The Nitty-Gritty: Genesis GV70 2.5T AWD Luxury Line, as tested
At a recent sneak peek event, the excitement was palpable as teenagers from around the world erupted into chants of “Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!” What sparked their enthusiasm were the first glimpses of the highly anticipated JESUS film. Jesus Film Project® unveiled first-look clips of their upcoming animated feature film, JESUS, during TeenStreet Europe, a major Christian event that drew thousands of teenagers worldwide.
Based on the New Testament Gospels, the new film depicts the life of Jesus, His miracles, death, crucifixion and resurrection, through high-quality animation.
“I love the idea of this movie,” said Daniela, a teenager from Portugal. “I love that we’re trying to do something for kids, teens and also for adults! I think everybody loves this kind of movie.”
Angelica from Germany said: “I really liked how creative it was and powerful.”
11 year-old Asher said: “I will show it to all the rest of my friends because they don’t understand why I believe in God and I think this is a good way to show them why I believe in Jesus and God.”
Teenagers who attended the screenings expressed their excitement in different ways. Many were eager to share the JESUS film with friends, seeing it as a way to start meaningful conversations about faith. They also discussed their emotional reactions to some of the film’s pivotal scenes, which resonated with the audience and left a lasting impression on younger and older viewers alike.
Some teenagers also reflected on the role of women in the Resurrection as shown in the film, highlighting a thoughtful engagement with the gospel.
Geoff Peters, Global Marketing Director for Jesus Film Project, said: “Showcasing clips from our new film at Teenstreet Europe was nothing short of astounding. The energetic response from the teens, their visceral reactions to the depiction of biblical miracles, and the emotions expressed during the crucifixion scenes were deeply moving.
“The cheers that erupted during the resurrection scenes were particularly memorable. Young Christians are clearly on the move, and it’s an honour to be part of equipping them to share the Gospel through this new film. The enthusiastic reception of JESUS underscores a growing desire among young people for meaningful and faith-based content.”
JESUS is an animated family film designed to bring the life of Jesus to new generations and audiences of all ages. Based on the Christian Gospels, this film re-imagines the 1979 JESUS film and aims to be translated into over 2,100 languages.
The electric vehicle (EV) market is abuzz with new models; this one stands out. With its distinctive saloon-like appearance and a hatchback boot opening, the Polestar 2 sets itself apart in the EV crowd.
This car is not just another EV, but a compelling choice if you seek practical and high-performance ‘green’ transport. Its maximum power of 499PS and impressive WLTP driving range of 379 to 406 miles make it a strong contender against the Tesla Model 3.
If you have yet to hear of Polestar, the marque is Volvo’s electric sub-brand, and the Polestar 2 was the first car to really sperate if from the Swedish automaker. The vehicle incorporates the latest battery and efficiency updates, making it one of the longest-range executive-cum-family EVs you can buy or lease.
Compared with some of its SUV-crossover challengers, the Polestar 2 has a significant advantage when it comes to range. Even the Volvo XC40 Recharge, which shares the Polestar’s structural foundations, has a shorter reach – at least until 2025 updates are ushered in.
Other rivals, such as the Peugeot E-3008, are worth considering if you need even more practicality, but unlike the Polestar 2 it isn’t perceived as a premium car.
As mentioned, the Polestar 2’s practicality is a standout feature, especially compared with Tesla’s Model 3. Unlike the Model 3’s smaller boot lid, its hatchback design makes it a more functionals car to live with if you regularly transport bulky items, such as a pushchair.
Its unique driving position, a balance between an SUV’s raised ride height and a traditional saloon’s lower stance, further enhances its appeal, making it a versatile option for everyday use.
Polestar has also incorporated Google’s Android operating system into the 2, making it easy to use. The vehicle gets over-the-air updates, too, so it can install the latest apps and software without hassle.
The Polestar 2 has undergone significant changes to enhance its performance recently. The electric motor has been moved from the front wheels to the rear wheels on the entry-level model, a transformation that adds a new level of excitement to the Polestar’s driving experience.
In conclusion, the latest Polestar 2 drives excellently and has impressive range and efficiency. It also boasts an excellent infotainment interface, is functional and practical, and looks sexy inside and out. Worth considering if you’re in the market for a posh electric car your kids will love, and Tesla drivers might envy.
The Nitty-Gritty: Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor, as tested:
From on top of the world to dashed Olympic dreams with velocity and veg: learning from success and setback.
