In fact, footballing legend Matt Le Tissier was nicknamed ‘Le God’ by Southampton supporters, such was his magical mastery of football skills, like scoring spectacular goals.

His journey to faith began during the COVID-19 pandemic, when he began to think more about the big things in life – like good and evil. He began going to church in 2023 after feeling the tangible presence of God at a close friend’s funeral.

“I walked into the church that day and I had the most amazing feeling… I felt this warmth… and I had this feeling that I belong here. I then became a Christian [in December 2023] and I’ve been going to church pretty much every Sunday ever since.”

On another podcast on Spotify, he added that at the funeral he also heard “‘Somebody’ telling me you need to come here” – an inner voice that he now knows was God’s Holy Spirit.

He began meeting regularly with Dave Merrington and the church pastor to find out more, and now “I meet the pastor every two or three weeks and we have a chat about football as he’s a big Saints fan, and then we talk about the Bible and the Lord… and I’m learning lots of things.”

In a podcast with Rev Jamie Franklin, Matt said that he now feels that his life has a purpose, and that “my life is better for it”.

Rejection cuts deeply, and its sting lingers, shaping how we see ourselves, others and even God.

In the Bible, we find the opposite: a powerful healing perspective instead of bitterness. For example, Joseph was rejected by his brothers and sold into slavery by them (Genesis 37). Yet his life shows that even betrayal of this magnitude need not have the final word. Joseph did not allow bitterness to define him. Instead, he trusted that God was working in the background, weaving purpose through his pain.

Towards the end of his life (Genesis 50), Joseph stood face to face with the brothers who had wounded him and could say: “You meant it for evil, but God used it for good.” He did not deny the hurt, but through his faith he found ways to understand it and to see how God had used his negative experiences.

Joseph is like Jesus, who was able to suffer and die for others, and was able to forgive those who crucified him so unfairly.

A heavenly perspective will transform how we look at rejection, and finding hope through the lens of God’s faithfulness is an act of faith. Rather than letting past wounds convince us we are unlovable or doomed to repeat the same pain, we can ask: “How might God have been at work, even there?”

It is over 40 years since Mick Jones, guitarist of rock band Foreigner, awoke in the middle of the night to write the timeless power ballad I Wanna Know What Love Is. The lyrics are still relevant today, for so many people in this troubled world.

Jones has said that the words came to him as if from a "higher source" and that is easy to believe. It is not stretching the imagination too far to suggest that the song is a sub-conscious reaching out to God.

The chorus pleads: "I wanna know what love is, I want you to show me. I want to feel what love is, I know you can show me.”

These words still resonate with so many people today. It is actually possible to be lonely in a crowded room.

Do you want to know what love is?

Well, the Bible has the answer: "Love is patient, love is kind, it doesn't envy, it doesn't boast, it is not proud. It doesn't dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs” (1 Corinthians 13:4-5).

Human love can let us down, but God has promised: “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5).

But the now 45-year-old found God over seven years ago and turned his life around. He runs his own successful construction company which sponsors and hires ex-convicts and addicts.

Paradoxically, the country was ‘imprisoned’ in lockdown when Lewis was himself let out in 2020, but it didn’t prevent his enterprising venture – begun while in a Southampton hostel.

Over the years he’s employed over 50 men and women, many of whom got work for the first time in their lives. At least three, including a brother and sister duo, have gone on to successfully set up their own companies.

Lewis himself has gone from not being able to complete the short distance from Bournemouth train station to a near-by homeless hostel without scoring on drugs, to successfully completing a sponsored run – raising well over his £1,000 target in memory of a cousin he lost to cancer.

The Christian Post reports that Jenna Jameson has been baptised as a Christian and is now using her platform to help others find faith in Jesus.

In an Instagram post she wrote: “My journey with my faith is my own and I’m being public about it because I know there are legions of people that want to know Christ but are in fear of judgement. I am unafraid and will continue to show people that the broken are the most important to him.”

The Las Vegas-born adult movie star was so successful that she was given the title ‘The Queen of Porn’ in the 1990s, before quitting films in 2008 and working as we**am ‘model’.

She announced her faith in Jesus a year ago on social media: “I’ve found my faith again and I’m so at peace. My belief in the most high has led me to strength I never knew I had.”

She told the New York Post: “I am being loud and proud about my walk with Jesus Christ. Proclaiming my love for him is opening so many people’s eyes to the fact that they are not irredeemable.”

