Turn The Battle is a national call to three days of prayer and fasting from 21–23 January 2026, uniting the church across the UK and Ireland in a decisive spiritual moment. The vision came during a personal time of worship while listening to a song based on 2 Chronicles 7:14. The Lord moved me…

Turn The Battle
Main aim To mobilise as many people to pray and fast. It’s about the whole body humbling itself under God’s mighty hand and a committing to three days of contending prayer and fasting. There are three biblical themes for the event: 1. A fresh commitment to prayer – seeking God with humility and…
Jesus' radical vulnerability: a Christmas journey
We can see this through the different characters in the story and some of the imagery; a pregnant young woman, a husband scared of scandal, a baby born in the manger, Magi from the East who have to risk speaking to Herod in order to ascertain the birth of a new King, shepherds in the fields…

Make Jesus’ name known to your enemies
We are constantly being asked to identify our enemies and stand up against them. There has been increased talk about hating enemies, about fighting, about defending against and defeating enemies. These are all very human reactions towards those we might feel threatened by or at risk from. But…

Kitione and Hannah's story
Soon after the scan, we were taken to speak to a specialist consultant who explained that it was his view that our baby had no chance of survival, and that it would be a matter of days or weeks until they passed away. My questions about any possible treatment, intervention, or early delivery if we…
Jesus who is holy and was wholly human
God with meat. God in flesh. I imagine my grandma would balk at the seeming irreverence, but if the usual response of the room is anything to go by, it’s a helpful jolt into re-engaging with the reality of the Incarnation. The opulence of God’s divine nature meets the ordinariness of last night’s…