Wisdom is defined as the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgment. Experience tends to imply duration, and the regular embodiment of this human trait is the quintessential elder, often with wizened features. Think Yoda.
So far so good, but can such a rule be challenged? Is there any validity in the assertion that acumen can be possessed by anyone who has yet to reach the maturity associated with greying or even thinning hair? I was convinced – as someone north of their 50s – that this was a ridiculous claim. Then I met a bunch of elite athletes with an average age of 24: Great Britain’s Speedway of Nations squad: Robert Lambert, Dan Bewley, and Tom Brennan, along with world champion cyclist Will Tidball. Collectively, they blew this hitherto resolute assumption to smithereens at the National Speedway Stadium in Manchester during a rain-sodden week in July.

First to share his insight into the field of human achievement was 25-year-old Dan Bewley. I sought guidance for one close to my heart: “My son Adam never inherited my passion for speedway, but my 5-year-old grandson Arthur loves it. He’s just ditched his stabilisers and he’s off like a rocket! What would you recommend as the next stage as he aims to emulate you?”
A pragmatic Dan was clear on the path ahead: “Keep on doing what he’s doing; it’s great to see that he’s off the stabilisers. Any time he can have on a bike is a huge benefit.” In terms of the important emotional aspect, he was equally persuasive: “Keep having fun on two wheels and don’t look too far ahead – just enjoy it!”
Twenty-six-year-old Robert Lambert echoed Dan’s mindset. “Enjoy it. For me it all started as a hobby. Keep working hard at it and keep the dream in mind.” But any success story is rarely a solitary achievement, as Robert was quick to acknowledge: “Never lose sight of the importance of your family and the close friends around you in any endeavour you embark upon.”
Twenty-three-year-old Tom Brennan was quizzed about the magic of mental fortitude: “Positivity in any life endeavour is vital, but it is incredibly fragile. How do you manage to maintain your obvious optimism – I don’t think I’ve ever seen your face without a smile!”
A grinning Tom replied, “Well obviously I don’t smile all the time, but I do focus on trying my best to enjoy every opportunity – like participating in the Speedway of Nations. It wasn’t what I was expecting so soon, and consequently I have to grab it with open arms; if I get a win, great, but if I don’t, all I can do is try my best.”

Next up was an unexpected but welcome spectator, Will Tidball, the 2023 world scratch race cycle champion, who by rights should have been preparing to travel to France for the 2024 Olympics. Given that he wasn’t preparing to participate in the headline event, I had a little more time to talk to the 24-year-old athlete: “How did you come to be at the Speedway of Nations?”
“It was a bit of a whirlwind. I rode cycle speedway from the age of six to 16. Recently – as an elite cyclist – I rode in the champions league, and the mutual television rights holders (Warner Brothers Discovery Sports) invited me along.” Cycle speedway isn’t for the faint-hearted and Will was accurate in his descriptor: a war on wheels! As for his motorcycle speedway experience, this was nurtured by his grandad at Exeter – the former home of the famous Falcons – latterly at Plymouth, and the now defunct raceway at Highbridge in Somerset.
Will’s Olympic dreams were not to be fulfilled this time round, and I wondered how he processed this huge setback. “I was very disappointed, although I could see it coming as I had contracted the Epstein-Barr virus, causing chronic fatigue. At the same time, I flipped the situation on its head. Firstly, if I’d not won a world championship last year, would anyone have been talking about me going to Paris? Secondly, I couldn’t control what was happening to my body. As a team we have strength in depth and the squad won’t miss me.”
If this level of pragmatism was exceptional, what followed was even more unexpected. When I asked what advice he would give to someone who is facing their own despondency and if any positives can be gleaned from such an experience, Will was palpably profound. “Definitely. I had a lot of free time on my hands that I wanted to fill. I caught up on all the speedway grand prix rounds on the TV, then got into growing vegetables.” Yes, Will went all-action with agriculture. “It helped to take my mind off the frustration.”
But how could such a pursuit replace the excitement of professional cycling? It couldn’t, but that wasn’t the point: “I couldn’t really do much physical activity, but I wanted to maintain routine (a significant attribute for any champion) and growing veg filled this void. I was also able to be a bit more me.” This made me reflect. The speed and agility of any demanding human endeavour may occasionally need a counterbalance: a polar opposite experience. And time in the slow lane may be just the tonic.
