We’re still reflecting on Prisons Week and on the God who holds both the offender and the victim in his mercy and grace.
with a love that restores, redeems, and heals.

Such a privilege to hear Steven Gordon share is story on how he came to faith in prison.

This is a testimony of hope and renewal 🌱

Absolutely loved being at Kingdom Calling 2025 with The Bible Society. Thanks for having me guys!
It is such a great honour and privilege to be able to facilitate deep theological learning inside of the prison estate.

Premier Christianity published an article that captures just a glimpse of the beauty of what I get to witness on a regular basis 👇🏻

I’ve written an article on the prison seminary in America that inspired @wtctheology.org.uk to set up a Prison Programme here in the UK.

Enjoy!

Can justice and mercy really coexist?
@sarahcoppin.substack.com (WTC Prison Programme Director) says only if we have a theology of the cross.⁠ In a culture that sees justice & mercy as opposites, the cross tells a different story.⁠

The call to visit prisoners is often neglected, but in doing so we also neglect Jesus himself. @sarahcoppin.substack.com speaks to TheoDisc about her heart for prisoners, and how @wtctheology.org.uk is delivering theology to those in prison.

Had a wonderful day in prison today with Dr Jack Johnson for @wtctheology.org.uk’s Prison Programme.

It was a lovely class with lots of laughs and also a few tender moments.

Thanks so much to all who gave towards the Prison Programme. Off the back of your generosity, we’ve been able to book 5 more taster classes in The Mount Prison this year! 🤩

It seems that young people are turning back to God… we are certainly living in unprecedented times!

Had great fun chatting with Justin Brierley on his podcast, ‘The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God.’

I think he handles the topic of masculinity and identity really well.

Enjoy

It’s a joy and a privilege to be part of this!
People in prison are asking to study theology—and we’re saying yes!

Not surprised to see The Daily Mail shaming young people again 🙄

Had a wonderful morning celebrating #InternationalWomensDay at Holy Apostle’s Church in Cheltenham.

I was invited to speak at their women’s breakfast about my vocation in the prison space.

Thanks for having me guys! Had lots of fun.

I now have a waiting list of 13 prisons that have reached out because their prisoners are requesting to study theology. There is a growing appetite for the big God-questions inside the prison estate… Is the church ready for this?
Yesterday @wtctheology.org.uk ran a taster class inside The Mount Prison, and we had an amazing time. We were expecting 6-8 men, but 25 showed up! We had some fantastic class contributions, and many said after that they appreciated how our faculty gave them space to ask difficult questions.
