  • Am I doing it right?

    In the age of social media and hyper-connectedness, we can chose to share any aspect of our lives to an infinite audience.

  • I have a choice and so do you

    Labels can be really helpful. Like when you are making a coffee and want to put sugar, not salt, in.   Labels and prescriptions have genuine uses. But sometimes labels can be limiting and can trap us in their confines.

  • Lessons from a season of change

    Reflecting on the lessons I have learnt from this ongoing season of change needs little introduction. I want to acknowledge the privileged position I have in seeing this time as one for reflection and growth.

  • What COVID-19 reveals about human nature

    It feels difficult to write on anything at this time but COVID-19. With that being said, I am aware that there is already so much out there on this subject, whether that is news, updates from churches and companies, motivation and encouragement, or tips on hygiene and health.

  • Blessed are those who have learned

    Have you ever felt like you have mastered something? Like you know how to do something and you do it well?

  • Love God, love yourself, love others

    The other night at my homegroup (aka a life group/connect group) we got talking about a lot of things. Among things, we talked about loving ourselves and others.

  • Just do it

    Nike is possibly the most popular sports brand around the world. The Swoosh logo is instantly recognisable, and their slogan ‘Just Do It’ is iconic. It wouldn’t be difficult to find a Nike item of clothing in most people’s wardrobe.

  • Fake it till you make it

    You know that saying, ‘fake it till you make it’? Let’s unpack that a little. 

  • Stewarding Creation well

    How delightful is it to see the sky lit up in yellows, pinks, oranges, reds? A beautiful sunset or sunrise always catches people’s eyes as they look upon it in wonder. Or how about a leisure walk along the beach, listening to the sound of sand crunch beneath your feet, looking at the ocean lappingat the shore, orout at the horizon.

  • Martha and Mary in 2019

    ‘But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”’  (Luke chapter 10, verse 40)
