  On today’s episode, Peter Lynas, Alicia Edmund and Danny Webster cover a whole range of issues from calls to boycott HelloFresh, to a seven-minute standing ovation for the Pope in the Spanish parliament, what energy drink would Jesus drink? to the number of openly Christian players at this year’s World Cup. It’s becoming the new normal to see Christianity discussed in the cultural space, so the team discuss how as Christians we can speak confidently and compellingly about Jesus.
