I count it a huge honour and privilege to be able to share God’s Word with people in quite a few locations and I have had a few opportunities with my precious church family at @citychurchcdf recently and I love it! Here’s three photos of recent preaches including Christmas Day.
Loving journeying through lent with this book by local @LlandaffDio vicar, @RevMarkBroadway. It’s a really helpful and eye-opening insight into the Old Testament book of “Wilderness” (or Numbers to most of us). I have to admit that this place feels a long way from wilderness!
For @citychurchcdf family (and beyond), this is probably one of the most important and powerful sermons I have experienced in many years from my friend @SianWynRees1 - listen and let yourself be transformed by God. (Sermon starts at approx 57 mins in) youtube.com/live/Bh-ydg_Zr…
This Sunday, at 9am, 11am & 5pm, we kick off our new series for February - His Presence - which will encourage you to cultivate a deeper awareness of God’s presence in your life 🫂👣👂🏾🥲
Just seen @JCSTheMusical at @theCentre in Cardiff. Incredible production - staging, lighting, choreography, band and the acting/singing was brilliant. Loved it! #JCSUKTour
In worship we are not brought into God’s presence. Rather, we are brought into a greater awareness of God's presence.
Whilst our wider family couldn’t join us today, it was still a wonderful Christmas Day with some great friends from @citychurchcdf . Great getting to know Phineas, Joan, Suma and Anisha! #TogetherAtChristmas
Made it to 100 days of learning Welsh! Dw i’n caru dysgu Cymraeg. (Although for those who are also doing Duolingo Welsh, I am getting very concerned about Owen’s parsnip addiction. He’s having to buy them in Antarctica and has started eating them privately! If you know, you know)
⚠ It's a common misconception that a completed DBS check is all that's needed to recruit a worker safely. ℹ DBS checks form just part of the overall safer recruitment process, crucial to prevent unsuitable or dangerous individuals gaining access to children and young people.
Great piece @PastorDunc - I’m with you 100%. I would say it isn’t just a personal vs corporate split. Such as those times in gatherings when the presence of God rests on people and they “do business” with God in a very contemplative way. It does happen! Great blog, thank you.

So proud of my friend @SianWynRees1 , absolutely smashing it on the topic of singleness in @citychurchcdf ’s series on relationships, called Threads. The best sermon on this topic I have ever heard. And all whilst struggling with a rough cold! Well done.
Such a wonderful first session of Vision Planning with the wonderful people of Dowlais Elim Family Church this morning. Days like this, I love what I do!

"Kate Forbes can’t lead the party, let alone the country, because she’s a Christian. No, that’s not fair. It’s because she’s the wrong kind of Christian, the kind that believes… ooh, wrong, archaic, bad things." theosthinktank.co.uk/comment/2024/0…
Can we not just say, I'm upset about this, I wish it had been different and I'll crack on making it so?
Is there some psychological study that was done that politicians have read that says, "you will win more votes if you act really cheery and borderline unhinged when faced with massive losses." Does it convince voters in the future if you insist the sky is purple. It's weird.
Is that a plausible counterfactual for defence spending absent this announcement? Not really. ENDS
...2) The assumption of flat cash spending for 6 years is dubious since that would have meant *falling* defence spending as a share of UK GDP, even taking it below 2%, which would have broken the 2023 pledge from all Nato members to spend that % at a minimum...8/9
...and a pretty tiresome political trick to to add spending increases up over multiple years, rather than state the cash increase in a given year, no doubt to make them sound bigger/more generous...7/9
(Actually it adds to £73bn by my calculations, but perhaps they've rounded it up to the nearest £5bn). But there are two problems with this: 1) It's a very confusing way to present figures when you have to reverse engineer them in this way...6/9
...So what's going on? Turns out HMT have assumed defence spending would have remained flat in cash terms at £64.6bn for six years - and added up the difference between that and the new implied path *over six years* to say they're going to spend an extra £75bn on defence...5/9
...And gradually raising that £64.6bn to 2.5% of GDP takes it to £87.1bn in 2030-31. Though note that the difference between £87.1 and £64.6bn is £22.5bn, *not* £75bn...4/9
...Second thing to note is HMT using a different figure for defence spending - it's "Nato-qualifying defence spending" which includes items such as the Single Intelligence Account & military pensions etc This boosts the 2024-25 figure to £64.6bn... 3/9 assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6627c23a…
...First thing to note is that figure sounds odd given the March Budget documents suggest total defence spending in 2024-25 will £51.7bn So would defence spending more than *double*?...2/9 assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/65e8578e…
The Treasury is claiming that hitting the target of raising UK defence spending to 2.5% of GDP in 2030 amounts to a "£75 billion increase". How do they get to this £75bn number? 🤨 Thread...🧵1/9 x.com/hmtreasury/sta…
NEWS: UK set to increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2030 - an increase of £75 billion. Chief Secretary to the Treasury Laura Trott visited Wellington Barracks in Westminster today to explain what this means.
