The Evangelical Alliance releases their latest report, Finding Jesus: Identifying Pathways to Faith in Adulthood. The report collated the stories of almost 300 new adult Christians and highlights some key findings around how people are coming to faith and common trends that are emerging amongst…
Faith and fatherhood in my blended family
Tell us about your journey into fatherhood. When I met my wife, Ellie, some friends were hesitant because she had a child, but that wasn’t a deterrent for me. After our first date I called my mum and said, “I’ve met this amazing girl, but it’s not a typical story – there’s a four-year-old boy…

Turn your frustration into prayer
Over the last few years I had been hearing more and more stories of increasing openness and interest in faith. Stories of miracles and visions, stories of answered prayer and stories of people finding Jesus. But I wasn’t seeing these stories first hand – just hearing about them from others. It was…

What the decriminalisation of abortion really means in practice
Labour MPs Tonia Antoniazzi and Stella Creasy have each tabled amendments to the Criminal Justice Bill – New Clause 1 and New Clause 20 – aiming to fully decriminalise abortion in England and Wales. As Christians, we believe every human being bears God’s image and has inherent dignity from…

Should Christians use AI?
Moving with the times I have been a Christian for over 40 years and have always worked in technology. I currently work for a global bank in AI/Machine Learning, giving me a professional head start on others attempting to get to grips with this new technology. The most recent use of AI is by far the…

Boredom and the search for meaning
In the study, participants were placed in a room for up to 15 minutes with just their minds for company. They also had the option to give themselves a mild electric shock. Shockingly (pun intended), 67% of men and 25% of women chose to do just that. Why? Because we all get bored – and we really…

Parliament votes to legalise unsafe and dangerous abortion
Instead of the law protecting both lives in pregnancy, all unborn children have lost legal protections and women have been abandoned by those tasked and paid to provide care. Some women will risk their own lives and health in the name of ‘autonomy’. Others will be coerced into ‘choosing’ by…

Church leaders meet with their MP: an encouraging collaboration

Assisted suicide bill advances to the House of Lords
It is often said, how a society treats its most vulnerable is a reflection of how it measures and values humanity. I would like to go one step further and suggest the decision of politicians to conceive and propose to legalise assisted suicide in England and Wales is a reflection on how cultural…

Defining "Islamophobia" could restrict gospel freedom
Religion, politics, ethnicity and free speech are difficult conversations to have in a public forum without fear and are also a policy weakness for politicians who are either faith illiterate or struggle to appreciate the interaction between religions. However, there is no excuse to tolerate the…

Keir Starmer’s first year in office as prime minister: a tale of two halves
It is my view that the prime minister needs to shift his political focus from international statesman, where he has been more comfortable leading on the global stage, to driving the government’s domestic agenda. Labour’s first year in government has been chaotic and confusing at times and needs…

Why ‘colourblindness’ doesn’t help the church
When Michael was told this, he heard something like: “I don’t want to hear or acknowledge some of the most beautiful parts of who you are ethnically and culturally, and I don’t want to walk with you in the pain of what you have experienced racially.” It is not uncommon to hear “I don’t see colour.”…
