Character flaws have been brought to the surface; in public, even, and I’ve had to learn to become emotionally mature while in a position of leadership.
OH, TO BE SO LOVED!!
‘Oh, to be so loved’ is more than a cute phrase though, it a lifestyle. It is a state of mind and healthy view of myself and my life.
BUILD BRIDGES, BURN IDOLS – CHUDE OBUAYA GUEST BLOGGER
Written by Chude Obuaya. Over the past few months I have increasingly seen online greater idolatry and greater burning of bridges.
WHAT LOSING MY 284 DAY STREAK ON THE YOUVERSION BIBLE APP TAUGHT ME
When the YouVersion Bible app first added streaks and perfect weeks last year, I was a little sceptical. I may or may not have had thoughts along the lines of: “Um… why?” “This isn’t Snapchat!” “Let’s not force it now. In the world but not of it… remember?!” But I can admit when I’m wrong […]
WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO ‘ENJOY GOD WHEN IT IS BORING – THE EVERYDAY, THE MUNDANE
In his YouTube video ‘Enjoy God When It’s Boring’, Joseph Solomon talks about glorifying God even in the mundane, ‘everyday’ activities like going to work or school. He draws on 1 Corinthians 10:31, where Paul is telling the Christians in Corinth to make sure that everything they do, including their eating and drinking, brings glory to God. […]

HOW A NON-CHRISTIAN MADE JESUS ‘KNOWN’ TO ME
As a Christian, one of my primary beliefs is the Gospel as good news to be shared. I believe I am called to know Jesus and tell other people of Him. It’s my job to make Him known.
Growing up in the UK, most people had some idea (however skewed it is) of who Jesus is – mainly down to Religious Education in school.
STRESS IS NOT MY FRIEND
As of now, I’ve handed in four out of five of my assignments due this month. I submitted two group projects today and if that has taught me anything it’s I handle stress badly. I am a really good team player – and that’s not me boasting! And I really do thrive under pressure. But […]
CHRISTIAN FEMINIST? FEMINIST CHRISIAN?
Christian. Feminist. Can you be both? Are the two mutually exclusive? As a Christian, we are often taught views about women that can come across as sexist or oppressive. Often these views are ‘legitimised’ by Bible scriptures so they aren’t questioned or opposed. On the other side of the spectrum, the media tells you that […]
FIVE DAYS OF TEARS AND RESTORATION
I cried five days in a row. Not for anything bad, but just because I could not physically fathom how amazing God is. Last week, I went to Wales for the weekend, with my friends from my fellowship RY Sheffield. This wasn’t a cheeky getaway, as much as we did have fun, it was a retreat. […]
NICE GUYS AND GIRLS DON’T WIN??
I’ve always wondered why people say nice guys (and girls) don’t win. Why is that? Why do we believe that? Forget bag for life, I am a friend for life.
JEHOVAH JIREH, MY PROVIDER
Guys, this is a really real, really raw post, because right now, in this very moment, I am feeling some really real, really raw feelings. It is days like this, moments like these that I begin to understand why they call God Jehovah Jireh! He is a provider. When you need something, He will supply […]
GOD WORKED THROUGH HIS DECEPTION
I wrote this post for Lively Stones and can be found here! I was reading Genesis 27:19-33, which is the story of how Jacob, with the help of his mother Rebekah, deceived his father, Isaac and stole his older brother Esau’s blessings.
PRAY FOR PARIS, PRAY FOR HUMANITY
My heart is really heavy, right now. There are so many things going on in the world that make me feel small, and useless and out of control. Yes, I know this is not about me but I want to be able to feel like I have done something to reduce the hurt that our world […]
