There are a few misconceptions about Christianity. We don't list them all in this video, don't worry. But here are a few of them, as well as mistakes that, as Christians ourselves, tend to make (talking from personal experience).

P.S, we're NOT preaching, this is simply what we believe the misconceptions are and how we feel things can change - we're also like EVERY other Christian on our journey, with many bumps and falls. No judgement and no perfection here. We're still God's 'work-in progress'.

Topics discussed:

• Judging others
• Social media Christianity
• Drinking
• Falling into sins again
• Sex before marriage

Thank you for listening, we appreciate your continuous support for real!! We'll keep trying our best to upload and give you content as often as possible. Till our next upload, stay blessed, take care of yourselves and have a great week.

After ghosting, we're back with something that has sparked a lot of outrage, our A-Level results.

Topics discussed:

Advice to GCSE students

Be grateful for the results you got (if you got into uni)

Praying and trusting God in everything

Gavin and Ofqual and the sudden U-turn

Hope in our generation

――――――――――――――――

General concerns/questions:

Why did Gavin not follow Scotland's example? Why were private schools seen to have a huge boost in A*-A entries? Is the U-turn going to save everyone? What new systems within education should we have? What next for thousands of medical students who are being rejected?

We're back and excited to be joined by aspiring pro footballer, Hasan Ali.

But above all, in today's episode we're paying our respects and remembering the life of the young and talented Luca Skivington, Hasan's close friend. On 6 August 2019, 1 year ago today, Luca was sadly involved in a car crash and passed away.

As well as telling us about his journey within football so far, Hasan shares with us how losing someone very close to him had a impact on his life and how he managed to recover.

Our prayers and love to every single person who was very blessed to know someone like Luca.

May his soul rest in perfect peace.
