Keeping Christ at the Centre

Resisting Idolatry in an Age of Distraction There’s a tragedy unfolding in many corners of the church today. It isn’t loud enough to make headlines. It doesn’t announce itself with scandal or collapse. Instead, it moves like a subtle fog through sanctuaries and institutions, soft enough that few notice the drift. It begins whenever something […]

The Bliss of a Quieter Ego

I borrowed this title from an article in The Atlantic that a friend sent to me. I was drawn to the use of the comparative – why quieter? Why not simply a “quiet” ego? Before even reading the article what came to mind is gone are the days where we self-deny and state that the self does not […]

A Queer Christmas Message 

If you have heard or felt you are “too much”, “not enough,” or “not quite fitting in… you have made yourself smaller, quietened your laugh, fixed your walk, not spoken when you should, or skipped the morning tea because it was easier, Christmas is for you!   Beloved ones, Christmas is God’s great “YES” to you!  […]

Living with Inner Peace When the World Feels Uncertain

When the world feels uncertain and restless, the call to inner peace can seem out of reach. News cycles move from one crisis to the next, and even within your own circles there may be grief, division or fatigue. Yet the Christian understanding of peace is not about avoiding turmoil. It is about recognising that […]

The Centrality of Jesus Christ for Christian Discipleship and Spirituality

There’s a centre to all things, and it’s not us. In an age where the self is enthroned and every voice declares its own truth, Christian faith makes a startling claim: that the true centre of reality, of faith, of creation itself, isn’t an idea or a moral code, but a person: Jesus Christ. In […]

Wake Up Dead Man: A Rejection of Fear-Based Faith, and a Call to Genuine Discipleship

Wake Up Dead Man is the third installment of Rian Johnson’s Knives Out films, following detective Benoit Blanc as he solves elaborate and contemporary murder mysteries. These films have become one of the most unique and interesting film franchises of the 21st century, being somewhat of an anomaly in their unique, anthology-esque approach and authorial […]

The Master of Horror’s Ghastly Yet Strangely Hopeful Vision of 2025

Stephen King is without a doubt one of the most prolific and well-known novelists of the modern era. He has transcended the literary community and become an icon of pop culture, and most people would have a passing recognition of his work whether or not they were aware of it. An indicator of this is […]

Following Jesus in a Culture of Consumerism

A crucial part of being a disciple of Jesus is the ability to integrate your faith into your life in a meaningful and tangible way. It isn’t enough to simply understand the theory behind your faith – the x’s and o’s of Biblical literacy and historical Christendom. To truly embody the life of a Jesus […]

How the Bible Shapes Christian Discipleship and Spirituality

There are few things more radical than believing that the living God speaks: still, now, through words on a page. Compared with the views of our age, it’s an astonishing conviction to believe that these words in Scripture, ancient yet alive, can pierce the noise of history and the chatter of our minds to reveal […]

Humanity Isn’t Dead: A Conversation with Dr Daniel Widdowson

Sitting across from Dr Daniel Widdowson, it becomes clear that reconnecting is not just the first step of our conversation, but one of the very actions his new book encourages. It has been years since we last spoke, yet the familiarity returns quickly. As we talk, it is easy to see how his latest project, […]

Doubt and Discipleship to Jesus

How Christian Spirituality Guides Our Way There are nights when faith feels like silence. When prayer echoes into absence. When words once bright with certainty now taste like ash. It’s tempting to think something has gone terribly wrong; that doubt is failure, that questioning means betrayal. Yet the witness of Scripture and the great Christian […]

Exvangelicals and the Exodus

Spiritual Lessons for Deconstructing Faith There’s a migration unfolding across Western Christianity. You can hear it in the discussions on podcasts, the honesty of social media posts, the long pauses in once-familiar prayers. They call it deconstruction: a word that sounds like demolition but often hides something gentler, something more sacred. For many, this journey begins […]

Recovering the Rhythm of Sabbath and Renewal

The pace of life leaves little room for pause. Many people measure their value by what they produce, how full their calendars are, and how indispensable they appear. Yet within the Christian tradition lies an alternative rhythm – one that values rest as much as work and recognises worship as essential to human flourishing. The […]

Should We Idolise the Fifties?

Note: This analysis contains spoilers for Lessons in Chemistry and The Marvelous Mrs Maisel. It also raises issues of sexism, misogyny and assault. If you have heard any of the rhetoric that has come out of the manosphere, one of the common threads is the idea that women in the 1950’s were real women. They […]

How to Pray When Words Don’t Come Easily

Some days, prayer flows easily. Words come without effort. But there are also days when sitting down to pray feels like facing a blank wall. Nothing comes. Thoughts scatter. Emotions feel heavy. You might wonder if God even hears you. But prayer is not about getting it right. It’s not about speaking beautifully or checking […]

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 […]
