.

Wolfie dissects yet another defeat, this time at the hands of Aston Villa! ⚽Football Prizes⚽ Win Free Forest Shirt!: https://footballprizes.co.uk/club-competitions/nottingham-forest/ The wait for a win at Villa Park continues as Nottingham Forest fall to a 3-1 defeat, extending our winless run in the West Midlands to over three decades. It was a game defined by moments of madness and missed opportunities; despite a stubborn first-half defensive display, a wonder strike from Ollie Watkins on the stroke of halftime completely deflated the Reds. While Morgan Gibbs-White gave us a glimmer of hope with a cool finish to make it 2-1, a "clown show" moment from John Victor—who rushed off his line only to get rounded by John McGinn—ended the contest and left our keeper heading off with an injury. But as the dust settles on another defeat, we have to look at the bigger picture. Are we witnessing a squad that has simply lost its identity under the constant cycle of managerial changes and heavy summer spending? Wolfie asks the tough questions about where the blame truly lies: is this on Evangelos Marinakis for his "main character" approach to ownership and the sacking of Nuno? Is Edu struggling to find the right balance in recruitment, or are the players simply not showing the "fight" required for a Premier League survival scrap? We've seen flashes of quality, but sitting in 17th with the relegation zone looming, the "project" is starting to look like a nightmare. How are you feeling after that one, Forest fans? Is it time to stop blaming the managers and start looking at the hierarchy, or do you still trust Sean Dyche to "stabilize the ship" before it's too late? With a massive six-pointer against West Ham coming up next, we cannot afford many more of these defensive collapses.
