Our Assistant Church Leader Ian Spence continues our ‘What’s On Your Mind?’ series with a title of ‘Speaking About God’. Ian explores how the language we use to describe God can impact what we believe both about God and about ourselves.

Jo Dolby shares what’s on her mind as we kick off a brand new speaking series! Jo will be talking about the concept of ‘reimagining’, drawing on biblical concepts and examples to inspire us as we think about how to reimagine our plans, beliefs and expectations when things in life perhaps don’t go as we’d hoped or expected.

We welcomed a selection of our guest speakers from the Wholehearted series back to the sofa to expand on how we can apply what we've learned through this series to our everyday lives, as well as answer any questions which have arisen as the series has progressed.

Join Jess Barber, psychotherapist and member of Oasis Church Bath, as she considers the importance of reimagining as part of the recovery process.

What does recovery look like, and where does it start? Join Jess Barber, psychotherapist and member of Oasis Church Bath, as she explores how we begin to recognise, reconsider, and move towards recovery.

Guest speaker Jo Hargreaves continues our ‘Wholehearted’ series. Jo is a psychotherapist, writer, speaker and trauma informed church leader, passionate about integrating theology and therapy. Jo will be drawing on her knowledge and experience to encourage us to live embodied, integrated lives where we embrace every part of ourselves rather than cut off or deny who we are, or where we’ve come from.

The Jewish concept of ‘shalom’ is often defined as peace, but it means so much more than that! Nathan Jones from Oasis Waterloo dives deep into this amazing Jewish concept, drawing out meaning that builds on and adds to previous weeks of our Wholehearted speaking series.

There are many different perspectives on healing within the Christian faith. As progressive Christians, how should we understand it? Should we expect miraculous healings, or does healing happen in other ways now? Does it happen at all? Rob Trickey explores some of these questions as we continue our ‘Wholehearted’ speaking series.

Traditionally, salvation has been understood in some faith settings as a kind of ticket to heaven, praying a prayer or following a certain set of behaviours so you are ‘saved’ from this world into another when you die. But what if we’ve misunderstood this word? Jo Dolby explores its original meaning, explaining how a deeper understanding and application of it helps us link salvation much more to the lives we live now.

Joining us on the sofa this month is one of our longest standing church members, Lyndon Hughes. Lyndon shares some amazing stories of faith, and his reflections on how the church has changed over the years.
