I have just finished writing my sermon. I have a talk to write for next week, a retreat to plan, and a book to finish... but I have a large coffee and I'm being joyfully distracted by @Andrew_Roycroft's new book!

Still loving this article on Glúnta Resources from Colin Holmes. It’s great to have people ministering in an Irish context helping us think through the realities of Gospel work… [Link in comments]

This is a really helpful thread to help people understand pastoring in small churches or 'small' places. [Forgive the plug, but] I'm currently writing a book about this with @Christian_Focus
Pastoring a church in a village of a 1,000 is very different from pastoring a church in a city. Not necessarily harder. But different. And those differences bring challenges we rarely discuss. Here are 6 of them (and some solutions):

I've been thinking about C.S. Lewis, our addiction to noise, and why silence makes us so uncomfortable. [Link in Comments]

Pray for Ireland!
Our desire is to see healthy, Gospel centred churches in Ireland. Each week we are praying for 3 churches from the Glúnta Map (map.glunta.com) Pray that they faithfully witness to the Gospel, make disciples, and reach their communities for the glory of Jesus!

I've been thinking a lot recently about generationality, or maybe better put, Will Our Churches Outlive Us? [Link in Replies]

Had a blast talking about Ireland and mission with the wonderful @tedstur on the Mission Matters podcast. The podcast is well worth a subscription! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

I've just seen a video recommending preachers use AI to generate sermon outlines Please don't do this AI does not care about Jesus AI does not care about your church AI does not care about truth AI does not care about God's word AI does not care about the fruit of the Spirit

This week we are praying for Castlebridge, in Co. Wexford. The town has a population of 1,850, with no evangelical church currently counted within the town. Pray for local Christians, Gospel witness and the establishment of a healthy church. map.glunta.com

This is such an important issue for us and something as churches we need to think about urgently in how we are training sustainability... Thanks to Milla for writing this!
