Description

Hear everyday Christians from the North of England, like JJB, share their stories

Jamie Jones Buchanan or 'JJB' is a 'real Northerner', an ex-professional Rugby League player and a Christian.

JJB has retired after 22 years of professional rugby for the Leeds Rhinos and now looks back on his sporting career and journey to faith through another rugby player who took him to church.

Hear how Jesus has transformed JJB's attitude to winning, to justice, to storing treasure in heaven rather than on earth, and to family. Be encouraged by JJB's faith as he starts a new path, trusting that his identity in Jesus and glorifying God is secure whatever the future holds.
