What does it mean to be loved by God when we are at our worst? The story of Hosea and Gomer isn’t just an ancient account of heartbreak and betrayal—it’s a divine illustration of God’s relentless, redemptive love for us. In this post, we explore how Hosea’s call to marry an unfaithful woman reveals the…

What if the greatest threat to your spiritual life isn’t sin, but distraction? In the story of Mary and Martha, Jesus gently corrects a hardworking woman not for doing something bad, but for missing something better. In this post, we explore what it means to choose “the good portion”—to sit at the feet of Jesus…

I had the honour of being invited to preach at a Baptist church down south, and this sermon was the result. What begins with a story about preaching at a youth retreat (with The Emperor’s New Groove as my assigned Disney film, no less!) unfolds into a deeper reflection on fear, doubt, and what it…

Jesus didn’t just send out the Twelve — He sent out the seventy-two. That means the mission isn’t just for the few, it’s for all of us. But what happens when we get it wrong? What if we say the wrong thing, make a mistake, or embarrass ourselves trying to represent Jesus? In this honest…

In this blog, I unpack how the very strengths God gives us—like loyalty, leadership, or even a quick wit—can become our downfall…

“If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” These words from Jesus in John 14:15 are both a comfort and a challenge. We often speak about love in soft, sentimental terms—but Jesus connects love to obedience. Not a legalistic obedience, but one that flows naturally from relationship. To follow Jesus isn’t just about belief;…

We all do it. We see someone in gym gear headed to Greggs and think, “Vain!” Spot Christmas lights up in October? “Ridiculous.” Hear a complicated coffee order and brace ourselves for a TED Talk on oat milk? “Pretentious.” But what if those snap judgements are more than just funny observations?
