Grateful to Tom Holland for bringing such stirring passion & challenge to an Albert Hall full of
Global Church leaders. Hope you felt the love. You’re a voice many of us are listening to. Thank you. (Did you clock us singing about the bowels of hell- thought you’d like that!)

As a family of faith we’re exploring what it means to keep step with Jesus, so today at our gathering we barely sat still. In fact, we rarely sit still!
Amazing to think that the Son of God comes to find us and to call us to follow him.
Family on a mission!

Define yourself radically as one beloved by God. This is the true self. Every other identity is illusion.

Today we teamed up with our friends at Blackburn Cathedral SaintWilfridsCofE Blackburn College Chaplaincy and The 180 Project to explore, with a few hundred young people, the story of Jesus becoming an outcast so we can be included.
And we got free coffee.
And the sun shone.
