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?”

Clash of Visions
How to read the Bible is a huge question! Some people read it at face value, whilst some people look into it more in depth and try to find bits that ‘don’t quite fit’. There are thousands of people who die every year for their faith in Jesus that they see in Scripture. But thereContinue reading “Clash of Visions”
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?
Get Preaching…
I love preaching! I enjoy having the privilege to be paid full-time to study and expound God’s Word in many different settings; from the pulpit, in the coffee shop and in evangelism. Preaching is an absolute joy, but it is also difficult.

There are some books that I wish I didn’t have to review! Not because they are bad, not because of the publishers but because of the topic. This is one of those books. It saddens me that books need to be written about spiritual abuse, it saddens me that it is even a thing!
Facing snarls and scowls…
I’ve been around people who are in ministry my whole life, I’ve been in ministry for a few years and I’ve learned many things. Two things that I’ve learned are 1) ministry is fun, and 2) ministry is hard.
Hear the voice of women…
One of the things that I’ve noticed is that there are significantly fewer well-known authors, in the Christian world, who are women. I don’t know why exactly this is because often times women are the ones who teach us to walk, to eat and to speak. So why stop learning from them when we growContinue reading “Hear the voice of women…”
