  • Dad, please... Why were you not there for me?

    There are often issues around how to view God as our Father when our earthly fathers keep bailing on us or make a mess of things. Even when they seem like pretty good dads they still fail us and it mars how we can view God as Father.

  • God's got our backs!

    A young relative of mine, let\'s call him Tom, didn\'t have a very good day at school recently. I could tell by his facial expressions and bodily slump that he wasn\'t himself and something was troubling him.

  • 2016 video of young writer conference – 1 minute 35 seconds

  • The disastrous consequences of breaking your word

    In the society we live in, it seems a natural process to say one thing and do another. Our \'yes\' no longer constitutes a trustworthy statement and a handshake is a traditional gesture without substance.

  • Distraction

    I was visiting a friend of mine recently and as always I asked her if there were any particular spiritual problems on her mind.

    Upon hearing the news, I couldn\'t quite understand. There must be some mistake – Me? First?

We, who thrive on the beauty of storytelling in so many different ways, are flocking to the cinemas in droves to live out the tales of Deadpool, Guardians of the Galaxy and Suicide Squad. These films, with their decidedly anti-stance on the most heroic of heroes, have made a mockery of what it is to be a saviour.

  • Why we no longer want to volunteer

    Volunteerism was once the heart-beat of community. We would go to our 9-5 jobs, and spare a few hours on the weekend for a good societal cause. We would cut oranges, make sandwiches, cook soup, turn snags, and have a laugh in the process.

  • 'All creatures great and small'

    Having lived on a farm in my young, formative years with family members who were keen gardeners and observers of nature, I have always had a strong connection to the Australian land. When we lived in the country town of Moruya (NSW South Coast) at the Basil Sellers Timeout athlete retreat, I created a walk through the natural bushland called \"Australia\'s Bush Orchestra\".
