In this episode, I talk with Presbyterian Pastor Paul Moore about the shrinking Mainline Church and what he thinks can be done for churches to grow again. Paul believes that to grow you need to “grow young.”

Cathedrals and Christian Architecture

Not all of us have a highly decorated catholic #church just around the corner to visit, but while living in Belgium, I am fortunate to have such a building nearby. I spent an icy couple of hours sitting in it during January, sacrificing my ...

Entertained but Empty

While churches have embraced alternative entertainment forms such as festivals and talent shows to engage their congregations and communities, it is crucial to maintain a delicate balance. These events should align with the core principles of the Great Commission, which emphasises spreading the Gospel and making disciples.

The Importance of Small Churches (VIDEO)

I am reminded again and again that small is just small. It doesn’t signify God’s displeasure or anything.

Last Wednesday was a frustrating day. There were things I had planned that just didn’t get done. I had scheduled time with a fellow pastor to do an interview for my podcast and had technical issues that forced us to reschedule. I’ve been doing these weekly videos where I chat about faith and the news of the day, but I’ve been debating if it was worth doing them since not many watch the videos and…

Friendly reminder that if you used to go to Church or a Christian school as a kid, but did not continue to study or grow your faith as you got older, than - no, you actually don't understand Christianity on the same level as a practicing adult believer.

I'm tired of hearing people dismiss the Christian faith and say 'well, I went to church as a kid, so I know what you believe'. That's the same as saying, 'my parents took my to the aquarium every week as a kid, so I know as much as your average marine biologist'.

If you're going to brag about how much knowledge you have about Christianity anyway, you should at least try not to say it on posts where you get things blatantly wrong about the Bible, the Church or- idk- the core message of the Gospel.

firmly convinced the whole Button House unit was generally Aware of the particular vibes between their commanding officers but nobody could be arse to care about that frankly.

so maybe it is technically illegal, okay, but tonight is Cocktail Society night so that's actually more important at the moment.

And yeah they'll do their duty and eventually report them alright. just.. next week they're playing the RAF lads in cricket and they really do need both Havers' talent and the Captain as referee and, and also!! Nazi Germany is advancing so we honestly have bigger fish to fry here anyway
