New Video! So excited to share this one with you. I am joined by the marvellous Rhiannon Grant to discuss her latest book 'Speaking in Quaker Meeting for Worship'! We talk all about VERBAL MINISTRY. What it is, why we do it, when we do it and perhaps when not to do it too!

📣 New Video! Today, I discuss the ways that Quakerism has changed me. From a new understanding of silence and a deeper appreciation of simplicity, I have been surprised of the extent of the impact when I look back over my Quaker journey so far.
How has Quakerism changed you?

I am so happy that my @woodbrooke.bsky.social course is filling up (9 spaces left)! It's going to be a fun time and I say this knowing full well we're going to be talking about the 1640s and 1650s! I AM NOT OVERSELLING THIS! It will be fun! Do join us! www.woodbrooke.org.uk/courses/zeal...
We can do it all at the same time!! 😝
Ten suggestions for how to be more spiritual:
1. Shout!
2. Have integrity
3. Be curious
4. Get over yourself
5. Reduce harm
6. Be non-violent
7. Get your hands dirty
8. Break yokes
9. Nourish bodies
10. Be truly you
(According to Isaiah 58:1-7, one of today’s lectionary texts)
📣 New Video! Today I look at the term 'spiritual but not religious' which I see an awful lot. I explain how I initially resonated with this term, but found that Quakerism was a place where I felt both comfortable yet challenged to something more as well.

Fascinated to hear in the comments of my video on Quaker plain dress from an officer of Clan Barclay that she had seen many heirlooms from Robert Barclay - including a vibrant emerald green waistcoat. No Quaker grey for him clearly!
A great idea for an episode! Shall be listening tomorrow!
📣 New Video! Today, we are looking at Quaker Plain Dress! Why Quakers dressed plainly, why many chose not to, and what dressing plainly might mean today. Asides include a discussion on wigs and the Gay Quakers...

All of these are SWEET.
THE DREAM.
Ha! Thanks! ☺️ Try the Out of the Silence podcast perhaps? Not sure if they’re still going…
New Video! Today we are looking at the strange things Quakers say as if it were nothing, but make absolutely no sense unless you're in the know. Do any other phrases come to mind? Let me know in the comments!

📣 New Video! This week, it's all about the End Times and the Apocalypse! Why were the Early Quakers so obsessed with the Book of Revelation and why are modern Quakers so not? How do modern Quakers understand the end of the world today? All questions answered and more!

New Video! Today, I am looking at loneliness and how this relates to Quakerism.
Being by yourself is completely fine, but there are people who are seeking connection and don't know where to look. Could a Quaker meeting be an answer or not?

What might happen to our faith if we start living from the “We” instead of the “I”?
🎙️ In this month's Quakers Today podcast, Sweet Miche is joined by special guest host Diana Yáñez for an exploration of the concept of belonging, not just to each other, but to all of existence. 🎧
Shall never forgive him for that Quaker article!
📣 New Video! This week, I look at the interesting relationship between Quakerism and alcohol. We examine the Early Quaker hatred of the tavern and drinking to excess, to teetotalism and chocolate, to modern interpretations amongst Quakers today.

Instagram post with Quake It Up logo and text about a video on my Quaker journey.
Thrilled to get a mention on Discovering Quakers over on Instagram! Was wondering why this video was getting a resurgence! We are talking about ways to collaborate in a number of ways so shall see what happens!
"What Quakers offer is.. the spiritual space that allows people to know what their vocation is and that vocation towards good. Secular NGOs can't do that. Media can't do that. Political parties can't do that. We can." - General Secretary Tim Gee speaks on the Quake It Up podcast tinyurl.com/2sz9m5vm
I enjoyed talking with @quakeitup.bsky.social about international Quakerism in its joys and challenges. The full video has just gone live.
New video!! Thrilled to be joined by @timquaker.bsky.social General Secretary of @globalquakers.bsky.social (Friends World Committee for Consultation). We talk all things FWCC, Global Quakerism and the differences and similarities amongst Friends!

George Fox died on this day in 1691 at the age of 66. We know him as a brilliant preacher, networker, and a fan of good hats. We should also remember him for his incredible immune system because I’m honestly not sure how he survived prisons or transatlantic travel!
