If you read this blog regularly or if you know me and have spoken to me at all, you’ll know that I like theology. I enjoy discussing deep questions about the Bible, God and all doctrines pertaining to Christianity. I enjoy listening to and reading other perspectives that I don’t agree with to gain aContinue reading “Everyone’s a theologian…”

My story of suffering…
For the past few years I’ve poured many hours into the topic of suffering. This is because I am a pastor at heart and I care for the concerns and pains of those around me. However, there is also a personal reason and that is that I too suffer. In October 2013 I woke upContinue reading “My story of suffering…”
Equip and enable women to serve…
Women’s ministry is seen by many churches as a nice thing to do, it normally involves afternoon tea and craft events. Whilst men’s ministry involves curry nights and watching the football or rugby. To unpack all of that is a whole different blog post in itself. But here I want to stress the importance of
Are you taking Christ out of Christmas?
The assessment of many Christians today is that, in the west at least, we live in a post-Christian society. Many people in the world think that they know what Christianity is, what Christians believe and who Jesus is.

Who are we?
Being a Christian is tough isn’t it? By the way, it is okay for you to admit it! Everyone feels it; everyone, though to a different extent, struggles. Those struggles may come because of the hardships in life, because of questions that we have or maybe you’re struggling because it’s tough living for God inContinue reading “Who are we?”
The hard slog…
Each of us will look back and remember times of encouragement and times of turmoil. We all know those ‘mountaintop experiences’ but we also are well acquainted with the valley experiences. How do we get through those times where life just feels like a hard slog?
The heart of an under-shepherd…
Church leadership is hard; it involves stress, worries, late nights, deep conversations and frustrations. But at the same time church leadership is a joy; it is a pleasure to serve, care for, guide, point people to Christ and love people like family. I have just started my third year of ministry at a church leadershipContinue reading “The heart of an under-shepherd…”
Give them meat not milk…
I’ve written before about the importance of sharing solid truths with children. It’s important because we need to fill their minds with truths that will carry them through life. We need to lift their eyes to see the gospel and the amazing Saviour that we have in Jesus!
