Hello. I’m Tom – Heather’s boyfriend: we’ve been locked in my parent’s house together for two months now, having only known each other for nine months when that happened (yes, really!). Heather told me very early on about the I Am Project; I read her book, which she sent me in the post before...
For a long time, when I pictured God in my head, I thought of Morgan Freeman in Bruce Almighty – an elderly guy, sat on a cloud, looking down on me and judging the way that I do things. The God in my head sees everything, but that did not feel good: it felt...
Every now and then, I get a verse stuck in my head: it’ll come up time and time again in a certain season – in sermons that I listen to, in conversations that I have with friends, in the videos that I have on as background noise. Those words will become my heartbeat; the...

One of my favourite parts of the Christmas period this year, was a morning that I spent lazing on a friends’ sofa, with a blanket and a cup of tea and my Bible, while the rest of the house still slept. It was that odd time between Christmas and New Year, when we were...
I will admit that I know next to nothing about surfing, and most of my knowledge comes from bad Australian soaps that I watched as a child – but I’m pretty sure that the process goes something like this: you paddle until your arms hurt, and you’re in deep enough water that you will...
