## Resource

In this episode of the FLS Podcast, Graeme's catching up with Matt Ellis — a passionate follower of Jesus and lifelong cricket lover whose journey has taken some unexpected turns. Matt shares how his love for cricket began at just eight years old, and how that passion has remained a constant thread throughout his life. From starting out as an insurance salesperson, to stepping into church ministry, and now living and working in Western NSW, Matt reflects on how God has guided each stage of his journey. Today, Matt is helping spread the love of cricket across regional communities while also serving with Scripture Union — combining sport with the sharing of the good news of Jesus. Through cricket camps and community engagement, he’s creating spaces where young people can grow not just in their skills on the field, but in their understanding of faith.
