  Saturday Service - A Faith and Football Podcast

  Ed Jervis

  Aug 19, 202626 min

  For this latest edition I had the pleasure of talking to Ed Jervis who is the Content Co-ordinator at United Christian Broadcasters. Alongside Joe Rivers and Producer Tom he presents The Big Man Up Top Podcast, a weekly look at the beautiful game through the lens of faith. As well as possibly having the greatest name a Christian football podcast could have it's also a brilliant listen and comes highly recommended. An avid Stoke City fan, Ed's enthusiasm for football was sparked, in no small part, by his Grandfather Gordon Banks. Following a conversation with a family friend over dinner, Ed, alongside Gabriel Gatehouse, embarked on a mission to find out how much truth there was in a rumour that his Grandfather had been poisoned by the CIA. The result was the brilliant podcast Foul Play. https://www.instagram.com/bigmanuptoppod/ https://www.ucb.co.uk/ https://linktr.ee/saturdayservicefootball Thank You ⚽ Ed Jervis

  Stu Alleway

  Aug 5, 202650 minS1

  Fresh from a summer holiday where I took in the sights and sounds of Iceland (the supermarket), we are back and what better way to celebrate than a chat with Mr Stu Alleway! Stu, a massive Chelsea fan, was formerly the Chaplain at Southend United, his tenure coincided with a particularly tumultuous period for the club, so it was fascinating to hear insight into what it was like at that time. He stepped away from the role to focus his efforts on Big Love Charity, founded by Stu and his wife Emm in 2019. The charity works across the UK, Romania, Moldova and the borders of Ukraine, supporting communities facing poverty, addiction and vulnerability.
