From a window, just this morning Golden brushstrokes tipped the east February winter morning Sky a salmon-mottled feast Narnian white arrayed the garden Trees were silhouetted bare Anyone would surely pardon Me, for standing rapt right there (Photo by @nickthomas1968) @IMcMillan

Is there meaning to life? Can we live without God? Journalist James Marriott says he's been an atheist since his teens. His friend Elizabeth Oldfield, host of The @sacred_podcast, thinks he's an inconsistent nihilist. They discuss meaning, beauty, literature and poetry... and whether we are seeing a new openness to faith among Gen Z. ▶️ Watch or 🎧 listen to Ep 6 of Uncommon Ground 👉 justinbrierley.com/uncommon-groun…

@RadioAndrewE @Bfdcathedral @sheridanvoysey @LeedsCofE @toby_howarth @NedLunn Thank you Andrew

@brucegulland @Bfdcathedral @sheridanvoysey @LeedsCofE @toby_howarth @NedLunn Wonderful - so very apt. Happy Easter, Bruce

In a time of warfare & violence, a little #poem for #Easter. Wishing you #resurrection life & hope. @RadioAndrewE @Bfdcathedral @malcolmguite @DeanSouthwark @sheridanvoysey @glenscrivener @JusBrierley @holytrinityidle @LeedsCofE @toby_howarth @NedLunn #faith #EasterSunday2026🙏

@Rhidianbrook Loved this and yesterday's TFTD on The Detectorists

Operation Epic Fail/Love (Today's Thought for the Day) bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

This is an unmissable conversation. It may be my favourite of the series so far. Renowned philosopher and psychiatrist @dr_mcgilchrist delves into consciousness, brains and spirituality (as well as opening up about his recent embrace of Christian faith) in a conversation with influential neuroscientist @anilkseth. ▶️ Watch or 🎧 Listen to our latest episode of Uncommon Ground 👉 justinbrierley.com/uncommon-groun…

A #poem marking the 4th anniversary of Russia's war on #Ukraine. Hopeful that art can help highlight injustice. Recalling the service of solidarity @Bfdcathedral when war broke out. From a place of #faith & concern. @AleemMaqbool @BBCR4Sunday @BBCSteveR @Bradford_TandA @bcbradio

A sketch #poem prompted by one of the week's big news stories, where the human drama readily invites an element of #spiritual reflection. Mentioning one or two others whose content I value @seenunseenmag @sheridanvoysey @JusBrierley @glenscrivener @RadioAndrewE #Faith #Andrew 🙏

1,000 days of war in Sudan – an indefensible milestone. I won’t forget horrors I heard and courage I saw. We must match that courage with action. End this war. Uphold international law. Fund lifesaving work.

Many saw scientific discoveries of the 17th, 18th and 19th Centuries as casting doubt on the existence of God. But a 'Great Reversal' has happened in the 20th Century according to bestselling book 'God: The Science, The Evidence'. I host a conversation between Philosopher of Science @StephenCMeyer, author of 'Return Of The God Hypothesis' and @michelbollore, co-author of 'God: The Science, The Evidence'. 👉 youtu.be/yfT5FCzBmwI

But when these three arrive they bring us with them, Gentiles like us, their wisdom might be ours; A steady step that finds an inner rhythm, A  pilgrim’s eye that sees beyond the stars A Sonnet for Epiphany malcolmguite.wordpress.com/2026/01/06/a-s…

A #poem for #Epiphany. Aiming for a fresh take on ancient drama, that might catch a sceptic's attention. Thinking of others I'm inspired or 'thought-provoked' by...@malcolmguite @seenunseenmag @glenscrivener @RadioAndrewE @JusBrierley @NedLunn @Bfdcathedral @sheridanvoysey #faith

In 2025, our conversations explored how faith continues to shape the world — from @holland_tom on Christianity’s impact, to voices like @BethMooreLPM, @DouthatNYT, @MiroslavVolf, @MalcolmGuite, and more reflecting on calling, love, reason, and hope. More: loom.ly/TR6r6aY

Along a stony, thorn-pricked path, thicket-strewn and grey I sought out scraps and promises, scattered on the way Dreams undone, from tired ill-trodden tracks I did alight And hope, frail bird, soft-stirred, awoke, and stole across my sight #HappyNewYear2026 #poems @malcolmguite

A #poem for #christmaseve. Does the childhood longing hold a lasting significance? Seeking with brevity to engage a broad audience about #faith. @seenunseenmag @beatrixscudeler @malcolmguite @toby_howarth @ChristianPoetry #christmaspoem #advent #adventpoems #Christmas #santachat

@RadioAndrewE @IMcMillan @Bfdcathedral @JusBrierley Thanks Andrew. Merry Christmas to you and yours 🙂

@brucegulland @IMcMillan @Bfdcathedral @JusBrierley Another gem, Bruce. Thank you 🙏🎄

#nature can be a witness to #spiritual things, especially moments like #WinterSolstice. Yesterday's #poem, sharing with a few whose interest it may spark... #Poet @IMcMillan, @RadioAndrewE whose photos I love; @Bfdcathedral keen on arts; fellow 're-enchanter' @JusBrierley #faith

@sheridanvoysey @DeanSouthwark @briandraperuk @sacred_podcast @beatrixscudeler Thank you Sheridan. I'm well thanks, will drop you a message

@brucegulland @DeanSouthwark @briandraperuk @sacred_podcast @beatrixscudeler Love those last two lines. Beautiful. Hope you're well!

A #poem for #Advent seeking to capture something spiritual about #WinterSolstice. Perhaps short #poetry has potential for cut-through. Thinking of others whose thoughts I've enjoyed in recent media. @sheridanvoysey @DeanSouthwark @briandraperuk @sacred_podcast @beatrixscudeler🙏

No better time to #GiveBlood. Glad to be able to deliver an 0 neg donation in #bradford in the run up to #Christmas. @GiveBloodNHS #AdventCalendar 🙏
