Today sees the release of ‘Let There Be Light’ - a documentary exploring the pattern of harmful behaviours experienced under the leadership of Mike Pilavachi, a prominent figure in the UK Church. Our hope is for this film to be something of a care-package for the hurting, at the same time asking how we might become a healthier Church in the future. We know it won’t serve everyone, but we pray it will help some.

We tell our story to shine light and help validate other’s experiences. It would have been much easier to say nothing - but a culture of silence up until now has been a significant force. Other voices speaking into this documentary are Dr Diane Langberg (recognised for her 50 years of clinical work with trauma victims), Dr Chi-Chi Obuaya (a respected London Harley Street consultant psychiatrist) and Dr Amy Orr-Ewing (a regarded UK theologian with a passion to advocate for survivors of abuse.) The film also points to some key organisations who provide support in this area and also safeguarding resources for churches.

While speaking on a painful subject it’s also important to acknowledge all of the pastors out there faithfully loving those that God has entrusted to them.

This is a story Beth and I chose to tell. Our prayer is for the healing of yesterday’s wounds and a brighter, safer Church tomorrow.
Let there be Light.

I came to church thinking that faith would be like an epidural.

Something that would take all my pain away.

But I found out that faith is more like a midwife.

A nurturing partner who leans into the pain with me.

Read this whole thing. It’s incredible. Short version: a New Testament master’s student named Libbie may have discovered a textual variation that will change our Bibles as we know them. https://t.co/pD6nYYvJEN

Running a business upside down is far more fun than telling everyone what to do…helping and trusting people to run the business on your behalf makes sense both culturally and financially. Less control…more trust and kindness instead!

Word of the day is 'swullocking' (19th century dialect): broiling with heat; sultry and sweltering.

Part of our homeschooling project was to create a logo for our school so the 3 of us did some sketches, voted on the best parts and then I combined them to make this... 😂

It's bonkers but beautiful!
