So... Yesterday was my second day back in LA, and I hit overwhelm... You know when you are driving and you start crying and you don't know why...

A family I didn’t know I had- DAY 1
Day 1 Have you ever met someone for the first time and had an instant connection with them? Have you ever sat next to someone and known straight away that they can be trusted?

Why I’ve given my all to the Cause of Christ…
Yesterday I had a coffee with a young man from the church I'm a Pastor at. He asked me this question... "How come you are so sure of what you believe in, to the point where you have dedicated your life to being a Pastor".

Maybe it's because I have a testimony in this area, but I suspect it might be also because I'm one of the only people they know that is happy to talk about it. … Continue reading Why when it comes to sex- Conversation is crucial
Why the challenge of change and the fear of failure is worth it
I am learning so much at the moment about being "uncomfortable".
