Okay, I know it's a cliched Disney track (Brother Bear 2003) and didn't get the reviewers buzzing with excitement. "Allmusic described the song as a "future American Idol standard...devoid of craftsmanship", adding it "positively radiate[s] Hollywood gloss - it's simply indicative of pop culture's voracious appetite for audio fast food". Wikipedia

However, that doesn't stop it from being a song that is meaningful to the listener. As a huge Phil Collins fan, who loves vocal harmony and a mean saxophone, it gets a thumbs up from me anyway!

"There's a better place somewhere out there.

Ooh, just take a look through my eyes...

everything changes, you'll be amazed what you'll find if you look through my eyes.

So don't run, don't hide. It will be alright, you'll see.

Trust me I'll be there watching over you

Over the years I have appreciated the perspectives of friends and family who have been able to see a bigger picture. When my marriage ended I remember my brother telling me that one day I would be able to see things much more clearly; that it wouldn't always feel like that.
But what about an even bigger picture? It led me to read again one of the Psalms which talks about God seeing our thoughts, our actions, our circumstances. Psalm 139 v 3, 11, 12

You notice everything I do and everywhere I go.

Suppose I said, "I'll hide in the dark until night comes to cover me over." But you see in the dark because daylight and dark are all the same to you.

When all I want to do is run away and hide; when it feels like the present moment is just too overwhelming; when I just don't understand what is happening...these are the times to have just a glimpse at how God views some things, because it helps to have someone around who can see the big picture; much deeper than the surface; much further than the horizon; much wider than our limited viewpoints.

Missionally Engaging n Local Community Course 

# data[].attributes.body
An 8 session course about missionally engaging in our community – loving the community, making disciples, birthing contextually relevant church - devised and taught by Ali Boulton.

Theology, Practice and Transformation (of ourselves and our community) are three key principles of the course.

This course is not about being given all the answers! Neither is it a simple blueprint for community engagement and making disciples/birthing church.  It is about unpacking some theology and exploring what God might be leading you to do and be in your context. It is about having an openness to be transformed by God ourselves as we pray for God’s kingdom to come in our communities.

Putting it into practice...

Peer Groups
Peer Groups are essentially an opportunity to have time and share encouragements and challenges; listen to God together; pray for the community you are engaging with - and to pray for one another as you step out in faith. You will be encouraged to meet with a peer group - either your team or a group you develop from the course.

Welcome to the New Housing Hub
A Network for Christians of all traditions who have a vision for engaging with new housing communities Working Together to Share God's Love with EVERY New Housing Area
In these times of housing crisis in which building new homes has been defined as a government priority, many cities, towns and villages are experiencing growth through new housing. Our challenge as Christians is how we respond to these new communities with welcome and blessing. The New Housing Hub is a network that has been established to inspire, resource and connect pioneers, churches and individual Christians across the country and from all church traditions to respond to this challenge and engage with these new communities.

The New Housing Hub is a network :

To help us be more strategic both within and across our denominations;

To share knowledge, experience, contacts, vision, insight etc;

To connect people geographically to support one another on the ground

To encourage Christians and Churches to be a prophetic voice of welcome rather than protest and to advocate for the 'not yet' residents of planned new housing areas.

To be a strategic voice to developers, councils, housing associations, the government

We have this vision that if we all kept in touch with each other across denominations, networks etc we could be really strategic; rather than overlapping we could each use our resources so that between us all we could cover every new housing area in the country! It's a big vision but we need to start somewhere!
We are grateful to be working in partnership with Churches Together in England, Fresh Expressions and Baptists Together.

What represents your spiritual life: symbols, stories, actions, ways of thinking. An activity and accompanying resource to engage young people in discipleship in the everyday. Get the resource OR run the activity yourself by gathering a big box of trinkets - ask your group to pick 5 that represent where they experience God.

Description

Author: Frontier Youth Trust
Do you want young people to engage with an everyday discipleship and spiritual life? This is a resource to help youth workers take young people on a journey into Christian discipleship.
We asked more than 300 young people and youth workers to make a Spiritual Selfie - a picture of things that represented their spiritual life. These items symbolised a habit, behaviour, practice, routine, or way of thinking that the young person or youth worker used to sustain their faith. The items included practical resources, symbols of ways to meet God, meaningful things to do, and metaphors for ways of thinking. Building on young people's responses to our My Spiritual Selfie project, this resource offers 30+ reflections and activities for youth workers and young people. The set of cards follow the story of Acts over eight themes to explore mission and discipleship, culminating in young people and youth workers building their own spiritual selfie as a resource to sustain them.

Thinking about discipleship from an 'action' perspective. Swap bible study for experiments

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Description

Based on the Beatitudes, The Experiments - is a ten-week resource to engage young people in
contextual and hands-on theological reflection. The course is designed for young people
on the edge of church and society. It is easy to access, and requires no experience or
understanding within the Christian tradition to participate. The resource offers the raw
biblical text in an accessible format, exploring and embedding it through a practical
spirituality.

The Experiments is based on an action learning cycle - starting with a set of experiments
which the group can try throughout the week. At the following session stories and
experiences are shared; with reflective activities to kick-start deeper learning; and a
regular collecting process to capture learning and celebrate participation and achievement.
As a hands-on resource, The Experiments requires little reading or writing for participants.
Instead each participant is given a set of cards with the trigger text and experiments on.
Young people can collect a new card for each experiment to be used as a reminder
throughout the week. At the end of each week they can record their experiences and have
it stamped by the youth worker.

mis.sion.al is designed to help find the origins of your understanding of mission and to introduce you to new definitions and ideas.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The word 'Mission' means something different to everyone. Over the last 100 years the academic study of mission has broadened the definition and there is now a wide ranging breadth of understanding.

mis.sion.al is designed to help find the origins of your understanding of mission and to introduce you to new definitions and ideas.
Who is the game for?
The game is ideal for: TEIs, church leaders, mission organisations or anyone wanting to to explore what it means to be missional in our time.
How to play
Part 1 - The first part of the game is where all the players place the A5 game cards on the timeline on the order they think events happened chronologically. This is followed by the facilitator working with the group to put them in the correct order.

Part 2 - The second part of the game is to explore various aspects of missional thinking. This can be done by reading the information cards that relate to each of the numbered game cards and the accompanying topic cards which are colour coded and have their own sets of discussion questions. There's a variety of ways this section of the game can be organised depending on group size.

Part 3 - The third section is not so much part of the game as a resource to encourage ongoing learning / exploration of the themes within the game. There are a separate set of 'question cards' which can be used as study prompts or in a follow up session with the group that has played the game. The questions are broad in nature and are designed to spark discussion.

Running the Game

At present, the game is only available with James to facilitate it. It best works as a full day with two sessions in the morning, plus a group working session and presentations in the afternoon.

The game section can be played as a half day activity with other material left for future exploration / assignments.

The cost is £350 for the full day (plus travel etc)
