Let’s Stop Talking about Masculinity and Start Talking about Discipleship

The masculinity movement is now an entire industry with books, seminars, and speakers. The movement has grown up around notions of “biblical manhood,” but in reality, it reinforces worldly ideas of masculinity and femininity. A whole generation of boys and men today is looking for guidance on how to live as men, and the Christian […]

The Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster Revives An All-Time Great

Review: Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles Final Fantasy Tactics is a game I’ve wanted to play for a long time. The original, released in 1998 in the US for the PlayStation, never made it over to Australia; there was a remake for the PSP too that was also released on iPhone, but I never […]

A Story of Grace Beneath the Rubble

Review: Roofman Based on a true story, Roofman (2025) brings together Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst in a quietly gripping drama about crime, isolation, and unexpected grace. Directed by Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine, The Place Beyond the Pines), the film follows Jeffrey Manchester, a former U.S. Army Reserve soldier whose unusual method of burglary (entering McDonald’s restaurants through […]

The Making of New York City’s Youngest and Most Diverse Mayor

If you’ve scrolled through social media in the past few days, you’re no stranger to the name Zohran Mamdani. And rightly so as he made global headlines by being chosen to be the newly elected Mayor of New York City, the financial capital of the United States.  With this historic win, Mamdani has become a global symbol of possibility. He didn’t just defeat former […]

The sumptuousness of presence

Increasingly, I’m becoming convinced that showing up is an act of resistance; that the presence of our bodies filling places and spaces is a blessing. In a world where many daily activities are being automised, replaced by computers and machines, how beautiful is the gift of simply showing up? How delightful is it to hear […]

Immigration, Conspiracy and Fractured Culture in Yorgos Lanthimos’ Bugonia

Maybe I have just been living under a rock, but in the last few years I have been appalled to realise just how common it is to use the word “alien” to describe immigrants. It is such an explicitly dehumanising term matched in its obvious implicit hatred by its brazen shamelessness. As far as I […]

Christ Without a Flag

Following Jesus in an Age of Christian Nationalism A Kingdom Without Borders Christian nationalism is the great confusion of our age. It fuses the cross and the flag, the gospel and the state, and the kingdom of God and the kingdoms of this world.[1] Christian nationalism takes the beauty of the faith and dresses it in […]

Scott Derrickson: A Christian Director Quietly Reshaping Hollywood

Scott Derrickson is an odd fit for the tidy categories Hollywood likes to sell. He’s the man behind mainstream, effects-driven fare such as Doctor Strange (2016) and tough, intimate horror like The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005), Sinister (2012) and The Black Phone (2021). He’s also an openly professing Christian who talks about faith as formative for his work – not as […]

Ecological Wisdom from the Serpent’s Tale

Review: Snake Talk, Tyson Yunkaporta and Megan Kelleher, Text Publishing In the Jewish-Christian scriptures the snake gets a bad rap. In other spiritual traditions, the snake is more celebrated, the Rainbow Serpent being one example. Tyson Yunkaporta’s latest book, written with his wife Megan Kelleher, is something of an attempt at reptilian reputation rehabilitation, but […]

The Sacred Gift of Free Speech

Why it Must Be Guarded with Truth and Grace Words create worlds. From the first breath of creation, when divine speech summoned light from the void, to the prayers of the weary and the fiery declarations of the prophets, human history has been shaped by speech.[1] Words carry spirit. They form, reveal, and bind; they can […]

Hospitality as a Form of Witness

When Paul wrote to the church in Rome, he gave a list of simple but profound instructions for Christian living. Among them was this command: “Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality” (Romans 12:13). Hospitality is not presented as an optional extra for those who enjoy entertaining. It is a core […]

The Death of Vengeance, the Birth of Grace

The language of vengeance has become fluent in our time. It fills our feeds, our politics, our conversations. It thrives in the chants of rallies, the venom of comment threads, and the conversations of resentment at family tables. Its grammar is simple: They hurt us, so we must hurt them back. It promises strength, vindication, […]
