Meet our new Reach Lead! Simon Allaby started off as our house team lead (now recruiting his replacement!) and has now transitioned into a marketing role through a long journey of finding this role. Feeling like a 'round peg in a round hole', as Simon says, we are so excited to welcome him into the world of telling Lee Abbey's story!

Listen along while David and Caroline talk about how Simon found this role, his long history of involvement in Lee Abbey and how God has put all the pieces together for us all!

This week David and Caroline sit down with Leah Bucko, a speaker, author, mother, writer and guest speaker here at Lee Abbey to talk about her week Flourish! The three talk about living between grief and joy, after Leah's experience with the loss of her child, and how to continue finding the joy in the Lord and the sorrow life can bring.

This week David and Caroline sat down with Paul Friend, the director of South West Youth Ministries (SWYM)! SWYM has had a long standing partnership with Lee Abbey, bringing in multiple times a year, groups of passionate youth workers in training. The three of them talk about what community in a church setting really means, authenticity (aka allowing the weird) in churches, and how the newest generation of youth workers has inspired a revival of connection.

We are always blessed when SWYM passes by and wanted to share the love online, so listen along and let's keep it weird!
