“Hi Nick, I’m a pretty new Christian and fell right into cessationist theology. This video is making me question everything but I don’t know where to begin. I’m wondering what denomination are you in? I’m feeling called to find a new Church…”
A new Christian asked me a very good question on my last video whilst expressing their state of being overwhelmed at the apostate chaos of the Church. These are some of my prayerful thoughts in response.
PodVlog Episode #3, discussing Nicky Gumbel’s #AlphaCourse, is from the world-famous Dunnottar Castle followed by a detour in from the wind to a coffee shop, (we resisted the delicious cakes on offer).
The conversation today follows on from Nick’s more in-depth podcast a few days ago in which the sobering reality of Billy Graham and John Stott’s Lausanne “covenant” was exposed for what it is.

One of the chapters of Dr. ES Williams’ book featured in that conversation covers Nicky Gumbel’s ecumenical Alpha Course. 😭
What would King David’s response be to the so-called, “New Apostolic Reformation”? (10 min vlog during sunset earlier this evening following a friend’s email) 👍
In their podcast, “Into the Pray,” Mairi and Nick discuss the disconnect between church leaders’ sound doctrine and the radical change needed, urging support for their work. They also share Mairi’s testimony and encourage listeners to share the episode. Additionally, Nick addresses the “1% Church” and promotes their flagship content. Consider supporting their work.
I have been a Christian for 35 years and this is a personal testimony covering the last 12 of them. What does it actually mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ? I will let the video explain itself.
Last night the Holy Spirit spoke to me in a dream. I’m sharing the dream publicly because it relates directly to the video below and the lives of tens of thousands of people. I have sought to simply convey the specifics of what I saw and understood in the dream rather than trying in any way to embellish or dramatise its content, nor to dismiss details that to my mind may have seemed incidental. Please can I discourage speculation but rather plead for wholehearted turning from those involved and, for us all, the heeding of the principle of “clearing” being more urgent now than ever before, (1 Peter 4:17).
I had a chance this week to record on the piano that I learnt to play on, freshly tuned! I hope you are blessed by this new acoustic version of 2021 song of worship, Calling YESHUA. Full content below. Maranatha!
Based in the United Kingdom, “Premier Christianity” are the largest “Christian” media organisation in Europe. This week I happened to see a job advert on their website entitled, “Pastoral minister, part-time, LGBT inclusive church”. Therefore, I emailed Premier to enquire as to what was going on. The email that I received back from their Editorial Director, Sam Hailes, was absolutely sickening. 🤢
Three years ago a church pastor in England contacted me having read Body Zero because he recognised that he needed to make some serious changes in his church reflecting the most neglected part of the gospel — namely that CHRIST IS COMING (Revelation 19:7).
Very sadly, Paul suddenly died before he had more fully made the changes he had hoped to.
Paul ended up hiring me to make a film as part of a raft of other resources for their church website. This is that film.
“We see from history how the Lord again and again has had to smite with smashing blows things which in themselves were good, in order to save His people unto Himself personally.” — T.A-Sparks
It’s a tender picture: a fine Christian lady in her ninth decade struggling to grasp the need of God to “smite” His Bride. But I hope this video helps address what is now more than a 3-year chasm in the Body of Christ.
