"For anyone in leadership, it is easy to become greedy for praise or overly needy of affirmation...develop a ‘Main Character Syndrome’ where you put yourself at the centre of everything. We all need to manage our brittle egos."

@LucySixsmith I think its because people work in a binary way - is she 'against SS' or 'for SS'? I see this with blog posts all the time. Your book is full of nuance - you don't do anything as superficial as 'invalidate' songs - you raise important questions

Ash Wilcox found faith in Jesus at his lowest ebb - through the prayers of a hospital chaplain after taking an overdose.

"My advice to anyone struggling with mental health is to try start talking. Talk to friends, talk to professionals, talk to God."

"I became fascinated by the figure of Jesus the Christ...who eschewed violence, material prosperity, socially created hierarchies and called for the love of all people."

The best way to convince people you aren’t praying before a golden idol would be to not pray before a golden idol.

So often people make easy criticisms of those who get involved in politics as being 'self-serving' - but often the reality is the absolute opposite. @labourpress @SouthwarkLabour

@LucySixsmith sorry - wrong word to use - I just thought you might find it interesting and possibly overlapping with your experiences - from a group of people who are generally maybe a decade older than the generation you have written about

[Jon Kuhrt @jonkuhrt]

@LucySixsmith Hi Lucy - would love it if you could review this research I did on the views of a group of people I was in church with back 25 years ago: https://t.co/NKe3BATT01

'When The Music Fades' is Lucy Sixsmith's memoir of being a part of Soul Survivor and the 'history-makers' generation of the 90s and 00s.

What remains of worth when excitement dissipates and reality emerges?

We all need the discipline of paying attention to what is happening within ourselves – to examine our soul, who we really are. This is not about navel-gazing or self-indulgent analysis. It is about gathering resources in order to live authentically.

Our deepest core must be protected and nurtured. We must be dedicated and focused on its health because our lives and destiny depend on it.

"The Church must be a place where people who disagree on immigration policy, economics, borders, and national identity can still kneel at the same table...not baptised into left-wing purity culture or right-wing nationalism...we need Christ."

@EvangelicalsNow @jonkuhrt The 'lies, greed and the disaster [Shift] brings to his country and the world is a picture of what Donald Trump is doing to America and the world today.' Thank you for being so forthright in speaking out against Trump and the Christians who support him!

"At the centre of the fall of Narnia is the diabolical character of Shift, a talking ape."🐵

@JasonForCroydon Norbury Hill/Green Lane must be one of the most dangerous junctions in Croydon.

[Jon Kuhrt @jonkuhrt]

ANOTHER HORRIFIC accident on the junction of Green Lane and Norbury Hill just yards from my house. This must be one of the most dangerous traffic areas in London...how long before we get a solution? @AppuDhamodaran - what can we do to get some change?