I am acutely aware of the often-cumbersome labels we all carry – drawn from the disparate threads associated with vocations and life choices – but how does it actually feel to be a world champion? Will didn’t miss a beat. “When I did it there was massive relief. All the sacrifices my parents had made – such as driving me here there and everywhere and missing out on holidays. No one can ever take this success away from me. It’s cool, but I also quite like it when people don’t know. And I certainly don’t like being treated differently because I’m a world champion.”
“I’ve always been ambitious. As a child pedalling my bike around my grandad’s yard, I pretended that I was a world champion speedway rider.” With a dollop of levity, he added, “Ambition is what gets you out of bed. Never be scared to dream big. If I can be a world champion than anyone can!”
The perseverance – and ambition – of our riders paid off. The global speedway event reached its climax with a deserved, yet decidedly heart-stopping win, when Robert Lambert and Dan Bewley beat Australia in the final heat to clinch the World Cup for Great Britain.

Have you ever had that experience in life when you feel you’re just going through the regular routine and not really focussed, not fully present in your own life? A bit confused maybe? A bit lost?
I don’t suffer from sleepwalking but I was interested to read that when people sleepwalk, their eyes are usually open, but they will look straight through others and not recognise them. Strangely, they can often manoeuvre quite well around familiar objects!
Sleepwalking can happen in our spiritual life too. We might find ourselves going through the motions, not really focussed, head all over the shop. It might manifest itself as a lack of motivation, or no clear idea of purpose in life, and we end up drifting through life. It’s possible to spend years like that, sub-consciously manoeuvring around responsibility or looking straight through someone, not really engaged in the conversation. Many a time I’ve found myself listening to an inspiring message, which at the time seemed to connect on some deep level with me. It felt like a significant, life changing moment. But by the next day the impact had faded and it no longer seemed that important. I didn’t run with the new line of thinking and got distracted by something else.
Or maybe we experience moments of wonder or beauty – birdsong in a forest; the ebb and flow of waves crashing on the beach; a breathtaking view; an historic building; a wonderful piece of art; but we quickly move on. It’s as if we look straight through it and don’t recognise it for what it is. We don’t let the wonder and beauty change our hearts. We manoeuvre around it. It’s like sleepwalking.
When I was younger, certain professions were given the label ‘a calling’. It might be full time clergy, doctors, or teachers. In my mind it was as if these roles in life were of some higher purpose than others. I don’t remember the word calling being applied to creative people – artists, writers, songsmiths, musicians, dancers or actors. Creatives were lesser beings.
It wasn’t until after his death that Leonardo da Vinci became known for more than just his painting skill, and people discovered that he was also a very prolific thinker in anatomy, astronomy, botany, cartography, palaeontology, science and technology. So how would we classify his calling?
He is famously quoted as saying, “There are three classes of people: Those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see.”
All the more interesting then to find these words in the letter Paul wrote to the early church: I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you. Ephesians 1:18.
Who’d have thought it? Our heart has eyes enabling us to know what it is we’re called to do; who we’re called to be, where we fit in the grand scheme of things. Maybe we could ask God to open the eyes of our heart, see things afresh and avoid sleepwalking.
Digital Editor’s Note: I’m very pleased to welcome Philip, a Deacon at a church in London, as our Sorted Magazine Guest Writer. Philip shares why, when it comes to generosity, he feels a strong sense of responsibility to do his part.
Philip writes: Taylor Swift was back in the UK for the final leg of her Eras tour this weekend after making headlines for giving away enough money to cover the food bills for an entire year across 11 food banks and community pantries in Liverpool. This is an amazing public display of generosity, and she has bettered the lives of thousands of people among the UK’s poorest. But it can reinforce the impression many people have that only rich people can give generously, at least financially.
I’m 52 and I live in social housing in London with my wife. I earn a low income, work multiple jobs and am a deacon at a local church where we regularly give our time, and money. Our financial situation means that we cannot always give consistent amounts, but we always make sure that we have enough saved so that we can give something.
When I was growing up, my father was very active in raising money on Poppy Day for the Royal British Legion. He was the local organiser in our community for the appeal and when he passed away, I decided that I would take over and do the same thing, which I did for several years.
Since then, I have been inspired to support a range of causes such as Macmillan Cancer Support because of close friends who have been helped by them. Seeing the difference that such charities have made in their lives and in the lives of those who are in much harder situations than my own has, along with my Christian faith, instilled a sense of responsibility that I should do my part too.
