When worship pastor, Rich Dicas, visited Asbury University last year, what he experienced of God changed him – and his church – profoundly. Now, they’ve written a song to help all of us do the same
When I went to Asbury University, I was desperate to experience what God was doing. I was overwhelmed by the sight of so many young people, desperate to get right with God, going forward in confession, repenting from sin and being delivered from things they had been struggling with.
I was overwhelmed by the joy on their faces, seeing the Spirit himself setting them free. At the same time, there wasn’t anything particularly spectacular about the outpouring. It was in a very ordinary place; we were singing the same songs we sing at home. And there was a beautiful order to it as well.

A University of Oklahoma student has made international headlines after she wrote a Psychology essay which said it was “demonic” to argue there are more than two genders. Samantha Fulnecky’s work was deemed “offensive” by her instructor who failed her, and said the student should have cited “empirical evidence” rather than only quoting scripture. Fulnecky pushed back by claiming her religious freedom was under threat. The University has since stated the assignment will not be factored into her final grade following mass public backlash. Here, Christian and academic Krish Kandiah pens an open letter to Fulnecky, and urges her to remember four key principles when discussing the Christian faith in public

The Strictly star’s decision to discuss his decades-long struggle with pornography raises searching questions for the Church, says Tim Parks. When three quarters of Christian men and almost half of Christian women say they watch it, what does this means for discipleship, honesty and formation?
