Neil, Fiona and Jen delve into the Acts of the Apostles where the strapline 'Go! Go! Go!' seems fitting.
As we move beyond Pentecost and into the early days of church growth there's an account of a healing that causes a great commotion. Meanwhile, Glover's Others is about Eli and What's The Gen? takes us to some research into intergenerational church.
Oh, and there's no correspondence, but we're confident you'll catch up in due course!

Neil and Fiona are reunited with Jen Robertson for a new season of The Outspoken Bible. This term we're delving into the Acts of the Apostles where the strapline 'Go! Go! Go!' seems fitting.
In episode 1 there's some catching up to be done and some correspondence to be read before Neil reveals another of his Glover's Others. Discussion then turns to Acts 1. To draw things to a close there's a new segment - What's The Gen? - where Jen opens up some recent thinking on Bible engagement with teenagers. All that and plenty of rabbit-hole to be explored!