Living towards the lower earning end of the spectrum does mean that giving financially is always a sacrifice; every time I consider giving, I have to think about our upcoming bills, keeping the car running, ensuring that no debt is accumulating, and budgeting for any future holiday plans. Things that people like Taylor Swift do not have to think about. But I have found that being generous, and giving money away, is worth it.
I remember having a conversation when we were on a holiday in Bournemouth speaking to some people from the lifeboat institution down there. And that inspired us because we were due at that time to switch our charities from the ones we had been giving to. We decided there and then to put the RNLI (see main photo) on our list, if only for a finite amount of time, and we have felt a strong sense of satisfaction and joy ever since.
While the biggest barrier to giving more financially for anyone in my position is obviously affordability, my personal connections to charitable causes and the trust I have in the charities I give to is a huge influence. This is reflected in Stewardship’s inaugural Generosity Report launched in June, that found those who trust the causes they support are likely to be more generous to all causes. Similarly, their research found that the main barriers to giving were feeling unable to afford to give and a lack of trust that donations would be used well.
I tend to trust charities that are well established and have a paper trail that demonstrates to me that their methods work, whether its digging wells in Africa or finding homes for the homeless, and at the end of the day I give what feels right to me.
I know I cannot compete with Taylor Swift when it comes to how much I give, but generosity isn’t about quantity, it’s about mindset, and I’m grateful that I’m able to give the little that I can to help make the world a better place. Imagine what would happen if we were all able to do the same.

Extract from the Prologue of The Last Laugh by Steve Legg:
It’s the film most often voted number one in the top-ten movies of all time by viewers and critics alike. I’m talking about The Shawshank Redemption. You will almost certainly be familiar with it, so I don’t need to say any more than that it’s a story based on one of Stephen King’s tales about prisoners who leave their mark on the institutions in which they’re incarcerated. In the case of Shawshank (as it’s affectionately known), the film focuses on a man called Andy (Tim Robbins) who is wrongfully arrested, charged, sentenced, and then imprisoned for the murder of his wife and her lover. In prison, his life is improved by the formation of a friendship with Red (Morgan Freeman). In many ways, Shawshank is a buddy movie, and part of its appeal is its celebration of an unlikely friendship between two men – one white, the other black.
There are so many famous quotes in Shawshank, some of which have entered our everyday vocabulary. One of the best-known and loved is the word of wisdom uttered by Andy and remembered later by his friend Red, which goes something like this: “We all have a choice. We have to get busy doing one of two things: living or dying.”
I would also add laughing or crying here. If you’re going to busy yourself with living, then busy yourself with laughing as well. That’s the choice every inmate of Shawshank State Prison has. They can either choose to accept the situation and find ways to live rather than merely exist, to thrive rather than merely survive, or they can give in to the despair that surrounds them on every side, like the walls of their cells. Andy chooses to busy himself with living. As does Red. This book is about the two-year journey I’ve been on since I received that initial news, then that the cancer had spread to multiple locations in my body, and later that I had only five months to live. That was a kind of sentence. Some of you may think it was a death sentence. Later in this book, I’ll tell you otherwise. I chose to get busy living, not dying. I chose to get busy laughing, not crying. And I also chose to get busy writing.
The Last Laugh by Steve Legg is available from Amazon or Eden.
As a northerner and a journalist I was delighted to discover that I’m a direct descendant of the founder of the Manchester Guardian newspaper. That’s an understatement. Actually, I was off my head with excitement! Imagine me, Mrs Nobody from the north end of nowhere, sharing the same DNA as someone I have long admired, a giant of the journalism world? Two years after the infamous Peterloo Massacre of 1819 John Taylor founded The Manchester Guardian which arguably became one of the most longstanding and respected newspapers in the world. Taylor published stories about the little people, exposed exploitation, held the powerful to account and changed the course of history.
My joy was indescribable. A voice deep within whispered: “Now I know why I have this burning fire within me! Why I must write.” I put the kettle on and pondered the sheer significance of who I suddenly knew myself to be. In an instant I had become someone else, I saw myself with fresh eyes, no longer ordinary, surely I must be extra ordinary? I drank my tea and for at least fifteen minutes basked in the giddy glow of this unexpected greatness. Then I re-read the genealogy report; then I researched further; then I compared some facts; then I realised that the John Taylor I was descended from was not the John Taylor of Manchester Guardian fame; then I opened the biscuit tin.
