Leamington Hastings is more than stone, stained glass, and memorials—it’s a place where history, human tension, and spiritual depth intersect, and where grace has always had the final word.

In this episode, we explore the church’s origins as a gift from Humphrey Hastang, the life of the Augustinian Canons who served the local community, and the challenges of privilege, power, and service across the centuries. Through Scripture, historical stories, and reflections, we uncover how grace—not status—shapes communities and calls each of us to live humbly, faithfully, and generously.

Discover the story of Leamington Hastings—a church shaped by gifts, grace, and generations of service. From the Augustinian canons who lived humbly among their community, to vicars who set aside privilege to answer God’s call, we explore how grace has always been stronger than status. Join us as we reflect on history, hear surprising lessons from sport, and unpack Jesus’ parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector. A sermon for anyone navigating faith, humility, and the quiet power of God’s mercy.

What do Robin Hood, Reformation-era rectors, and our modern parishes have in common? More than you’d think. In this episode, we explore the weighty choices faced by those who came before us and the hope that still sustains us today. As we face pressures of our own—collective and personal—we're invited to live with courage, faith, and a bold expectation: the true King is coming. And unlike King Richard of legend, Jesus never disappoints.
