📣 New video! For people with ADHD and ADHD traits, the idea of a Quaker silent worship might sound impossible. However, I show why this is not the case!

📣 New video! People often say that Quakers don’t baptise and don’t do communion. That’s not strictly true. Let me tell you why!

That moment when you’re trying to give a generic overview of Quaker belief - but you’re a Christian Quaker and end up accidentally talking about the Ascension of Jesus in the first few minutes 🤦♂️

It’s often said that Quaker belief is really hard to explain, even amongst Quakers. Watch me try and prove the contrary!

📣 New video! I explain why atheists and non-theists can be Quakers. It is something which confuses people in other denominations but I think fits perfectly with Quaker theology.

📣 New video coming earlier this week as I’m away over the weekend!
Fighting against the rumours that I’m an anti-Foxite, I do a deep dive into the life and times of George Fox! Whilst perhaps not the founder of Quakerism, he certainly did shape it.
Let’s talk about it.

📣 New Video! I’m joined by @petersontoscano.bsky.social, Quaker podcaster and Bible scholar to explore the hard parts of the Bible. In particular, we discuss where the Bible has been used to marginalise people because of their gender or sexuality. We look for examples of transgressing gender.

Jump in on the poll over on YouTube! Looking for a cool early Quaker text to start my Lectio Divina adventure. Choose one of the four and/or send me a suggestion! I do have a secret favourite but I also have a prediction about who will win…

📣 New video! One for @markdruss.bsky.social on why Quakers aren’t perfect. I look at, whilst I’m glad for the great reputation Quakers have in the wider world, it can also hide the fact that Quakers have behaved badly too. I also look at how that reputation can be a burden too.

📣 New Video! I had a fantastic discussion with Matt Rosen about travelling amongst Friends. He talks powerfully about his faith and what he discovered after visiting 50 Quaker Meetings in the UK and US.
He is truly someone to listen to. I haven’t heard many Quakers talk like him.