My John Taylor shared the same date of birth as the Manchester Guardian’s John Taylor, along with some other similarities. But a few minutes online and the full truth of the matter became apparent. Had I just wanted it to be true? Yes, I had wanted it to be true. Had I needed it to be true? Maybe. Did I have a blind spot to some of the facts? Did I leap to conclusions? Did I just want to feel important? Different? Descended from greatness?
Those fifteen minutes taught me something special. For the entire duration of a tea break my self-belief soared, my self-love lifted, my self-respect resonated. It was really quite remarkable. My calling, my purpose, things deep within my heart were empowered with a fresh fervour. The stance of self-deprecation briefly evaporated. I was really rather impressed with myself. I thought I was alright. I’ve since raised a glass to both John Taylors and decided that perhaps I should embrace that kind of confidence a bit more often, regardless of my DNA.
Digital Editor’s Note: I’m very honoured to welcome paramedic, Joe Hill (pictured on the left below) as our Guest Writer. In this painfully honest account, Joe shares the difficult story of losing his son Levi, and how, in spite of the crushing grief, he is moving forward.
Joe writes: Hi; I’m a paramedic in Cumbria. In March 2024, our family’s life changed forever when our son Levi died suddenly at 32 weeks and was stillborn a couple of days later. As a family, we were devastated beyond words. In the aftermath of our loss, we were surrounded by the love and support of our friends, family, colleagues and church community. Their kindness and compassion helped us navigate our grief and find strength in our darkest moments and we will be forever grateful.
During this heart-wrenching time, the maternity team at West Cumberland Hospital were incredible. They guided us through those unbearable days with compassion and care, making the impossible just a little more bearable. We spent precious time with Levi in the Bluebell Suite, a special room at the hospital named for the beautiful picture of bluebells at Rannerdale Knots that hangs on the wall. It was in this room that we held our son for the first and last times, confronting the overwhelming reality of our grief. The bluebells at Rannerdale Knots have since become a special place for us, a symbol of our love for Levi and a place where we can feel connected to him.
The Challenge – June 14th 2025
In the wake of our tragedy, I was determined to find a way to create something positive from our loss. To channel my grief and honour Levi’s memory, I decided to embark on a personal challenge: Levi’s Loop. The cycling challenge is to ride to every ambulance station in Cumbria, the top of Hardknott Pass, the top of Great Dun Fell, and a pass by Rannerdale Knots – all within 24 hours. The route is just over 280miles with somewhere between 5000m and 8000m of ascent depending on which planning App you believe.
Levi’s Loop is not just about raising money; it’s about creating a lasting memorial for Levi and using our collective strength to support others. I’ll be recruiting riders to join me for sections of the route, providing company and safety. This challenge is set for June 2025 giving us all time to train and prepare. Whether you’re an experienced cyclist or new to the sport, your participation is welcome.
The Charities
In the weeks following Levi’s death, we were introduced to Team Evie, a charity that offered us invaluable peer support. This organization, based in Cumbria, supports community nursing teams, local hospitals, and the intensive care ward at the RVI in Newcastle. They aim to make hospital stays more bearable for families and poorly children, and provide much-needed support to bereaved parents. The compassion and understanding we found through Team Evie gave us a lifeline during our darkest days.
As a paramedic, I’ve seen first hand the toll that mental health struggles can take on individuals. Ambulance staff regularly face traumatic situations, and over time, this can significantly impact our mental health. Before Levi’s death, I was already a strong advocate for staff health and well-being, organizing fitness challenges and promoting healthy lifestyles. Good diet, sleep, and the willingness to talk openly about mental health are crucial for our well-being. Levi’s death challenged me immensely, but through good support and a willingness to face the grief and talk openly about it I’ve managed to avoid complete despair.
I hope to use my situation to encourage conversation and peer support among my colleagues and relieve some of the stigma of admitting you’re struggling. This is why I am also raising money for The Ambulance Staff Charity (TASC). TASC provides a range of mental, physical, and financial services to support the well-being of the UK’s ambulance staff, including those on the road, in control rooms, and in support roles.
All donations will be split equally between Team Evie and TASC.
My hope is that this challenge will grow and be undertaken by others, as individuals or as teams, so that Levi’s memory can live on and continue to inspire positive change. Through this challenge, I aim to create a lasting memorial for Levi, turning our grief into a force for good. Your support can help us make a meaningful impact on the lives of families and ambulance staff in need.
