The May ‘Seize the Day’ podcast is now online.
In it we’re talking again to Bryan Knell from Global Connections. This month he’s making some suggestions about how churches can change their approach to mission.
I’m also joined on this programme by John Ayrton, the pastor of Portswood Church in Southampton. I hope John is going to be co-hosting the podcast in future. (I’ll declare an interest: John and I were school friends, and he was my best man, so I have a slight bias here.)
We’re talking about contemporary spirituality and the idea that a spiritual orientation is ‘hard-wired’ into us biologically.
