As a Christian GP, whilst I can see healthy applications for AI interactions, I am concerned about the risk of further isolation from real people and especially communication with our Lord. Yet another and more seductive idol.

Sadly, I am heading down the cynical route. I wish I’d prayed back in the 1980s as my late mum kept telling me to do. The pain of my present situation is the major fight in my yearning to pray. The silence is truly deafening and I need answers and no more internal conflict with my equally internal tears. I am a very tired man.

Have you ever thought of considering praying through a lament? It sounds like there’s some pain that needs to be processed. What might it look like to process that with the Lord?

Paul, I recognise in a very personal way where you’re at and feel deeply for your pain. Sometimes the pit we find ourselves in feels too deep to climb out of, sometimes for really long seasons; often, we don’t even have the spiritual, emotional or intelectual energy to try. Yet we feel guilty or afraid that we’re failing. Resentment seeps in partnering with a sense of hopelessness leading to more apathy… Seeing apparently no change, no relief, unbelief and inner turmoil become our brutal reality. Vicious cycle. Paul, remember that our Heavenly Father formed you very deliberately - not randomly. He named you before your mother did. He invested His deepest love in you, undersigned in His own blood. Who else would do that for us? You are that valuable. To Him. Remember also that there are very real malevolent spiritual powers ruling the air, that never relent from trying to undermine and influence your emotions, thoughts, actions, beliefs, choices. Please don’t give up on yourself. Or on Jesus. He is your answer. He - not all the blah-blah Christianese- is your saving grace, your peace, your home, your truth. He IS ALWAYS THERE, loving you and seeing you, even if you can’t see or sense Him. It’s the honest truth! Even a single syllable prayer is a prayer. Even a single word or sound can be worship. Can I encourage you to vocalise these, whenever, however, despite how you feel. Vocalise Scriptures, randomly, whenever you can. This is truth and truth dispels lies, by default. Don’t overthink. Just trust Him; He will take the tiniest speck of faith if you give it to Him, whichever way, and will use it to lift you up. Trust Him in expectation of His goodness and love for you (God’s words, not mine). The thing is to keep trusting Him, be honest about where you’re at, be prepared to listen and give Him open permission to speak. This guy , (Pete Greig) is very well balanced and I found this particular talk so helpful. Can I recommend online viewing pastor Allan Jackson, James kawalya (recommend to start with his testimony… heavy stuff), Dave Bryan (again, his testimony is a good place to start), John Ramirez (ditto), Lisa Harper, Phillip Yancey (author), Bill Johnson (his books rather than the mega church stuff), Josh McDowell (I think I’m getting spellings wrong now!) John Bevere (especially his books “The Bait of Satan”, “Killing Kryptonite” and “Good or God”)… Sorry, there are so many I could recommend. But above all, get the Scriptures into your head and heart - it’s your firewall and your sustenance as well as your weapon. I pray you will be lifted out of the ashes of your frustration and pain to sing in absolute awe, joy, praise and fruitfulness of your life redeemed in Jesus. Warmest wishes.

Christianity is a patriarchy so I wish patriarchies weren’t talked down in this video so much. It seems like there are three feminists in this video and not three Christians because you can’t be both.

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO ❤ I've always loved stand up comedy, but it's turned quite disturbing. The vulgarity that's being thought of as funny has driven me away from comedians. I've wondered for a while where did good, "clean" educational humor go? VEGE-TALES and a few comedians are worth even listening to let alone laughing with. I know for a fact that there's a lot of funny situations in the scriptures, consider Matthew 28, guards see an angel and pass out, two of Jesus girl followers, worried about an earthquake collapsing the tomb, find the guards passed out and an angel sitting on the boulder the guards were supposed to be guarding, telling them "I know why you're here but HE AIN'T HERE, HE'S HEADED TO MEET THE DESCIPLES"! Considering "human nature", this REALLY is one of GODS greatest "GOTCHA"s😁😇🙏🏻♥️🇱🇷

I've been listening to alot of Tim Holland lately. Others also with Justin in them. But this was likely the best I've heard so far. Perhaps this is due to the exposure of what I've heard up to this point -- repetition being the best teacher, and so forth -- and finally allowing me to hear the depth of what is actually being said. ...or perhaps because this video was just that good. Either way, this was brilliant.

