About Ian Nicholson
Ian is a great friend of Proximity Church. Visiting and encouraging us for years and years. Ian has had a background in European mission and church leadership for over 40 years. As one of the founding leaders of 24-7 Prayer and Guildford Boiler Room (now Emmaus Road Church), Ian is part of 24-7’s International leadership. He is also a Chaplain, and was a Director, of Woking Football Club.
In the latest episode of our podcast, we delve into the profound concept of 'thin places' and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit within our communities and personal lives. As we emerge from the shadow of the pandemic, the importance of revisiting foundational spiritual practices becomes ever more apparent. Last year, the Rule of Life series inspired many, but as we step into 2023, the focus shifts towards a deeper understanding and stewardship of the Holy Spirit.
Our guest, Ian, brings a wealth of experience and insight, having walked alongside many communities in their spiritual journeys. He shares the significance of 'thin places'—those rare, sacred spaces where the divine feels incredibly close. These aren't just physical locations but can be moments in time or states of being where we feel a profound connection to the divine. Ian encourages us to recognise and cultivate these moments, both individually and as a community.
The episode also highlights the importance of embracing our unique roles within the spiritual community. Just as Bezalel was anointed with special skills to build the tabernacle, each of us possesses unique gifts and talents that, when empowered by the Holy Spirit, can contribute significantly to our community's spiritual health and growth. Ian's stories of individuals and communities overcoming challenges through faith are both inspiring and motivating.
Listeners are invited to reflect on their own experiences of 'thin places' and consider how they can further engage with the Holy Spirit in their daily lives. Ian's message is clear: we are all ministers in our own right, and our presence in our communities makes a significant difference.
This episode is a call to action for all of us to deepen our spiritual practices and embrace the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. Whether you're seeking personal growth or looking to contribute more meaningfully to your community, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement. Don't miss it—tune in now to be inspired and empowered on your spiritual journey.
