In Conversation with Ali Boulton

Here we chat to the brilliant Ali Boulton who talks about the work she does on new housing estates...  

Ali was a sort of Bishop type person in the Baptist Church, and I remember seeing her helping a colleague/friend out at new wine when his kids were sick in the night, mopping up sick and helping tired parents... Showing servant leadership in a way that really inspired me. She's very cool and wise, and worth a listen!

Wednesday Webinar 6: Jackie Davies

Jackie tells her story (very honestly and vulnerably), for those who don't know Jackie she was a minister with Elim (leading for a while the church in Kingswood where I was Vicar).  Jackie was chair of the Evangelical Alliance and spearheaded the turning mission in Bristol, and is the only person I know who can 'accidentally plant a church'...  Worth a listen/watch.

In Conversation with Alan Jenner

Much of my ministry has been much more "pioneering" doing stuff around fresh expressions etc, Alan's work has been much more that of a traditional evangelist doing more "presentational evangelism"... Thought this would be an interesting conversation between the two of us!

Wednesday Webinar 4: Andy Mason

Wednesday Webinar 4: Andy Mason

Looking at Jesus saying 

"I will build my Church and even the gates of hell wont prevail against it"...  

We are called to "Seek first the Kingdom of God"...  What does it mean to be missional? The Five Marks of Mission, Tell, Teach, Treasure, Transform, Tend.  Stems from Discipleship "Doing the things of Jesus for reasons he does them".  

Mission is more than evangelism, words need to be backed by our walk -how we live our daily lives

Talk: Dave Smith - A Luke 10 Adventure

Talk: Dave Smith - A Luke 10 Adventure

Imagine going out on mission, not knowing where you were going without money and all your stuff -a bit like Jesus sent out both the 12 (in Luke 9) or the 72 (in Luke 10) here Dave tells his story of going out with the guys from Fusion (a University Mission group) where four of them just got on a plane and trusted God for a weekend and trusted that he would used them, and he did, it's about 24 minutes but an amazing story, worth checking out.... We hope to do something similar to this but would be within the UK.
