  • The art of success

    I set myself a goal to run a marathon five years ago. I went from zero to running half the distance in about three months. It took me another year and a half to finally stand at the start line for my first attempt at 42km.

  • Why is prayer so difficult?

    I’ve always thought that prayer was important. If you’re a Christian, you probably believe that too, at least in theory.

  • A vibrant life

    I want to walk into my week excited about the adventure that is life. Alive and alert to possibility. Looking through a lens of love, seeing beauty wherever I look.

    How do we best bring God glory in our worship services? Is it through the polished performances that are commonplace in many modern congregations?  What lies beneath the emotion and the noise?

    I’ve become convinced that my brain keeps what I know and what I believe in two completely separate compartments.

  • Life after 29: When you’ve seen it all before

    For young kids, everything is new. As I look at my own kids, I’m reminded of my amazing first-time discoveries they’re still experiencing.

  • I can’t wait!

    The countdown is on. Christmas is coming. Holidays are on their way!

  • Dear smartphone, are we friends?

    Dear smartphone, Are we friends or enemies? Sometimes I don't know.
