As tech wrenches us from real life, we are not seeing each other. The Greek word 'idea' means to see. It is as if we have lost the idea of what it means to be human; social, communal, relational. The same word, to see, in Old English is 'seon' which has connotations of understanding. Let's start seeing each other again, listening, respecting, and understanding each other and ourselves. After all, we are people through other people.

Anger, lust, jealousy, pride, cravings, addiction, we usually talk about them like they’re glitches to delete. I’m taking a different angle today, sparked by reading Orthodox bishop and theologian Kallistos Ware in The I

A message recorded while driving, sparked by a phrase on the back of a lorry: “Making the world a better home”. It sounds right, but it also raises a harder question. What if the world is not quite “home” in the way we m
Fighting against your body can feel like the normal version of spirituality. But what if that posture is backwards? I’m unpacking a line from the Orthodox theologian Father Alexander Schmemann that hit me hard: we’re mea

Certainty feels safe, but it often shuts our ears and hardens our hearts. We open up about a different way to live: faith as trust, not as a denial of doubt. From a striking AA moment of surrender to memories of growing
What if the way we talk about love is quietly shaping us into consumers rather than companions? I take a hard look at the easy phrase “love is love” and test it with two simple images: murky “water is water” logic and a

Anxiety loves to keep us time-travelling—looping old regrets and forecasting worst-case futures—until the present feels thin and brittle. We take a quiet, focused walk through a three-part path that restores peace: repen
A gentle greeting turns into a clear call: men and women are not rival camps, and strength is not the enemy. We share three hard-won lessons from lived experience and faith, starting with a simple truth that changes ever
Something is shifting. The old script—more science equals less God—no longer fits the moment, and faith is making a comeback. With Andy Bannister, we explore how the edges of AI and physics are reopening big questions ab
