It was on Easter Sunday that Jesus rose from death. Jesus had told his disciples before he was arrested that he would be crucified and on the third day he would rise from the dead. Sunday was the third day from Good Friday (Good Friday, Holy Saturday, Easter Day). The second day after Good Friday. […]

During a weekend of speaking and conferencing in London, Dean (CVM Managing Director) and I were heading back on the Northern Line to our hotel, when Dean spotted a woman being forced aggressively against a wall by a man. Our train was in the station with the doors open. It looked like it was going […]
I was present at the birth of both of my daughters. It was of course an amazing experience and far more exhilarating then the gas and air that I sampled earlier in the labours. (Just checking it was safe of course, much like Nehemiah and the King’s wine). When both of them were born, I […]
Nuts, a basically pornographic magazine has seen its circulation fall by 22.5%. Zoo has fallen by 32.1% and FHM by 19.2%. Good riddance. You’re going down fast and I couldn’t be happier. I’m sick and tired of seeing these “things” on the shelves of our newsagents. I can feel the anger rising up every time […]
People love big events. You get a buzz, big sound, big names, big crowd…you leave feeling ready to take on the world. I’ve got nothing against a big event or a mega church. Both are great for a preach! I just don’t think its where the real revolutionary work happens. Revolution power is in the […]

Merry Christmas from Carl Beech I have some great memories of Christmas as I was growing up. I was walking the dog early this morning and I had a vivid memory of playing a king at the infant school nativity. I can remember being dressed up in a blue velvet robe and plastic crown on […]
In truth I’ve actually spent more years as a bible teacher/pastor than as an evangelist. As a pastor I had a deep concern to introduce all types of people, from all walks of life, ages, stages to Jesus and to see them grow in faith and understanding. That concern hasn’t changed.
As you may know, I have two daughters Emily and Annie. When Karen was pregnant we spent months thinking about what we would call them – obviously there were a few names we had to avoid with Beech as a surname! (Please don’t email in with suggestions such as “Sandy”!) Jesus’ parents didn’t have to […]
A few weeks ago the CVM team and I headed off for another nights stay at a hotel somewhere in the UK, ahead of a regional mens conference we were putting on. Pitching up at the hotel my wife (and PA) had booked for us, we found it difficult to find the reception but eventually […]
