David Jardine
<p>For the latest installment I had the pleasure of talking to David Jardine from Willowfield Duffers FC who play in the Churches League. </p><p>So, a few episodes back I spoke to Chris Pollock about the aforementioned league and in my research discovered the Duffers and immediately decided they were my team. Luckily for me their social media is run by the very kind and patient David! </p><p>It was fascinating to hear about his journey through faith and how it has sustained him in particularly challenging circumstances as he navigates through the effects of long Covid. </p><p>Alongside the usual football chatter we discussed his surprisingly traumatic playing career, his work within Willowfield Church, his prison chaplaincy, becoming ordained and how Worship Music has helped him through his health struggles, culminating in Songs for the Storm. </p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/willowfieldduffersfc/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">www.instagram.com/willowfieldduffersfc/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/songsforthestorm/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">www.instagram.com/songsforthestorm/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.willowfieldchurch.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">www.willowfieldchurch.co.uk/</a></p><p><a href="www.saturdayservice.uk" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">www.saturdayservice.uk</a></p>
