Coming up next

With so many festivals to choose from, you could be forgiven for thinking Christian festivals are all competing. Esther spoke to Rich Johnson, National Leader of New Wine, Rev Tim Alford, National Director of Limitless, and Sarah Yardley, speaker at Wildfires Festival, about what really goes on behind the scenes. They share stories of festival chaos, why big-name speakers matter less, and a remarkable story of self-harm scars disappearing before their eyes.

Have you ever considered inviting the Holy Spirit on holiday with you? When she’s not presenting, Esther Higham leads MOJO (Ministers of Jesus Out There) — recently taking her team to Malaga to explore what happens when you use your gifts to bring ministry into everyday holiday moments. She was joined by MOJO team member Katie Drew, and Will and Lara Sussman from Altitude Mission, to reflect on what it means to take a “Holy Spirit holiday” — and why dialect is no barrier to sharing your faith.

The Green Party is proposing a system of “fair shares” that could limit things like meat, dairy, petrol and flying. But should reducing consumption be enforced—or is it something Christians should choose for themselves? How do we enjoy God’s gifts while caring for creation? Dr Ruth Valerio, Dr Martin and Revd Dr Margot Hodson joined Esther to explore the faith questions behind the debate. Esther also spoke to Brother Samuel about living a climate-conscious lifestyle.
