Many of us who are Christians have the same experience — our playlists are packed with worship, but every now and then, we need a different sound. A sound that moves. A sound that races. A sound that feels like the gospel sprinting with flaming trainers. For me, that outlet was pop-punk. I loved occasionally swapping the usual worship tracks for bands like Relient K , Stellar Kart , and Hawk Nelson . They had that punchy joy and emotional honesty that hits differently — not r

There’s a modern myth circulating in Christian circles — the idea that followers of Jesus must be soft, passive, and unwilling to resist evil. Some have taken “turn the other cheek” to mean “lie down and let wicked men walk over you.” But this view is not rooted in Scripture, history, or the understanding of those who actually lived with Jesus and learned from Him. What Jesus’ Audience Already Knew When Jesus walked among the Jews of the first century, He spoke to people stee

There are moments in Scripture where heaven draws back the veil and human beings are allowed to witness something eternal. The Transfiguration is one of those astonishing moments. Many Christians read Matthew 17, Mark 9, or Luke 9 and picture a glowing Jesus beside Moses and Elijah — and they stop there. But the Transfiguration is far more than a spectacle of light.

For many Christians today, there is a growing sense that something is deeply off in the way modern churches speak about nations, borders, culture, and compassion. We are told — often by very loud voices in clerical collars — that the Gospel demands a borderless world, that “loving our neighbour” means dissolving nations, ignoring national identity, and welcoming endless waves of migration with no thought for sustainability, order, or the integrity of a people.

Football in the UK isn’t just a game — it’s a heartbeat. From local pitches and non-league grounds to Premier League and Championship stadiums , it shapes identity, fuels dreams, and builds community. Amid rivalries, big money, and fierce competition, there’s another movement quietly growing: Christian footballers who live out their faith, and whose example is positively impacting the next generation. These players demonstrate that faith and football don’t just coexist — they

On the way to the Newcastle Town vs Wythenshawe Town game, I stuffed a handful of tracts into my pocket. Not ordinary leaflets, but the “Jesus £20 note” tracts we hand out through Cross Warriors Ministries — those little paper seeds disguised as money but worth far more than twenty pounds. Each one carries the Gospel on the back, a simple message of salvation in Christ. The plan was simple. I’d hand out a few, drop a few along the way, and pray that God would use them however

Saturday 27th September 2025 saw a powerful move of God as Cross Warriors took to the streets outside the bet365 Stadium for the Stoke City vs Norwich City match. With thousands of football fans arriving to cheer on their team, we had one clear mission: to lift up the name of Jesus and share the good news with as many people as possible. Armed with gospel tracts, prayer, and a heart for the lost, our team spread out among the crowds arriving before kick-off. The atmosphere wa
