I’ve spent 5 years trying to encourage the church with digital. It won’t surprise you I’ve made little progress I'll continue to support the local church, but to make progress with a hybrid Methodism then it needs roots outside our existing structures yorkshirenemethodist.org/digital-resour…

We're back with a new podcast conversation from us Some updates on how things are going two weeks into having a new baby and how our 3 year old is managing the transition open.spotify.com/episode/3QmOAP…

This week on our #ParentingPodcast we chat about our experience of renting/trying to buy a house when you have a toddler. The positives & struggles. Not sure if it's unusual or quite commonplace for our generation... dontwakethebaby_podcast youtu.be/b7xGdhbj7ko?si…
