In a world full of connection, we often feel more disconnected than ever. Yet it’s slightly lazy to place all the blame at the feet of smartphones and other devices. It seems that humans throughout the ages haven’t always listened to each other well.
One of the great privileges of my Christian journey is to spend the first part of each day alone with my Saviour, to open my Bible, read a few verses and invite him to meet with me there. I also love encouraging others to do the same and have shown many people how to get started and make this a regular habit.

In British culture, it can feel obtrusive, even rude, to expect or ask that of people, but perhaps in order to come alongside people well at the start of their journey, we need to be humble enough to allow others to feel comfortable and to enter their lives.
What is the story by which you are living your life? It might sound a weird question, but our lives are shaped at the core by some purpose or aim, whether you are a follower of Jesus or not.
‘I want to go deeper in my relationship with God. A few harder things have happened in my life in the last two years and it’s causing me to ask big questions about the place of faith in my life.’
The person who said this to me last week is a faithful churchgoer, who tries to read their Bible and pray. On the outside things are absolutely fine, but on the inside there is a gap: if Jesus is who he says he is then there has to be more.
