Good to reflect & celebrate what I've been doing in the last year, as a faith innovator/creative It's impossible to know the impact, but I'm proud of the progress It's very rewarding, getting to be creative; thankful to have space to play, & support to take bold steps Some stats & stories here:

Been enjoying creating these little videos each week for social media Some context and thoughts about this latest experiment from me medium.com/@elliotcripp...

Terribly convenient, isn't it, for a generation in power which has ruthlessly screwed young people - house prices, tuition fees and grants, environmental breakdown, hostility to their speech and identity - to blame smart phones for their poor mental health.

Drop into our conversations on parenting: My wife & I chat away about our stories. This week How to navigate health & fitness as parents? Staying physically active, motivation, junk food, dietary restrictions, the pressure after having a baby, lack of time with a toddler Do you have any top tips?

Anyone else going to the Methodist Wholehearted conference this weekend?

How can we support busy parents of under 5s engage with faith? A group that is often isolated & missing from our churches We've been experimenting with a parenting podcast An initiative to reach people outside the church and be with them where they are in life. How's it going? Thread ⬇️

We like to share the realities of parenting on our podcast, so this conversion gives an update on some of the tough challenges we've been facing recently An honest catch-up of what's been going on, with our usual dose of silliness, light-hearted chit-chat, & keeping it fun youtu.be/nC1hcYrod1c?...

Apologies I've not been on here much recently - we've been having a hard time with our 3 month old Really bad reflux, possible cow milk allergy, & refusing to feed. Several months of hospital visits & weekends in A&E At least it gives us lots to talk about on our parenting podcast! 😅

A lot of my creative stuff hasn't been reaching many people recently So I've been pondering once again about language... Which of these best reflect where you are? - spiritual but not religious - a faith / belief in a "god" - everyday sacred / soul moments - non church-y Christian
