Watching Boris Johnson deflect from what he's done wrong by saying, 'we've done all this good,' is reminiscent of Mark Driscoll deflecting from his critics with 'look at all the good we're doing.' Watch out for those who keep telling you about all the good they're doing.
“We long to be relevant, spectacular, and powerful, the toxic cocktail refused by Jesus in his wilderness temptation but gladly embraced by many pastors today.” - Henry Nouwen
Every day we see and support families overwhelmed by their circumstances and going through crises.
We are so proud of our volunteers who help families immediate needs, and also “walk upstream” and help families build resilience and connections that support them in the future 🙋🏾♂️
I used to argue with others who didn’t believe women could preach and pastor. So much energy wasted.
Nowadays, I just train and provide opportunities for women to preach in our congregation. And when they do, hearts are changed, Jesus is glorified and the church is edified.

"Hey, how are you?
You’re tired? How tired?
Oh, you’ve never been this tired in all your life kind of tired? You dream of sleeping for 10 years tired? Every part of you is tired, even your hair?
Yeah same" @guardian Brigid Delaney
Whole secondary school shut here for a week due to number of cases and all kids asked to isolate. Yet all restrictions likely lifted in 2 weeks?! If people are going to be asked to make their own decisions we need much better local communication re local risk levels.
