Quake It Up
Hello, welcome to Quake It Up! My name is Ollie.
Quake It Up is a new channel posting videos about the faith and practice of the Religious Society of Friends, also known as Quakers.
This channel is focussed mainly on liberal Quakerism in the UK.
The aim of the channel is to introduce Quakerism to people who are wanting to know more about it and to encourage discussion amongst Quakers about the tradition.
I will be reviewing Quaker books, discussing major areas of Quaker history, important aspects of Quaker theology and how Quakers are active in the world.

New Video! Today, I am looking at the deep listening that Quakers cultivate in Meeting for Worship. Whether it is listening to the Divine directly or through vocal ministry, this practice forms a fundamental role in our spirituality, but I feel doesn't get its time in the limelight. Time to remedy that!

New Video! Today, I talk all about my experience of EVENSONG. I talk about my initial misgivings and what I learnt about ways of experiencing the Divine and listening for the still small voice, even amongst all the singing!

New Video! Today, I am looking at why Quakers go to Meeting. What draws people to come together in Quaker worship? Is it the stillness, the community, or to encounter the Divine?

If Quakers believe there is “that of God in everyone”, why do so many meetings look and think so similarly?
In my latest video, I explore why diversity isn't a challenge to Quakerism... it may be essential to it.

New Video! What if living a calmer life wasn't about doing more, but about doing less?
Today, I'm exploring five simple habits from the Quaker tradition that have genuinely shaped how I live and relate to other people. The interesting thing is that you don't need to be religious necessarily to try any of them.... Let me tell you what I mean...

New Video! Whenever we are about to do something for the first time, our minds imagine what it will be like. Often, for better or for worse, these imaginings are unrealistic. Today, I will be busting some of these unrealistic expectations that newcomers (and experienced Quakers!) might have when coming to Meeting for Worship for the first time...

New video! Today, I am (hopefully!) answering the question thrown at modern liberal Quakers a lot - have we lost our spirituality to simply become social activists? I look at how we got here, how it is not quite as it seems, and how DISCERNMENT is the key part of the process.
