Today we welcome Hannah Chittick. Emerging from Lockdown: Emotional Health and Well-being I felt stirred to write about our emotional health as we come out of lockdown.

Children’s thoughts on lockdown
Children’s thoughts on lockdown I’ve seen quite a bit in the media about how adults have been coping since 23rd March.

Going Deeper
Going Deeper Life is quite different at the moment for all of us. Many of us have needed to shelter at home with minimal social contact apart from Zoom meetings.

Clothed with Dignity

Exploring Jubilee
Exploring Jubilee Family is an important part of the culture of Jubilee. It’s one of our five values which we aim to live out together.

Compassion
Compassion God is a God of compassion. One of His names is Rakhum which is sometimes translated as Merciful God but can also be translated as Compassionate God. In Deuteronomy 4:31 (NASB) we are told ‘For the LORD your God is a compassionate God; He will not fail you nor destroy you nor forget the […]
Psalm 42 – When your soul is downcast
Psalm 42 – When your soul is downcast A longing for the presence of God is a distinctive mark of His people. There is nothing better than the experience of being with God. The riches of earth cannot compare to it. The glories of nature can only point to it. The intimacy of fellow humans […]
