The pastor who walks the long way - Why simple answers won't carry the next decade.
Our people can name their trauma now. They still cannot heal themselves. What the wounded world is asking of pastors — and why the answer is older than another sermon.
The pastor, the loneliest generation in history, is actually asking for. (Shifts: Part 2 of 6)
The most followed generation in history is the loneliest one we've ever measured. What the loneliness shift is asking of pastors — and why filling a room isn't the same as building a family.
An Older Kind of Holiness — Pt 1
Six shifts reshaping the next decade and the kind of pastor each one is asking for. Part one: the pastor of substance.
The Smartphone as Temple - A resource for Pastors
You carry it everywhere. To the dinner table. To bed. To the bathroom. You reach for it before you're fully awake. It's the last thing you see before you close your eyes. What if that's not just a habit, but a liturgy?

Here’s How I’m Actually Using It, and a policy you can use in your church.
A Bible Reading Plan Worth Doing
A one-month Bible reading plan that might change the way you see Scripture. The Shred takes you through the entire Bible in 30 days, immersion, big-picture formation, and a fresh imagination for God’s story.
Getting a Word for the Year
A single word, held before God, can shape an entire year. In this reflection, I share how a “word for the year” has formed my prayers, stretched my faith, and kept me grounded in God’s presence — plus how you can seek one for yourself as 2025 approaches.
Pastor, you’ve almost made it. You’re tired. Now what?
You’ve almost made it. A reflective word for tired pastors on end-of-year fatigue, discernment, and finishing the year well.
When the Title Changes but the Call Remains
Transitions are strange things. You don’t realise how much a role has shaped you until you’re no longer in it. This past year has been about learning who I am — and who God is asking me to be — without the title I carried for a long time.
John Had a Bigger Vision of the Holy Spirit Than We Do
We often reduce the Holy Spirit to gifts, manifestations, or our church preferences. But John gives us a much bigger vision — a Spirit who reveals Jesus, gives life, dwells with us, and empowers the Church. In a moment where Word and Spirit often feel divided, John offers a way to hold both together again.
I Had the Samaritan Woman All Wrong
For years I preached the Samaritan woman in John 4 as the classic “sinful outcast.” It made for a strong sermon… but recently I realised I may have had her all wrong.
A Masters class, a stubborn lecturer, and a quiet rebuke from the text itself forced me to revisit the story without the assumptions I’d been carrying.
What if she wasn’t immoral at all?
What if she wasn’t an outcast?
What if she was one of the first true seekers of Jesus — and the first evangelist of her city?
Rethinking her story has changed the way I read John 4, the way I preach it, and the way I see people whose lives haven’t gone to plan.
This one surprised me. It might surprise you too.

What’s the Deal with Eldership?
Eldership isn’t a corporate board; it’s a sacred trust. Under the Chief Shepherd, elders lead, feed, and tend God’s people — guarding unity, doctrine, and mission with prayerful discernment and humble authority.
Story Is the Secret to Discipleship
We all agree discipleship matters. But what if we’ve turned it into a buzzword instead of a way of life? In this post, I explore why story — not just strategies, habits, or information — is the secret to forming a Christian worldview. Because discipleship isn’t simply learning Jesus’ ideas… it’s entering His story and letting it reshape who we are and how we live.
Why Developing a Christian Worldview Is the Missing Piece in Discipleship
Most Christians don’t realise they’re living from a worldview that isn’t actually biblical. Discipleship isn’t just about better habits — it’s about clearer vision. This post explores why helping people see biblically may be the missing piece in the Church’s discipleship crisis, unpacking six core pillars that shape how we understand reality, purpose, and hope.
