Government-proposed mandatory reporting – here’s what you need to know
One of my favourite aspects of church life is the fact that our church families are made up of all kinds of people, of all ages. This means that churches are filled with families with children and young people. What a valuable thing that is. As a single woman living with housemates, I don’t often…

What being human in space does to the body
When they splashed down off the coast of Florida this week in their capsule, both Suni and Butch looked considerably older. Williams’ flowing chestnut hair had turned almost totally white. Both astronauts had experienced accelerated ageing – with about 1% of their bone and muscle withering away…

Four groups negatively affected by the assisted dying bill
Ineffective scrutiny of the bill can be explained by two reasons. Firstly, the committee membership is skewed 18 to 5 in support of the bill, including from both the justice and health ministers attending the committee. Secondly, the bill sponsor along with the 17 other supportive MPs have…

Rebecca’s story – an extravagant gift
I was raised surrounded by Bible teaching and had a relationship with Jesus from a young age. I loved spending time studying God’s word with others and being a part of my church family. Unfortunately, a lot of the time, I also loved doing my own thing, and for many years, I spent much too little…
Sharing Easter eggs and good news on our street
Even as someone who communicates regularly, I have found having a ‘script’ helps. Knowing what you are going to say gives you a firm footing to begin a conversation. At each door, we decided we would hand over the chocolate egg and say, ‘Hi, happy Easter. This is for you. We are the family who live…

Seeking answers and finding Jesus
From what I see and hear from churches across the East Midlands, and my own church network, there is a real and tangible sense that something is happening, that the spiritual atmosphere in our nation is shifting; stories of people walking into church to find out about Jesus, young men exploring…

The Easter story: hope in the darkness
In his book The cross of Christ, John Stott writes of crucifixion: "Crucifixion seems to have been invented by “barbarians” on the edge of the known world, and taken over from them by both Greeks and Romans. It is probably the most cruel method of execution ever practised, for it deliberately…
Adolescence: Is the crisis of masculinity leading young men to Christ?
I find the conversation about masculinity bubbling up in society particularly interesting because this week the Bible Society released a report that reveals something both surprising and encouraging: over the past six years, male attendance at church has seen a significant rise, especially among…

God is at work in Wales
We got chatting, and his story completely took me by surprise. Up until a few weeks beforehand, he’d been a self-assured atheist, whose only focus in life had been to make lots of money. However, through the online content of a number of social media influencers I wasn’t even aware were…

What is a woman?
This follows a case brought by For Women Scotland, which challenged the Scottish Government’s approach to gender quotas on public boards. The Scottish Government wanted these quotas to include people who are biologically male but had a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) and identified as trans…

In the turbulence of 2025, the graduate scheme combined my passion for Jesus and politics
Having previously worked within local churches and children's ministry, I have witnessed firsthand the troubles many face in their day-to-day lives – homelessness, food poverty, loneliness, and much more. I also walked alongside parents navigating raising children in modern society, with gender…

Can we make the quiet revival louder?
And yet, in 2025, there has been a wave of research and headlines that have told a different story and caused those in the church and the media to listen up and take notice. I have compiled some key findings from some of the latest research conducted in the UK: In January, a survey of 10,000 people…
