You're wanting to be bold in how you share your faith; you’re just waiting for the other person to pause so you can finally share what you believe. Or perhaps someone asks a question about faith or shows even the smallest bit of openness to a gospel conversation, and you get so excited that you end…

Faith across the generations: Seeing God at work in every stage of life
As I’ve reflected on these conversations, three key takeaways stand out: 1. Our children’s ministry has a powerful impact The Talking Toddlers research revealed that 40% of people come to faith before the age of five, before school begins and before many of life’s big choices are even imagined.…

Frankenstein, transhumanism and the love of God
It is a story that seems to never age. Published anonymously in 1818 by the then 19-year-old Mary Shelley, its narrative appears to resonate with every generation. The story captivated Guillermo del Toro, whose current remake of Frankenstein is currently topping Netflix’s streaming charts with over…

How does the Bible tell us to treat immigrants?
It consistently ranks among the public’s top concerns, often above the economy or the NHS. The pressure for reform is constant. The Bible is not silent on immigration, and challenges us no matter where we stand on this issue. Applying biblical examples to modern Britain is far from a simple…

Grace’s Story – Medical diagnosis
It was at the 20-week scan, when all had seemed fairly routine at the start. Up to that point, this pregnancy had been the best of the three so far; with the previous two, I had been extremely sick and even hospitalised with hyperemesis. Given our excitement, we barely noticed that the scan was…
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…
