Is it ok not be ok this Christmas?
My interview with Fiona Stewart on Premier Christian Radio where I talk about the three stories we need to make sense of: the Christmas Season story (you will be happy if you have this lifestyle…); the Christmas story in the Bible; and the story we tell ourselves about Christmas (I will only be happy if…).
Noticing the good in the midst of all the negativity
Here is a link to my recent interview with Lydia Bennett on Premier Christian Radio on how to notice the good. What if we were taught as children ‘Don’t get your hopes up…’ We stop noticing the good we flatten everything out… what can we do about it? have a listen.

Mindful Formation Conference online 15 June 2024
As part of the launch of my new book Mindful Formation: A Pathway to Spiritual Liberation there will be an online conference on Saturday 15 June exploring mindful formation. In discipleship we talk about spiritual formation as intentional practices in spiritual theology that help us to be more like Christ. Mindful formation is spiritual formation through mindfulness.
Five pioneers of Christian mindfulness will share their stories of how mindfulness has shaped them spiritually: including myself, Rich Johnston of Christian Mindfulness, Prof Amy Oden from the US, Pastor Paul Bane from the US and Bev Walker.
To make the conference as accessible as possible tickets are only £10 each.

The Upwelling of the Holy Spirit
Here is my article via The Baptist Times on the Upwelling of the Holy Spirit.
Upwelling is an oceanic term where deeper, colder water wells up to the surface of the sea. Spiritually it can describe the experience of spending longer periods in contemplative practice, writes Shaun Lambert
Two ancient models can help us cultivate this space in which to experience the upwelling of God’s Holy Spirit
