  1. TikTok Boom? | Glynn Harrison

    9 FEB

    TikTok Boom? | Glynn Harrison

    A mental health crisis is brewing. It has been since the early 2010s. Rates of self-harm, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and suicide have risen sharply over the last decade, and the trend continues amongst Generations Z and Alpha. All this coincides with the explosion of social media, the defining cultural shift of our time. Modern life is more connected than ever, yet many feel more anxious, distracted, and dissatisfied. How then can we truly flourish? In this episode of Salt Live, we hear from Professor of Psychiatry Glynn Harrison as he explores the effect of social media on our minds and lives, and whether we can have faith in the future.

    Spiritual but not religious: Freedom or fallacy? | Simon Edwards

    Sage and crystals, star signs and chakras. The modern West may be less religious than in the past, but it is no less spiritual. Many have traded Christianity, with its dos and don’ts, for spiritual practices offering transcendence without obligation. Yet, in the noisy and confusing marketplace of spiritual practices, many feel untethered and uncertain. Does being “spiritual but not religious” offer the freedom it promises? Does it satisfy our souls’ deep ache for higher power? Recorded live in London on 7 October 2025, this episode of Salt Live features author and speaker Simon Edwards as he explores our culture’s shift towards spiritual autonomy — and how the Christian faith speaks to our longing for freedom and transcendence.

    Never Enough: Can self-improvement really fix us? | Daniel Ogbonna

    We live in a generation obsessed with self-improvement. Bullet Journaling, juice cleanses, cold plunges. And, of course, much of it works. Many of us have achieved far more than our parents or grandparents could have dreamt of. And yet, the focus on self-improvement has a dark side. We become anxious about our performance. We obsess over the small details of our sleep, diet, exercise, mental health, and habits. Our world feels smaller. Some of us have burnt ourselves out in the pursuit of perfection. And even when you make the gains, you’re left wondering what’s next. On Tuesday, 20th May 2025, we hosted Salt Live with speaker Daniel Ogbonna. In a room full of curious Londoners, he unpacked the perils of our collective perfectionism and explored what ancient Christian wisdom has to say to our hunger for self-improvement.

  6. Screen Fatigue: How to be human in the digital age | Jeremy Moses

    Screen Fatigue: How to be human in the digital age | Jeremy Moses

    Less than 20 years after the birth of the iPhone, screens have become the dominant presence in modern life. We work, plan, socialise, read, and entertain ourselves through them. Barely a minute goes by without a pick-up.  And yet, we’re increasingly aware that too much screen time is harmful. Heightened anxiety from constant doomscrolling. Brain-rot from too much YouTube. Insecurity from perpetual comparison. We’re bored and addicted to our phones.   We feel like something is wrong. But buying a dumbphone or reducing screen time isn’t enough. What if the problem is deeper? Do we need to understand the roots of our habits? On Tuesday, 4th February 2025, we hosted our latest Salt Live event where speaker Jeremy Moses shared his take on the digital dilemma with a room of curious Londoners. Jeremy is a former start-up leader, as well as a leadership coach, pastor and speaker. He has experience counselling and coaching young professionals in London and helps to lead Grace London, a young church in central London. He is married to Jen and has three children.

  7. The Case Against Secularism | Glen Scrivener

    The Case Against Secularism | Glen Scrivener

    For centuries, secularism has been heralded as humanity’s golden bullet. Society will flourish if we reject religion, so we’ve been told. No more truth, intolerance or control.  But over recent years, a wave of backlash has formed. Feminist thinkers have slammed secular ethics, cultural Christianity is on the rise, and prominent atheist figures have come to faith. Meanwhile, a ‘meaning crisis’ is quietly brewing as many struggle to find significance in a society emptied of religion and purpose. Has secularism overpromised? Are we really better off in a society without faith? And how can we find significance for our lives in secularism’s crumbling shadow? On Tuesday, 15th October 2024 we hosted our latest Salt Live event where we were joined by guest speaker Glen Scrivener and a room of curious Londoners who came to hear what Glen had to say on this subject. Glen is a regular speaker at universities, churches and other public forums across the UK. He directs Speak Life, a Christian digital media company, and has authored several books, including The Air We Breathe: How We All Came to Believe in Freedom, Kindness, Progress, and Equality. Originally from Australia, he lives in Eastbourne with his wife Emma and their two children.

  8. Does religion poison everything? | Glen Scrivener

    Does religion poison everything? | Glen Scrivener

    The writer Christopher Hitchens famously claimed that ‘religion poisons everything’. For many, religion appears to be the cause of much of the world’s intolerance, division and even violence. And yet, for others, religion is a source of personal meaning and existential peace. Why is In this archive episode from our Salt Live event in January 2019, popular Christian speaker and author, Glen Scrivener, dives into the world of anti-theism and seeks to explore why religion can be so polarising. Originally from Australia, Glen regularly speaks at universities, churches and other public forums across the UK. Glen will be back at Salt Live on 15th October 2024 and will be speaking on why faith makes sense in our modern age, at our upcoming talk, "The Case Against Secularism."
