MINDFULNESS: God’s Gift to Mankind

Shaun Lambert is a Mindfulness Researcher, Baptist Minister, Psychotherapist and author. He is part of the New Wine leader’s network, and Mind and Soul network, who has trained extensively in counselling and psychotherapy.

Shaun has been researching mindfulness since 2006, in different perspectives, including the psychological, and Christian perspectives. He thinks mindfulness is a new social phenomenon which needs to be engaged with, especially as it is applied in the spiritual, fresh expressions of church, work, education and learning, relationships and creativity.

Shaun writes regularly for the Baptist Times and other online websites. He believes that all truth is God’s truth and that Christians need to be learners and thinkers who help critique and transform culture. He leads retreats and training days in the area of contemplation and mindfulness. He is pursuing a PhD project in mindfulness via London School of Theology. He has been a faith guest on Clare Balding’s Good Morning Sunday on BBC Radio 2, presented some spiritual reflections for BBC Radio 4’s Daily Service as well as being interviewed by UCB National Christian radio, Premier Radio, and Share Radio, he has also recorded some financial thoughts of the day for Share Radio.
