Make Church Weird Again w/ Paul Friend

This week David and Caroline sat down with Paul Friend, the director of South West Youth Ministries (SWYM)! SWYM has had a long standing partnership with Lee Abbey, bringing in multiple times a year, groups of passionate youth workers in training. The three of them talk about what community in a church setting really means, authenticity (aka allowing the weird) in churches, and how the newest generation of youth workers has inspired a revival of connection. We are always blessed when SWYM passes by and wanted to share the love online, so listen along and let's keep it weird!

Revelations is weird with Ian Paul

Time for a deep dive into Revelations! Have you been avoiding Revelations (we can all be guilty of avoiding what feels like a huge daunting, book) well, meet Ian Paul. Drawn to Revelations after a calling from God when asked, "What do you want" and answering “to help people read scripture” well, God put a challenge on his heart to tackle Revelations. In this podcast you will hear David and Caroline work through a long lasting marital debate (is the world getting better or worse towards the end), what a true lukewarm Christian is and how the Revelations was not written to us but for us. Ian Paul has been a beloved speaker at Lee Abbey for years, check out our upcoming programmes to find similar topics, or book ahead for future retreats with Ian Paul.

Helen Collins-Leading a Church in Fragmented Times

This week David and Caroline Hammond sit down with Helen Collins to talk about being church leaders in a fragmented world and how to authentically navigate heavy topics with love and compassion. Being a minister of the gospel has never been so complex! We know we should lead others in prayer, bible reading and fellowship, but what does it mean to do this amid the huge global challenges of Artificial Intelligence, the climate crisis, global migration, cost of living crisis, social media influence, neurodiversity, decolonisation and mental health struggles – to name a few! Helen Collins is Vice Principal (Academic) and Tutor in Practical Theology at Trinity College, Bristol. She has written on a range of topics, including Reordering Theological Reflection: Starting with Scripture (SCM), Mary the Worshipping Mother: Reclaiming Mary’s Motherhood for Contemporary Mums (Grove) and Charismatic Christianity: Introducing Its Theology Through the Gifts of the Spirit (Baker Academic). Her forthcoming publication is tentatively entitled: Mary the First Spirit-Filled Disciple. Helen is an ordained Anglican, she is married to Simon and is the mother to three teenaged children.
