One of the first things people ask me, when they hear I'm a fan of the supernatural operating in and through a Christian's life, is this, "What's with the "gold dust"?" (If you're not familiar with "gold dust", or you're just interested in seeing some- you can watch this video here, where I show some … Continue reading What’s with the “Gold Dust?”
Why the Supernatural?
I'm a big fan of the supernatural. Angels, Miracles and the Holy Spirit. Diseases healed. souls saved, the dead rising... supernaturally. Yes! I'm a big fan of the supernatural. But why? Because put plainly, the natural doesn't cut it. Last night I sat on a park bench next to a man who was a stranger … Continue reading Why the Supernatural?
Help! I’ve got a heart for the ‘lost’ but all my friends are saved!
Last year I released a book called, Where Rivers Flow. The book was written as a practical guide to help people capture the heart of God and share it across the globe and across the road. It exists to equip you to be the church wherever you live, work, and play. Recently, a young man in … Continue reading Help! I’ve got a heart for the ‘lost’ but all my friends are saved!
The God of Second Chances.
It was a cold rainy Autumn day in the U.K., and I found myself walking around an impressively sized abandoned church building, next door to the smaller chapel I was about to preach in. The church building was falling apart, listed for sale years ago, yet it was still so beautiful. As I gazed up … Continue reading The God of Second Chances.
You carry His presence with you.
This morning I snaked my way up the windy roads, through the ferns and the gum trees, up the mountains behind my house.

It was a cool evening in South Sudan. The sounds of cows mooing, and goats bleating, as they walked home from a day out in the bush, filled the air.

The other day my kitchen tap exploded. I mean… EXPLODED. I turned the tap on and the whole top end of the unit flew off, with a washer smashing me in the face, leaving a nice black bruise over my eye. Frustrated… I looked at that silver serpent and screached, “I will fix you!” I … Continue reading When Christianity doesn’t work…
The Miracle is in the Movement.
“Is there a Brian here?” I asked. There were only a few men gathered at the church that morning. I waited. A man reservedly raised his hand. “Do you have pain in your back Brian?” I asked. “Yes, yes I do”, he replied. “Is it pushing your spine forward?” I enquired further- glancing at the … Continue reading The Miracle is in the Movement.
Did You Learn to Love?
I did not plan to blog today... I'm prepping for a week and a half of ministry and conferences in Asia... but I just heard a song lyric and I felt like I HAD to write. I'll keep it short and sweet. So...I am tormented at the moment at my self-perceived lack of purpose. I … Continue reading Did You Learn to Love?
Bird Watching for the Soul
Kingdom Culture: Bird watching for the soul.I'm not a big bird watcher, in fact, I don't really know what constitutes bird watching... but the other day I watched a bird for what felt like at least 15 minutes, and it was good, it was good for my soul.
