Hi, I’m Ben Larcombe

Are our churches counter-cultural? Is that even something we should aspire to be? And, if so, how do we know if we’re doing it right?

These are some of the questions I’ve been pondering over the past few months and I think I’m just about ready to articulate my thoughts.

Here we are. You’ve made it (and so have I) to the final part of my evangelism series. This is the good stuff.

Over the past 6,790 words (but who’s counting), we’ve looked at free lunch evangelism, funnel evangelism, and friendship evangelism. Today, we’re thinking about what faithful evangelism looks like in the 21st century. And it’s gonna be a long one!

The idea of friendship evangelism has become super popular over the last couple of decades. Perhaps because it’s the polar opposite of the street preacher, standing on a corner, shouting into a megaphone. Friendship evangelism sounds personal and loving.

In this article, I’ll be writing about; what friendship evangelism actually is, my failed attempts at it, and why it might be time for a rethink.

Yesterday I wrote about, what I’m calling, free lunch evangelism. Today, I move on to funnel evangelism – another term I’ve just made up!

This is part two of a four-part series looking at evangelism in the 21st century. I’ll be covering…

They say there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Well, I used to have a couple of wearable sandwich boards that begged to differ!

In this article, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on “free lunch evangelism”; what it is, why we naturally want to do it, and why it might be time for a rethink.

Fixupboy has featured in our Alternative Rap UK Spotify playlist for the last four or five months now; first with ‘She Said’ and now with ‘Burn’.

But who is Fixupboy? We decided it was time to find out by asking him ten quick-fire questions…

Pink gin has been everywhere for the past 18 months and there are now loads of pink gins to choose from. But which is the best pink gin?

My BBC Weather app is telling me it’s going to be 37°C tomorrow in Tunbridge Wells! If that’s true, it’s time to refill those ice trays, get the tonic water in the fridge, and buy yourself a new bottle of pink gin.

If you’re looking for WP Engine alternatives, this is the post for you. After a few weeks of research, I think I’ve found the best option for professional bloggers – like me!

I should start by saying, I’ve been using WP Engine’s managed hosting since 2015. And it’s great. My WordPress site has been consistently fast and live. But recently it’s been getting more and more expensive.

Hendrick’s Gin is one of the most popular flavoured gins on the market. It gets its distinctive taste from the infusion of cucumber and rose to the gin after distillation.

But let’s be honest… Hendrick’s Gin is a bit middle-of-the-road. It’s nice, but you don’t hear anyone saying “wow” after drinking it. And at £28 it’s neither great value nor particularly exciting.
