This morning I snaked my way up the windy roads, through the ferns and the gum trees, up the mountains behind my house. I recently discovered a little cafe up here that makes a mean coffee and has a great vibe to it, it's also one that I rarely see people I know in- which … Continue reading You carry His presence with you.
Missional Lessons from an African tribe: The Laarim, South Sudan
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.

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.

Why I’m “Going Public” in 2017.
Facebook Live... Youtube... Instagram... If you know me, you see me. WHY? I'll tell you why. 3 years ago I talked with a 13 year old kid about where he goes to for theological answers... his answer, Youtube. The user he likes to search for answers was named something like "darkangel218" and the 'theology' this … Continue reading Why I’m “Going Public” in 2017.
