Jesus sees the crowds and has compassion; acting upon what he has observed and responding to their need. Today, Simon Allen from City Church Bristol suggests practical ways we can do the same.

Simon leads the Bradley Stoke site at City Church, Bristol and oversees social action ministry within the church (a role he previously held at King's Church London where, for many years, he led the Jericho Road Project supporting people out of homelessness).

Jesus models for us how to suffer and lament well. Today, Rosie Hopley encourages us to dignify others’ cries of lament and lead them to the cross, and to the truth that those who mourn shall be comforted.

Rosie is a core team member and leads Jubilee+ Voices. She is founder and former CEO of the Christian charity Beloved, co founder of a social enterprise LoveWell. She enjoys learning about God’s reconciling love and writing. In 2021, she wrote The Reconciled Church Course and is part of the leadership team of The Reconciled Church.

Where do you stand today? At the front, fixed and sorted, or at the back, beating yourself up?”. Words of comfort for the desperate from Sam Ward.

He speaks at many national events about his passion for urban mission and the reality of living it out.

As oaks of righteousness, we are called to sure and steady growth. In today’s podcast episode, Natalie takes stock and asks: How can you grow in mercy this coming year?

Entrepreneurs and business-owners have a huge opportunity to run their businesses for the good of others. Be inspired by how Bramber Bakehouse and Ben Leach Associates are doing this and consider how your idea could become an enterprise that raises up the vulnerable and marginalised.

Ben Leach is the founder of Ben Leach Associates, a not-for-profit accountancy firm with the ambition to bring kingdom values and transformation into a sector dominated by profit-making narratives.

Co-Founder & CEO of Bramber Bakehouse, Lucy wants every woman to receive the support and skills they need to live positive, healthy lives. She's also driven to see organisations embrace a culture of fairness, equity and diversity, creating opportunities for all women, regardless of their background.

Welcome back to the Jubilee Plus Podcast and a happy new year from all of us.

We can be so busy that we forget to pray, but God is wanting to move in ways only He can in the lives of those trapped in poverty and weighed down by injustice. As Jubilee+ launches our prayer resource for churches, Stand in the Gap, this seminar will explore the power of prayer, and its central place in times of economic crisis.

We will hear from Natalie Williams, CEO of Jubilee+ and Emily Lord from 24/7 prayer. 

Do make sure you subscribe so you can find our new episodes as soon as they are released. Our new series of shorter reflections called Tis Mercy All, launches this week!

Whether by opening our homes or investing in affordable accommodation there are many creative ways local churches can help provide safe homes to those in need. In today’s seminar we explore solutions which range from temporary assistance for those recovering from hardship to offering refuge for survivors of slavery, fostering, adoption and providing permanent housing solutions.

Christians are called not only to serve those in poverty but also to fight for justice and against injustice. This means speaking to those in power to effect change, but also proactively moving into positions of influence, and supporting those already there. In this seminar we’ll hear from people who are in high positions in government, charity and policing.
