@Hammer_On_X @WestHam He needs to learn how to make a final pass instead of running back into trouble!

@nocontextfm1 Just everything about December
- injuries
- budget reductions
- so many games
- form drop off (every year!)

Possibly one of the most relatable posts I’ve ever seen

[Sam Graham @SamGrah24734964]

We’ve had an unchurched parent feed back that one of our newly Christian young people has been completely transformed by Jesus (in the post positive way) and is telling people about Jesus while online gaming
This is feedback we live for 🙌🏼

@AliCampbell_68 This! How would you negotiate this a few years into post?

What a privilege it was to lead @Youthscape Essentials course with youth volunteers across Milton Keynes and Buckingham with youthwork+
Today saw our last of 3 training days this academic year and was awesome to see the growth of these amazing people

If using satire that dehumanises those who are suffering to jab at their opposition is what the conservatives call politics then they need to be taught what their title of “Minister” means! 😡

Disgusting and disgraceful

Don't wake up to this on 5th July.

Make the cup smaller and you the state of youth and kids work 🤷🏼‍♂️
Y&K workers also shouldn’t have to live in hardship but have far less benefits and perks of ordinands
More taps and bigger cups please based on this image

Ordinands should not have to live in hardship

It is no wonder many are avoiding residential training. A more efficient and fairer system is needed, argues Mike Edwards

Whatever God I’d doing here in the uk I’m here for it!
We’ve had young people for our community come to prayer meetings, join Alpha & invite more friends the following week, they’re asking for bibles and have a hunger for God like I’ve never seen

Matt saying he’s forgiven Mike was a profound moment for me in this documentary.
More accountability is needed across the board and the voices of those lower down the system need to be heard and respected

[Matt Redman @matt_redman]

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.

@WestHam_Central Isn’t the job of a head coach to train out these mistakes and make the players better?
I think Moyes hit his peak last year and has run out of ideas - he’s lost control and can’t stabilise (though the board don’t help)

Anyone want to help me buy West Ham so we can sort this mess out?
