It was a real pleasure to be interviewed by Ruth Jackson for an episode of the Active Generosity podcast series from @stewardshipnews. There was a nice bit of reminiscing about the generosity I have received from others amidst talking about how we grow generosity in the church.

Glorious weather here at @CCT_Conferences High Leigh for the @churchofengland National Giving Conference. Really looking forward to a time of inspiration and encouragement.

Really pleased that my Living Generously series for @RightNowMedia has been turned into a reading plan on the @YouVersion bible app. And saw the advert for the bible app on the tube yesterday and burst out laughing, top marketing that.

[Jonathan de Bernhardt Wood @GivingDirector]

Really enjoyed making these with the excellent @RightNowMedia , and great to see the whole series available for people to watch.

Looking forward to speaking at the online #FundraisingNow conference run by @DSC_Charity today, I'll be speaking about faith- based fundraising.

It has been so good to work with @RightNowMedia on a series of short films on living generously. I am really looking forward to them being released on Feb 6th, and here's the trailer that tells more of the story. https://t.co/bZdLvPJNDX

That was a great day, so good to be back together and to learn from each other (and laugh with each other) at the national giving conference. So much food for thought too, and inspiration and hope for the future.

@SaxtonJoe Thanks Joe. Carlisle diocese is one of the pilot dioceses for our national roll out of contactless devices, so over 100 churches in the diocese have been given them and the response has been really encouraging.

@davidtstout @swdoherty @RevdRich Really happy to be involved in this conversation. We've learnt so much over the last few months in terms of how online training can encourage generosity in our churches.

[Jonathan de Bernhardt Wood @GivingDirector]

@davidtstout Yes, we were involved in the consultation on it and we're happy to support it.

[Jonathan de Bernhardt Wood @GivingDirector]

@markadams_22 That would be great, I'm here until the afternoon break.

Really looking forward to 'leaping into the future of giving' with @DioManchester today. Amazing to think this venue is going to be packed in an hour, should be a cracking day.
