Netflix's latest documentary following the career of football ace David Beckham, got writer Rachel Allcock thinking about Jesus.
Maybe all you’ve seen of the number one Netflix series are hilarious take-offs of the "Be honest" clip (Cassandra Maria has three such reels @casseville). In the first episode, Victoria tries to convince the interviewer that she was "very working class". David puts his head around the door and interrupts her repeating: "Be honest!"
I didn’t think I’d invest much more in this series, but this - and many other down to earth moments - endeared me to the footballer in whom I’ve previously had only a fleeting interest. The fact he was initially attracted to "the posh one" makes her claim to come from a "very working-class" family even funnier.

‘Jesus never forced anyone to follow him, yet his unwavering love transformed lives (Luke 22:42, Galatians 5:22–23). You can’t control your husband. But you can let the Holy Spirit shape your own heart and responses,’ says Suze Gurmeseva.

‘At a routine check up on the baby, a few days before our planned C-section, her heart rate kept disappearing. Distressed this was the end, I agreed whole-heartedly to an emergency C-section as our church community prayed fervently over Zoom,’ says Beth Appleby.

‘If I ever meet Olivia Colman (one can dream) I would love to chat to her about school, and our experiences of drama classes with Mr Hands, but I would also ask her about her faith, and encourage her that the God she worshipped in chapel choir at school, is the same God who wants a close walk with her today, and to bless her even more than she knows,’ says Jemimah Wright.
