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!

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

Dear Friends,

This week saw the return of our Thorny Questions series and saw the release of 5 mini videos looking at 5 problems people have with the Bible. We’ve released one video each evening this week. They’re short and too the point, so check them out and get sharing.

On this week’s LIVEcast we took a more detailed look at the 5 problems so if the videos have tweaked your interest, check out the LIVEcast for some more thoughts. Or if video isn’t for you, why not pick it up as part of our podcast?

And if you’re a social media user in any form, make sure you don’t miss Glen’s thoughts on the top 3 tips for using social media.

After two weeks away on university missions, this week we’re back in the office but there’s still a chance to enjoy one of Glen’s talks from Warwick University on the topic of Meaning and Purpose. It’s available over on youtube.

If you’ve not seen the provocative discussion between Sue Thayer (ex-Planned Parenthood) and Ann Furedi (BPAS) on a recent episode of Unbelievable, make sure to go and give it a look. And then see Glen and Paul’s discussion of it on the LIVEcast as either a video or in podcast format, where we use Gloria Gaynor to poke holes in Ann Furedi’s position. Intrigued? Thought so. We also reflect on the university missions and think about how we should respond to recent scandals rocking the church.
