Dear Friends,
Face App, the mobile app that allows you to age or youthen (Glen said it, take it up with him) an image of yourself has seen somewhat of a resurgence in recent week. It seems we can hardly look at social media without seeing an elderly shot of a celebrity or a member of our social circle. But why has it taken off again all of a sudden and what can we learn from it? Our content this week has examined just this.
Earlier in the week Paul and Glen took to Eastbourne beach and asked locals to try out the app whilst our camera captured their reaction. How would they react to seeing themselves 30 or 40 years down the line? Find out in our video “Can We Face The Future?”
Glen shared some reflections on people’s reactions in this week’s monologue, before he and Paul chatted in a bit more depth on the LIVEcast/podcast. The LIVEcast/podcast also features an interview with Robin Ham who has recently written about the faceapp phenomenon over on his blog ‘That Happy Certainty’. Make sure to read his article and then check out Glen’s interview with him.

Dear Friends,

But now we need your support to make it a reality. We’re looking to raise £30,000 towards the work of our interns in the year ahead. Please consider whether you could help us by giving a one off gift towards supporting these young evangelists. If you can, head over http://speaklife.org.uk/foundry/ where you can donate and as a bonus, you can also claims a FREE EBOOK put together by Glen – Christ In All Of Scripture.

How do Christians feel about “religion”? We’re like a woman who’s always been dead against the institution of marriage. But then she meets a guy. Maybe she even marries him. Why? Not because she believes in marriage per se, but because she believes in him. Christians are those who have ‘met a guy’

Dear Friends,
Much of our time at the moment is consumed with trying to finish as many practical jobs as possible in order to get the building ready for the beginning of the Foundry internship programme in September. This has meant much lifting of heavy objects, discerning what things to keep and what to chuck and definitely too much time spent in stiflingly hot loft space attempting to store away bits we need to keep but want out the way.
As such, our output has been a little lower this week but we still have some bits for you to check out. If you’re looking for some encouragement, why not listen to Paul’s sermon on 1 Corinthians 15 on the topic of the resurrection of the dead. Wonderful encouragement for believer and a challenge to those as yet undecided.
Glen and Paul also found time to record a LIVEcast, where in the wake of Pride month, they discussed whether we have reached peak pride.

Dear Friends,
Last weekend saw the annual Glastonbury Festival delight festival goers. One particular performance that caught people’s attention was that of Stormzy, the South London grime artist, with his powerful performance of his worship-like song ‘Blinded By Your Grace’. Stormzy unashamedly told the crowd they were going to give all the glory to God before leading the assembled ‘congregation’ in a song of praise. But many Christians have been critical of the rapper after the rest of his show featured a number of profanities. So what are we to make of figures like Stormzy who at one moment give glory to God and in the next appear just as worldly as everyone else? Glen and Paul share their thoughts on this week’s LIVEcast.
On a more note, the conservative evangelical church in the UK has been rocked by the allegations that have recently surfaced concerning the improper conduct of Jonathan Fletcher, a former incumbent at Emmanuel Wimbledon and a prominent figure in the Iwerne Camps movement, as well as in conservative circles at large. As what happened comes to light, we ask what do we do when Christians are compromised? All that on this week’s LIVEcast.
And don’t miss a short video Glen did for the School of Faith, which includes a great illustration for our evangelism.
