Luke 9:18-22
One day when Jesus was praying alone in the presence of his disciples he put this question to them, ‘Who do the crowds say I am?’ And they answered, ‘John the Baptist; others Elijah; and others say one of the ancient prophets come back to life.’ ‘But you,’ he said ‘who do you say I am?’ It was Peter who spoke up. ‘The Christ of God’ he said. But he gave them strict orders not to tell anyone anything about this.
‘The Son of Man’ he said ‘is destined to suffer grievously, to b...

Luke 9:7-9
Herod the tetrarch had heard about all that was being done by Jesus; and he was puzzled, because some people were saying that John had risen from the dead, others that Elijah had reappeared, still others that one of the ancient prophets had come back to life. But Herod said, ‘John? I beheaded him. So who is this I hear such reports about?’ And he was anxious to see Jesus.

Luke 6:12-19
Jesus went out into the hills to pray; and he spent the whole night in prayer to God. When day came he summoned his disciples and picked out twelve of them; he called them ‘apostles’: Simon whom he called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon called the Zealot, Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot who became a traitor.
He then came down with them and stopped at a piece of level ground where there was a large gathering of h...

The Pharisees and the scribes said to Jesus, ‘John’s disciples are always fasting and saying prayers, and the disciples of the Pharisees too, but yours go on eating and drinking.’ Jesus replied, ‘Surely you cannot make the bridegroom’s attendants fast while the bridegroom is still with them? But the time will come, the time for the bridegroom to be taken away from them; that will be the time when they will fast.’
He also told them this parable, ‘No one tears a piece...

Luke 5:1-11
Jesus was standing one day by the Lake of Gennesaret, with the crowd pressing round him listening to the word of God, when he caught sight of two boats close to the bank. The fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. He got into one of the boats – it was Simon’s – and asked him to put out a little from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat.
When he had finished speaking he said to Simon, ‘Put out into deep...

The Sporting Spirit23. Niñas sin MiedoA study published the last time there was a European Championships being played found that 1 in every 3 women in Colombia aged between 15-49 had experienced physical and/or sexual violence at the hands of their intimate partner, at least once in their lifetime (Bott et al., 2016). Indeed, stereotypes, discrimination and grossly unequal socio-economic conditions have had a direct impact on violence against women in Colombia. This week, we make our mid-summer return by speaking to Maria Alejandra Vanegas, the program coordinator of a Soacha-based NGO that seeks to promote human rights in Colombia, with an emphasis on female sexual an...

The time came for Elizabeth to have her child, and she gave birth to a son; and when her neighbours and relations heard that the Lord had shown her so great a kindness, they shared her joy.
Now on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; they were going to call him Zechariah after his father, but his mother spoke up. ‘No,’ she said ‘he is to be called John.’ They said to her, ‘But no one in your family has that name’, and made signs to his father t...

On the pod this week, we are joined by Prof. Brenda Elsey, an expert in the subject and co-author of the seminal book “Futbolera: A History of Women and Sports in Latin America”.

Hence, who better to speak to than a Premier League football club who are not just happy and thankful to be where they are on the pitch, but doing some really important work off it. On this week’s episode, we speak to Paul Williams of Albion in the Community (AITC), the official charity of Brighton and Hove Albion F.C. Tune in as Paul tells us all about the crucial work that AITC a...
2021-04-2259 minThe Sporting Spirit20. Slum SoccerIndia, the world’s second most populated country, has enjoyed almost three decades of unparalleled economic growth. Indeed, between 2018 and 2022, India is estimated to produce approximately 70 new millionaires every day. Despite the irrefutable economic progress, data collected from the Homeless World Cup showed about 1.8 million homeless individuals living in India as of 2019. This showcases the revolting inequality that clearly exists not just in India, but in many other large developing nations in the Global South. On this week’s episode, we speak to Abhijeet Barse, one of the founders of an organisation that aims to combat homelessness and improve the l...

Similarly, the way sport is organized in the region is equally complex and elusive. On this week’s episode, Dr. Marko Begović, an expert in all things sport policy in the Western Balkans, joins us the pod.

This month Chicago-based law professor, dad, and speed chess specialist, David Franklin joins me. Like me, David is a long-time fan of the writing of GM Jonathan Rowson, and of his 2000 book, The Seven Deadly Chess Sins, in particular. Due to its uniquely philosophical, digressive tone and its advanced chess subject matter, The Seven Deadly Chess Sins is not universally loved. Nonetheless, both podcast hosts and many other chess fans consider it to be a classic. In our conversation, we define and discuss each of GM Rowson’s 7 "...

In total, there were 108 nation states that boycotted the games in that time period. This week, Prof. Jörg Krieger joins us once more for the second installment of our analysis on the pivotal political events that have shaped the modern Olympic Games into its current form.

Together with the five rings symbolizing the five continents, these two elements have come to embody the modern Olympic Games for what we recognize it as today - an all-inclusive movement that hosts the par excellence of sport every four years. Yet, those distinguishing elements couldn't have been further from what it's controversial aristocratic founder, Pierre de Coubertin, had envisaged when he first conceived of the idea of resurrecting an Ancient Greek tradition. On the pod this w...
2021-01-1455 minThe Sporting Spirit12. The EFDN: beyond the pitchThe "power of football" is something of a worn-out cliché, and sometimes feels like nothing more than a feel-good PR exercise. However, in the last few decades, football has been taken more seriously in the field of development work. It has been argued to not only provide a basis for physical fitness and healthy living, but as a tool for tackling various social issues ranging from youth unemployment to refugee integration. On this week's show, we speak to Robert Maaskant, programme and partnerships manager at the European Football for Development Network (EFDN), an organization that provides guidance and support wit...

Sport for Development (SFD) means a lot of things to a lot of different people, and yet, it's often associated with NGO work run by Global North actors in the Global South.

The Realities of Being a Football AgentOn this week's very special episode, we speak to Mel Stein, President of the Association of Football Agents and one of the first English solicitors to be regarded as a specialist sports lawyer. Having managed several high profile British players throughout the 1990s, including Paul Gascoigne, Chris Waddle and Alan Shearer, Mel gives us his take on the negative preconception of football agents as portrayed by the popular press, FIFA's controversial role in regulating football transfers, as well as his experiences in dealing with a young "Gazza" at the peak of his powers!

The world, in many respects, has certainly moved on since her famous book championing the rights of women to receive rational education, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, was published in 1792. However, sport at times certainly feels like it's still being played according to 18th century...

Gender Diversity and Inclusion in SportOver the last few decades, societies all over the world (not all, obvsly) have come round to the long-overdue realization that you can be whatever you feel yourself to be. Compared to other areas, this remains arguably the most polarizing issue in sport. This week, we speak to the brilliant Prof. Karolin Heckemeyer on the archaic gender ideals of sport, the narrative of competitive fairness and perhaps more importantly, whether there could be a future whereby individuals can compete in whichever gender category they identify as, without discrimination.

In the primaries, Biden certainly stepped up to the plate despite not being the initial frontrunner. Will Kanye West be a realistic dark horse option? I think you get the point now.
