@glenscrivener I'm not sure 3000 people dying under judgement makes for a particularly happy anything. It's a strange parallel to draw out.
English
50 days from the Exodus: the law descends, marking out a peculiar people.
50 days from Easter: the Spirit descends, sending the people out to the nations.
The OT Pentecost: 3000 die under judgement.
The NT Pentecost: 3000 saved by the gospel.

I am struggling to comprehend this.
“The £100m Work and Health Programme, operating in England and Wales, will end in the autumn, providers have been told, at the same time that Rishi Sunak wants to cut benefits for 420,000 sick and disabled people in an attempt to force them into work – a move that charities say would instead leave people destitute.”
Hot on the heels of announcing that the government is fighting against “Sick note culture” ( see below ) by cutting disability benefits because it wants to get people back to work; you might think they are going to invest more into back-to-work schemes. But no, they are cutting the scheme.
I find it difficult that the words ‘social justice’ are emblazoned behind the Prime Minister , this approach to vulnerable people in our society doesn’t feel like justice at all.

"The prime minister announced fresh curbs on disability benefits on Friday, saying he wanted to explore whether some cash payments to claimants with mental health conditions could be replaced by treatment or access to services." I am very nervous about this latest campaign from the government on challenging the "Sick Note Culture" This looks like blaming people who are signed off medically from work for the challenges for our economy. 1. This is a problematic playbook - blame a vulnerable group for economic problems, ignore the experts and then make life harder for the vulnerable group. [ See the Rwanda Bill. ] 2. Naga Munchetty challenged the minister this morning arguing that the government is blaming GPs for the "sick note" culture and their solution is to make non medically expert people in charge of the process of signing people off sick. 3. The UK actually has a very low number of people on sick leave compared to other European nations. So this feels like blame throwing populism again. Rather than blaming people for being sick or having mental health challenges we need to look at the systems and culture we have created that has lead to this situation. Punishing people for being sick or not believing their mental health diagnosis looks both nasty and nonsensical.

Where trust is low and anxiety is high within a church or Christian org, I don’t care how loudly you proclaim the name of Jesus or how well you cast vision, you will find it hard to avoid the constant drumbeat of drama, division, discontent and dysfunction.
The reality is – highly anxious systems don’t thrive. Within them, creativity is stifled and connection is eroded. No amount of vision-casting or mission-articulating, no repetition of praise songs, no amount of incentivizing and motivating, will tame the beast of anxiety. It sounds like sacrilege, but it’s really spiritual bypassing to think you can simply pray the anxiety away.
Only the hard work of fostering trust and authentic connection, honest self-assessment and deep confession, real safety and equal accountability, and a shared vision that emerges from the collective creativity that trust breeds can begin to shift a system from anxiety to trust.
Sometimes our best spiritual work is the hard and highly relational work we do together.
