Why are so many Premier League players wearing their faith on their sports sleeve? We chart the rise of the Christian footballers in this documentary episode.
Speaking to John Bostock of Ballers In God, I investigate the new awakening among Arsenal's 'Bible Brothers' - including Saka, Eze & Timber, plus players across other top teams - Joel Ward, Gabriel Jesus, Ben Gannon-Doak, Maxence Lacroix, Antoine Semenyo & Mark Guehi.
Joe Lowther of Sports charity KICK, and Martin Saunders of Youthscape also offer their thoughts on how the surprising rebirth of faith among footballers is impacting the wider culture.

Exclusive full interview for Silver, Gold, and Platinum level supporters. Jon Tyson, pastor of Church of the City New York and author of The Intentional Father and Fighting Shadows: Overcoming 7 Lies That Keep Men From Becoming Fully Alive, joins me to explore the crisis of masculinity and the search for identity among young men today.
What does it mean to become a man in the modern world, and how does Jesus provide a better model of masculinity than we find in ‘The Manosphere’?
This October is the 50th anniversary of Richard Dawkins’ book The Selfish Gene and the 20th anniversary of The God Delusion. To mark the occasion, we have been releasing some messages for him from followers of his work, but they have one thing in common: they all have stories of leaving atheism, and coming to faith through Dawkins - which have been published in a book of that title!
Historian Sarah Irving-Stonebraker thought she'd achieved the life of a happy and intellectually fulfilled atheist at the start of her academic career, until she encountered the ideas of New Atheists Peter Singer and Richard Dawkins. This led her to question her assumptions and, ultimately, convert to Christian faith!
Prof Andrew Gosler - ornithologist and biologist from Oxford University - shares his story about how Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene, plus Dawkins' own anti-Christian commentary, forced him out of religious apathy into eventually becoming a Christian and an ordained priest!
More stories like this can be read in the book Coming To Faith Through Dawkins, published by Kregel.
