Are we living in a ‘new season’ in the UK?

Much has happened over the past year to expand imagination, expectations and hope around what the Lord may be doing in the UK at this moment.

For more than 25 years I have travelled the length and breadth of the nation preaching the gospel and encouraging Christians and churches to reach out to those around them. For much of that time, it’s often felt like swimming against the cultural tide. But in 2025, something changed.

For the first time, it felt as though the wind was at my back rather than in my face as I shared the gospel. Stories of people coming to faith – both miraculous and ordinary – increased significantly. Additionally there was a growing body of encouraging research and an increasing number of public figures openly professing faith in Jesus. From social media to individual conversations over coffee, there is a tangible sense that we are living in a new season in the UK. To borrow an image from Narnia, it feels as though winter is over, spring has arrived, and we are praying this season will mature into summer.
