Choose Life Deuteronomy 30:11-20
It doesn’t matter whether you had toast or cereal for breakfast, but it does matter whether you live your life out of fear or faith, whether you choose clarity or trust, cynicism or action, grumbling or gratitude, apathy or urgency. Yes, some choices really do matter. Choose life!
Simon Guillebaud, MBE, spent two decades living in war-torn Central Africa, and speaks out of that context with raw urgency and passion for the last, the lost and the least. He’s the Founder of Great Lakes Outreach, host of the popular ‘Inspired’ podcast, author of the award-winning book Choose Life, and travels widely stirring up the Church for radical discipleship. His wife Lizzie and he live in Bath with their three teenage children.
Full English Breakfast, toast, and tea/coffee.

Phil Knox: The Best of Friends
THIS EVENT HAS TAKEN PLACE!

1 in 3 men say they have no close friends. 40% of young adults say they always or often feel lonely. We are in a loneliness epidemic. And yet this is not how we were created to be. Friendship is one of God’s greatest gifts to us, we are relationally wired, crafted for connection and studies have consistently shown that you can live very unhealthily and yet if you have friends, you will live longer than someone who keeps themselves in shape but is socially isolated. It really is better to eat kebabs with friends than salad on your own.
Phil Knox believes Jesus is the answer, in more ways than one. The secret of eternal life is not what you know, but who you know. Wherever we are at in the state of our friendships, we can all strengthen our relational muscles and play a part in helping others grow their relational connections. Discover what the Bible has to teach us about this vital subject matter and learn from The Best of Friends about how we can be the best of friends. His book on the subject, The Best of Friends, was published in February 2023.
Phil Knox is an evangelist and missiologist at the Evangelical Alliance. He is passionate about making Jesus known and the power of friendship. He loves learning and has degrees in law and mission and evangelism. Phil is married to Dani and they have two sons, Caleb and Jos. He is an avid runner, enthusiastic waterskier and once broke the world record for the longest five-a-side football match. He is also an award winning performance poet and author of Story Bearer and The Best of Friends.
Stay on if you can for prayer, to chat or relax in the Hotel/grounds.