'I don't understand why anyone would be interested in a Christianity that wasn't taking the supernatural seriously' says Tom. Well he's obviously not been paying attention to the likes of Jordan Peterson or others that come from a Jungian angle. The reason I became interested in Christianity is that even if its a myth it's the most meaningful myth ever created, at least from a western perspective. Christ and his mother are archetypal figures that show that the highest human potential is to 'conjoin heaven and earth', in other words we can die to our lower self and can be reborn in a higher consciousness of universal love, THAT is what matters, not literally believing in miracles, because the real miracle is life itself and our potential to live it more fully 'in Christ Jesus'

My guess why young men have been christianily activated in Finland is increased immigration. Finland have had this culture of religious super-privacy where you are not to speak about your (christian) beliefs and it has been quite a taboo. Even though most people used to be members of (lutheran) church through infant baptism, actual faith was not so common (even among the clergy) and was viewed as embarrassing among most laypeople. Then people started also leaving the church if they didn't find value there. Also teaching of christian beliefs became thinner and thinner at schools etc so there are now young people who don't have such an inherited (superficial) understanding of christianity that can almost act as a vaccination against it in some cases. Social media is also providing a broader perspective of what christianity actually can be. Then there is an influx of different cultures to the country and especially young people who learn the language and meet at schools and don't see religion as a taboo. They have greatly infuenced the discussion culture. I think girls lean more to the left and are more interested in other topics and that's why by now this phonomenon is seen more strongly among boys/men. Among them there has been made room for open discussion about religion for the first time in a really long time.

If it means we step back or move away from rampant wokeism in society then that might not be a bad thing. My fear is as you say, ‘cultural Christian’s’ will do more harm to Christianity by watering it down or worse, turning Christianity woke 😳

Mind you, Justin in an another podcast, can't recall with which team, the interviewer spoke with saying that the "contact" with Christ, is selective, you can't get the Christian "touch" just simply by books, intellectually, or by going to a church praying. As we always say : God calls you, even not religious persons. We respond (or we not notice and don't answer), in a different ways. Maybe for Tom was a calling. There's no problem that we will wrestle with doubts, beliefs up and down, but we gona end up there, with a relationship with God, our life will be different. You people can read a guy : Tomás Halik

Thank you to John for sharing this. I always find it wonderful to hear the testimony of Christians whose perspective on governing brings them to different conclusions to mine. The wonderful challenge of our faith is just how rich and wonderful the variety is in our family of faith and we'll spend eternity worshipping alongside people we didn't expect to have common ground with. That said I really find it quite difficult to reconcile several things that John is saying about his faith and his politics. I appreciate that being interviewed publicly about that dynamic at the height of an election is an impossible situation when it comes to defending the performance of his party over these 14 years. He's obviously got to stick to the party messaging and not add to the lament over the health of the nation. But as I listened I was furrowing my brow about many things and three things in particular. The prompt to comment in the first place was when we got onto Rwanda. It's really difficult to have John make an appeal to discussing the nuance with honesty while completely ignoring the fact that his government has removed just about every legal route for claiming asylum outside the UK. He says we need to be honest about the alternatives but it's unfortunate, disappointing even, that he isn't doing that here and falls into support of a policy discourse that emphasises the criminality of gangs ahead of the humanity of those looking to this country as a place to build a safer life. Connected to that it's hard to hear him position all the blame for current challenge on the period of 2020-2023 and at the door of the pandemic and Ukraine. Those two things are huge shocks for any government to contend with but I don't think it's an honest reflection of the weakness which earlier discussions have created. The underlying reality is that much of the decline, and failure, in the UK state owes its condition to decisions made prior 2016 (austerity) and then the implications of the chaotic internal in-fighting within the Conservative party that resulted from the 2016 referendum and the impossible task of finding any workable solution to the fantasy of the Brexit promises. Since 2015 almost every ministerial brief has been held multiple times and only for a matter of months as the party has lurched from leadership crisis to leadership crisis. 14 years of continuous governing should have offered an opportunity to really commit to and deliver on a set of really ideologically consistent and interconnected policy ambitions but the slate of policy put on the table today bears little resemblance to that advocated for in manifesto after manifesto and right now of course we're 3 leaders deep compared to the last time we were given the opportunity to express our democratic mandate. He expresses disappointment about our Amazon culture but he's been part of a party that has placed soundbite over substance for over a decade in office - chopping and changing of policy or stubborn adherence to impossible and divisive rhetoric is not a conducive environment to good governance. Finally I understand his loyalty to his friend and colleague but it is unfortunate to have him refer to Sunak as a man of complete integrity given the demonstrable distorting of the truth that's been taking place in pursuit of campaigning this week. The deficit we have in trust towards government and politicians is not going to be healed until people and parties conduct themselves in a way that truly reflects complete integrity. John is in an impossible position to answer that question during an election but as followers of Jesus our first responsibility is to Him and not to our party or our position. I'll have to see if the other interviews provoke quite as much personal angst as this one did!
