Is a leap of faith a spectacular swallow dive? Or perhaps a series of mundane trips, falls and stumbles? In this post Ben takes an honest look at the series of steps which make up a life of faith.

I was in Zimbabwe. The day before I had enjoyed one of the most amazing experiences ever: seeing the incredible Victoria Falls. Today was different. I looked over the edge, heart pounding. I could make out the water in the bottom of the river Zambezi, far, far below. It had seemed like such a good

What happens when you reduce the noise in your life? Chris and Rachel explore together some of the benefits of staying quiet once in a while.

Over the last Bank Holiday weekend, my wife Jenny and I visited a garden centre.  We saw the statue above, and I just had to buy it.  So, if you come to our house and venture into the garden, you will see it displayed in all its glory in one of our flower beds. For me, it provokes

What does the word flow mean to you? Not the watery kind, but the human kind. Musicians use it, surfers use it, but what is it and how can we experience more of it?

Jesus once said: “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” (John 7:37-38) We can go to Jesus for living water, he is the original source, but this living water will then flow from

Not sure if you have seen it, but there is an excellent series on Netflix called “The House of David.”  If you haven’t tuned in, it is well worth a look.  This is series two.  Series one was number one in America.  Says something about people’s appetite for someth

We all need clarity but how hard are we prepared to look for it. Chris Explores this in our latest blog. Take a look!

I t’s true we are all travelling along life’s pathway on a unique journey.  Sometimes the path is straight and flat, and other times it can be steep with blind corners.  We can’t always see where we are going.  It’s why we need people around us to share the journey, to enc

A different kind of blog post today. How are your hands?

Consider your hands. They tell quite a story and are used in myriad ways. I fear that mine show I have never done a day’s hard labour in my life. Psalm 134 includes the instruction “ Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the Lord. ” I’m going to avoid the temptation to overexplain a

At some point in our spiritual life, we all need breakthrough. But what does collaboration with our creator look like?

This is a blog with a difference.  It is an honest look at life with a twist of the prophetic.  Have you ever heard the expression “under pressure, something is formed?”  Over time and with extreme temperature and pressure, diamonds are formed.  Unless you are at

If adventure is your thing, we have committed to walking the south west coastal path. It'll be a long journey but we will get there... A group has left today for Exmouth, check out what they are up to below and maybe you'd like to join us on the next one? There's always room for new folk and our adventures are all age. In the meantime the rest of us are meeting for brekkie tomorrow in Ham park. Love to see you there if you're about. All details on our adventures page.

The South West Coast Path rumbles on. We’ve now walked from Poole to Exmouth, and in 2026 the big aim is Plymouth. This weekend we’re taking on Exmouth to Teignmouth on Saturday — 12.9km, a gentle 129m of elevation. The book calls it easy! Sunday is Teignmouth to Babbacombe — shorter at 10.3...

We are so fortunate to have different voices writing for us. Here's a creative blog from Chris who has been thinking about Time.

Time is a constant companion who walks with you throughout your life It is like your heart that keeps on beating even when you are asleep A friend who sits with you through life’s ups and downs without speaking It holds your hand and offers you comfort whilst it quietly ticks on by It punctuates

A great piece from Ben here about why connection is so important, even if it comes at cost.

Humans seem hard-wired to seek connection. From ‘finding your tribe’ to cliques that form in school and, looking back a little further, the idea that no man is an island, the need to connect is pervasive. You see it in culture as well where a country-wide obsession with the Traitors provided a f...
