Finally got my hands on my new book – "To Hell's Mouth and Back: Pilgrimage, Suffering and Hope". It will be published later this month. #newbook #pilgrimage #suffering #hope #author

Dwi’n falch iawn fod fersiwn Gymraeg o’n llyfr i’n cael ei gyhoeddi ochr yn ochr â’r Saesneg. Bydd y lansiad ar yr un pryd â’r fersiwn Saesneg – 7yh, nos Wener 7 Tachwedd yn Eglwys Crist, Parc y Rhath. Croeso cynnes i bawb!

Not yet held a copy of my new book, but I’ve just been sent a photo of a review copy by the CEO of GoHealth, who is reading it ready for a podcast I am recording with her soon. Lovely to see an early copy of the book and very much looking forward to being on the podcast 😊

Wonderful to be back at the Llandaff Diocesan Conference yesterday, giving the keynote talk on Holy Teamwork, alongside @mandyebayton We had a warm welcome at a joyous and uplifting event 😊

A date for the diary. The launch of my new book “To Hell’s Mouth and Back” will be at Christ Church, Roath Park on Friday 7 November at 7pm. I’d love to see you there - look forward to it! 😊

An eco and historical tour of our local cemetery this morning, organised by our church St Michael’s and All Angels. Cathays cemetery is the largest in Wales and the third largest in the UK.

To Hell's Mouth and Back: Pilgrimage, suffering and hope After a gruelling 140-mile pilgrimage walking across the rugged terrain of North Wales, Trystan Owain Hughes finds himself facing another, very different pilgrimage as he recovers from a serious injur...

Looking forward to this being published in October. It includes questions for reflection and a study guide, so it can be used as an Advent or Lent book. More news coming soon about endorsements, the launch, and a possible Welsh-language version.

Cover reveal! To be published by BRF in October. On the cover I look out to Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island) after my 140-mile walk. It explores how suffering can be redeemed, and examines how common experiences of pilgrimage are echoed in the challenges and joys of our life journeys.

Great few days at the Governing Body of the Church in Wales. Good to be back home in sunny North Wales - and great to be invited to speak on both clergy well-being and the discernment process & widening access to ministry.

Looking forward to our Messy Easter this Friday. Always great fun. All welcome!

Just submitted my next book ‘To Hell’s Mouth and Back: Pilgrimage, Suffering, and Hope’. My most personal and reflective yet. Excited for its BRF release in October! Includes a study guide for personal or group use, perfect for Advent or Lent. Thanks for all your support 😊

Hyfryd cyfrannu at y llyfr ‘Hoff Adnodau’r Cymry’. Doeddwn i ddim yn gallu fynd i'r lansiad ond mae fy llun ar y sgrin 😊 Delighted to have contributed to the book ‘The Favourite Bible Verses of the Welsh’. I couldn’t make the launch, but my photo is on the screen at the back 😊

What is St David’s Day? A short video shared on my TikTok channel for those outside of Wales, exploring the importance of our national festival. Happy St David’s Day to you all! Dydd Gwyl Dewi hapus pawb! #Wales #stdavidsday #stdavid #Cymru #dyddgwyldewi

A privilege to be part of setting up an important new programme of pastoral supervision, to ensure the well-being of our hardworking clergy. A huge thank you to our trainee pastoral supervisors, to Wesley House, Cambridge for the training, and to St Luke’s for its funding & support. Diolch o galon!

Always good to catch up with someone who has a heart for ministry and mission… great to hear how Rhys is thriving in St Asaph Diocese before he takes another step on his @churchinwales.bsky.social discernment journey. Gwych, Rhys - grêt i dal i fyny a diolch am y paned 👍

We share our instincts to survive, fit in, and pass on our genes, with other creatures. Difficult ethical questions and powerful emotions centre round instincts. But we prefer to think of ourselves as rational… #kindness #allwelcome #selfcompassion #wellbeing

A Christmas Reflection on Love Resisting the pull of scrolling through mind-numbing videos on Instagram, TikTok, or facebook is not easy. Most of the time, I manage to hold my ground. But, last week, I gave in, and, it might sur…

Met so many inspiring people at the Fellowship of Vocations weekend for the diocese of St Davids. Appreciated the invite to lead two sessions with them - and great to be back in Carmarthen, where I lived and worked 1999-2003 😊

Haha! Indeed it would have 😁
