Dear Friends,

It’s an exciting time for us as this week has seen the release of two new Easter videos. “Unwinnable: The Game That’s True To Life” is a 15 minute documentary looking at the story of the game “That Dragon,Cancer,” a game based on the true life story of Joel Green and his battle with cancer. The documentary looks at the story from the point of view of Joe’s parents, Ryan and Amy, and how their faith carried them through those events.

If 15 minutes is too long for you, why not check out the 4 minute version, “That Dragon, Death,” a condensed version of the documentary which is great for sharing on social media, as well as for use in churches this Easter time.

After Glen’s return from the States, we considered the difference in context between the States and ourselves here in the UK and how they require different ways of thinking when it comes to evangelism. Check out this week’s LIVEcast to hear us Paul and Glen discuss how to reach those who are far from the gospel. Or grab the audio on our podcast.

And do keep praying for and sharing the Speak Life Foundry, our new intern programme starting in September. With building work on our new look studio and teaching spaces well underway, we now need some interns to fill them.

In case you missed any of that, we’ve collected all of these resources for you right here!

• Paul is preaching at the cafe church of All Saints Crowborough on Friday evening – pray for wisdom to know what to say about evangelism.
• The building work at the Speak Life office – pray for a smooth process and for works to run to schedule and budget.

Dear Friends,

In contrast to the busyness of last week, this week has been a little quieter, particularly in terms of output. With Glen away in the States and our offices undergoing renovation, we’re in a slightly strange limbo state. But that doesn’t mean we’ve been sitting on our hands.

Monday night saw the release of an interview with Alastair Roberts. Alastair is a writer, scholar, youtuber & podcaster.who works for the Davenant Institute and the Theopolis institute. Glen chatted with him about how Christians can best navigate social media, in what was an incredibly insightful interview.You can get the standalone audio in this week’s podcast. One not to be missed!

With Glen at The Gospel Coalition Conference in Indianapolis, Paul was left to do the LIVEcast by himself. He shares some thoughts on praying for Brexit, we catch up with Glen’s travels and we get a sneak preview at our Easter video, “That Dragon, Death” based on the video game “That Dragon, Cancer,” a game created by Ryan and Amy Green as a way to deal with and remember their son Joel who passed away from terminal cancer aged 4. Watch out for the full release in coming weeks and for a full length interview with the couple.

And do keep praying for and sharing the Speak Life Foundry, our new intern programme starting in September. With building work on our new look studio and teaching spaces well underway, we now need some interns to fill them.

Dear Friends,

It’s been a busy week for us as we make preparations to move out of our offices to make room for a team of builders. For the next 6-8 weeks, we’ll be operating from elsewhere whilst the Speak Life building undergoes extensive remodelling in preparation for our new Foundry programme beginning in September. If you haven’t heard of the Speak Life Foundry, we’re growing our team and seeking to raise up the next generation of evangelists. Could you join us in Eastbourne from this September? Or do you know people who could? It would particularly suit school- or university-leavers with a passion for mission and perhaps also creative gifts. Do spread the word!

This week’s LIVEcast features discussions about virtue signalling and the ramping up of anger on all sides, with particular reference to the recent de-platforming of Jordan Peterson by Cambridge University. We also think about our tendency to jump to conclusions before the verdict is in. If something is true, it’ll be huge, but is it true? And ought we to take a minute before chiming in on it?

You can also watch Paul’s recent talk on Revelation 4 given at All Saints Crowborough on the theme of the one seated on the throne.

Dear Friends,

Most of us will be aware of the terrible tragedy that took place in Christchurch, New Zealand last week, where at the time of writing, 50 muslims lost their lives after a shooter entered a mosque and opened fire. With the country and indeed the world reeling from the events, many have responded in different ways. But what is the Christian response? In this week’s monologue, Glen shares some thoughts on the situation, and both he and Paul take the time to think further about this during this week’s LIVEcast.

We also continued our Thorny Questions series with another instalment looking at the Bible. This week we consider whether the gospels are simply a fairytale and we look to both C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien for some answers.

At Speak Life we want to expand our output as well as expand our team. The Speak Life Foundry exists to help raise up the next generation of evangelists. Could you join us in Eastbourne from this September? Or do you know people who could? It would particularly suit school- or university-leavers with a passion for mission and perhaps also creative gifts. Do spread the word!