In the way station between life and death, Joan meets her current husband who recently passed after choking on a pretzel. However, Joan’s first husband Luke (Callum Turner) is also there, having waited 69 years for Joan to join him since his death in the 1950s.

This love triangle is complicated by the many stalls in this way station which are ‘selling’ various alternative eternities. So, who will Joan choose to spend eternity with?

The question ‘with which husband/wife do you choose to spend eternity’ was a question that was asked of Jesus [see Matthew 22:23-33 in the Bible]. His answer was that the question was based on a false premise: marriage is part of the earthly life we live, but heaven is different.

The apostle Paul used the analogy of a seed which falls and dies, but then grows into a plant. The plan for the plant is only fulfilled after it dies, but there is a continuity between the two. What we know now but Paul didn’t know is that the DNA in the seed contains the plan for both the seed and the plant. God has a plan for us that is fulfilled in the next life – if we put our trust in him.

The leader of the group, Shaila Manzoni from a church in Brasília, said: “Love doesn’t ask who deserves it, but who needs it. They need us.”

According to Christian Daily International (CDI), the group is called AME (Ame Mulheres Esquecidas or Love Forgotten Women) and was founded by Manzoni to support incarcerated women and restore their dignity.

AME volunteers have washed more than 800 prisoners’ feet in the last five years. They have also baptised 202 women, distributed 2,160 hygiene and food kits, and facilitated 555 legal consultations. They also connect women who have received no visits with ‘godmothers’ who write to them and offer emotional support.

Manzoni told Diario Cristiani of CDI: “Jesus invites us to live the Gospel through concrete actions. The washing of feet is a calling.”

Dr Stephen Brooke, author of Your Heart in Rhythm with God’s, recently told the Salvation Army’s War Cry magazine about discoveries concerning the heart.

He said: “In all cultures around the world, there’s a recognition that the physical heart is somehow the centre of life, linking mind, body and spirit. That has been confirmed by the research of the HeartMath Institute in the United States, which has been studying the links for 30 years.”

The research has improved our understanding of the communication between the heart and the brain, and how emotions impact our heart health. Stephen told War Cry: “In the Bible we’re told to rejoice with our heart and soul and love God with all of our heart… These emotions put our heart into a healthy, coherent rhythm.”

The Bible talks a lot about emotions of our heart, and the impact of both negative and positive feelings.

The singer says: “The church was a huge part of my growing up and our family foundation. We love Jesus. And I’m not sure where I would be right now on this journey without him. It’s just a part of who I am.”

The 33-year-old Grammy winner joined the cast of TV show Yellowstone in 2022, with some of her songs featured in the series until it ended in 2024.

Raised in the tiny farming community of Baskin, Louisiana, Lainey grew up in a home where faith wasn’t just talked about; it was lived.

She credits the grit instilled by her parents—and the calling she felt from God—as the driving force behind her perseverance. “I knew from an early age that this was my calling,” she said in an interview with Movieguide.org. “I knew that this was a gift.

She could have left him – and many wives would have done. As someone descends into a spiralling drug habit, it can tear marriages and relationships apart.

But love for her husband and her Lord led LaTanya Richardson Jackson to help Samuel L. Jackson through drug addiction. She got the movie star admitted to a New York rehab clinic and stuck by him until he was free. It was only then that the actor’s career took off. Without her, he would have probably ended up in crime to fund his habit or worse still, in a coffin.

Samuel told People magazine: “She didn’t have to do what she did.”

LaTanya admitted that she felt like leaving him at this time, but also believed it was her Christian duty to stay and help him. She said: “I felt as though God had spoken to me and said, ‘Now, you can’t leave this young man like this. So give him some help.’”

He said: “I was given another chance to be who I was supposed to be.”

Interviewed by Premier Christian News, Jasmine Mitchell said her faith “has become stronger and stronger over the last year”, as she relied on God while balancing Bake Off with studying for a medical degree.

Jasmine said the pressure of the show “really pushed me to rely on Jesus, on God, because there were a lot of situations where I just felt completely unequipped.

“Walking to the tent from the green room, or waiting, I would just pray the Lord’s prayer a lot in my head… I felt like God was walking along beside me.”

The youngest ever five-time Star Baker added: “I would look back at the end of the week and just feel completely held by God. It was a complete kind of miracle, to be honest, that I had managed to get through it!”
