I Was a Stranger and You Welcomed Me

A Kingdom at the Border The border isn’t only a line in the sand or a fence cutting across hills. It’s also a place where theology bleeds. It’s where fear meets flesh, where the policies of nations touch the skin of people experiencing poverty. Here, humanity is measured in papers, permits, and checkpoints; worth is […]

Faith Is Never a Solo Journey

Faith does not grow in isolation. It takes shape in the presence of other people. From the first pages of Scripture, God shows that life with Him is tied to life with others. “It is not good for the man to be alone” (Genesis 2:18). This is not only about marriage. It speaks to the […]

The absurdity of enchantment

I’m well into writing my book about transcendent experiences. I am enjoying it immensely. However it is also becoming challenging to define what I mean by transcendence. The more I try, the more the word seems to slip through my fingers. And the more ridiculous I sound. As I was doing some research I came […]

Unshackled

Breaking Addiction’s Chains through God’s Grace On July 23, 2025, I will celebrate twenty years sober, having struggled with alcohol addiction for over a decade before I was finally free in July 2005. I’m writing a book on my experience in the hope it’ll encourage others, called Unshackled: Breaking Addiction’s Chains through God’s Grace (it’ll be released […]

Between Two Tears: Christian Spirituality and the Israel–Gaza War

A Wound That Speaks This isn’t a post for comfort. This is a post for witness. The Israel–Gaza war is a wound that bleeds on both sides: blood that calls us to lament, not slogans. Children starve in Gaza, hostages lie in captivity, cities crumble, lives vanish. Yet the suffering isn’t one-sided. Israelis live in […]

Faith, Tik Tok and Generation Alpha

Generation Alpha—the kids born from about 2010 onwards—are the first to grow up with TikTok and similar platforms as a normal part of life. For many of them, TikTok isn’t just where they get entertainment. It’s where they learn about the world, discover new ideas, and form opinions about politics, culture, relationships, and even faith. […]

Don’t Judge Me, but the Final Destination Films Taught Me Something About Faith

So, I binge-watched every Final Destination movie. On a rainy weekend. Yes, all of them. Even the new one, Bloodlines. Yes, I hear you saying that’s a lot of flying hubcaps, falling signs, and freakish household accidents. On the surface, they’re schlocky, Rube Goldberg machines of doom. But somewhere between the laughing at absurd death […]

What Does ‘Spiritual but Not Religious’ Actually Mean?

According to Barna, a lot of Gen Z Christians are now calling themselves “spiritual but not religious.” They want a connection with God without the Sunday routine, the leadership structure, the rules, or the church baggage. To them, spirituality works just fine on its own. And honestly, it’s not hard to understand why. They’ve grown […]

The Intergenerational Conversations We Can’t Afford to Lose

Think about the last time you had a meaningful conversation with someone from a different generation. Perhaps it was a grandparent sharing a childhood memory, a young colleague explaining the latest app, or a neighbour offering gardening tips. These moments might seem ordinary, yet they hold a powerful truth of our lives being richer when […]

An ordinary mystic reflection on AI

At a recent writers festival author Richard Flanagan spoke about the inspiration behind his new book Question Seven. He shared that one day a friend of his had an accident which ripped the side of his mouth quite badly. His friend took a photo of it and sent it to Flanagan who gasped at how horrendous it […]

God’s Will Is Not Your LinkedIn Profile

Am I wasting my life? It’s a question that tends to sneak up on you — when you’re stuck in traffic, staring at a screen, or lying in bed at 2 a.m. wondering if your life is adding up to anything that matters. You’ve prayed. You’ve listened. You’ve waited. And still, you’re not sure if […]

Superman, Fantastic Four and the New Sincerity

So apparently Superman is woke now? Let’s put aside for one moment the obvious fallacy in the very use of “woke,” usually by conservative white people, as an insult or critique of any real substance. There are countless words that have been written and spoken by authoritative and informed voices on the history of “wokeness” […]

Your story as pilgrimage

Six-word memoirs and our life stages. I recently came across a website called Six Word Memoirs. The challenge as the title suggests, is to summarise your life’s story in six words. On the one hand I baulked and wondered the superficial, instant noodle, TikTok culture we are to try to summarise our lives in six words. […]

Let’s Talk About A Biblical Cinematic Universe

First, The Chosen started pulling box office numbers that made Marvel blush. Then came House of David, which shot to the top of Amazon’s charts faster than David took out Goliath. Now FOX is reportedly developing a prestige drama about the women of Genesis. Because apparently, the Bible is the hottest intellectual property at the […]

The Imago Dei in the Age of AI

We live in a time where artificial intelligence is starting to do things we once thought only humans could do—write poems, diagnose diseases, create art, even offer relationship advice. As AI grows in capability, we’re left with big questions: What makes us human? Where do we find our worth? And what sets us apart from […]

What If Acts Happened Today? ‘Testament’ Dares to Imagine It

We often ask what it would look like if Jesus were among us now. How would people respond? Would they follow him? Ignore him? Cancel him? Testament, a new TV series from Angel Studios, takes that question and runs with it—not by retelling Jesus’ life, but by dropping the Book of Acts into a world […]
