It's time to ditch the "celebrity Christian". csbvbristol.org.uk/2023/05/05/it-…

I wrote about Soul Survivor and how the culture of the minor Christian celebrity is still a problem even when the celebrities in question pretend not to be lucysixsmith.wordpress.com/2023/05/09/sou…

Events were then moved into the Sports Hall where music was played, pizza was eaten & shirts were signed. On to the GCSE exams which will come thick & fast, with the first one being Ethics on Monday. Good luck in the exams & your future. #MansheadCEAcademy

The allegations against Mike Pilavachi have devastated the Christian community. I spoke to David Gate about his experience as part of Soul Survivor for The Times and Sunday Times thetimes.co.uk/article/93e00a…

The Soul Survivor Situation - A Timeline mrsglw.wordpress.com/2023/05/14/the…

It is very concerning that Matthew Rayner who appears to work for @htbchurch & Alpha is in my DMs questioning why I needed to speak to the ‘secular press’ and telling me to ‘do better’ just a day after I shared my experiences as a child with Mike Pilavachi.

Actually can’t believe this! “Do better?” Maybe lots the church and its leadership (and the person that said this!) need to do better!

God loves women J John could have written privately to Pilavachi. Instead he has effectively stated publicly that accusations of abuse don’t matter, to him or to God. He just nuked his own apologetics.

Some thoughts on recent developments in the ongoing Mike Pilavachi investigation…

The silence has been the most painful element of this. I know there are 100s more stories. I hope they get told. It really changes things. I know it’s causing other church leaders to consider their own practices. That is good for everyone.

661 days since the Taliban banned girls from going to school, and 201 days since they banned women from going to university. Afghanistan is the only country in the world where education is denied to women and girls. How can the world still stay silent? aljazeera.com/amp/news/2023/…

"I’m heartbroken about Soul Survivor. I’m heartbroken that my old friend Matt Redman’s fragile heart is still broken. I’m desperately sad that my old friend Mike Pilavachi lied to himself, to others, to me for so long and still can’t acknowledge it." johnelliswords.wordpress.com/2023/07/15/fai…

She sat at the back and they said she was shy She led from the front and they hated her pride They asked her advice and then questioned her guidance They branded her loud then were shocked by her silence When she shared no ambition, they said it was sad So she told them her
