  • Living on Mars: Social Media, Sorrow, and the Call of Christ

    I hadn’t searched for the footage. It searched for me. One morning, opening Facebook, I was confronted with video after video of Charlie Kirk being shot—slowed down, replayed, dissected. Teenagers who never sought such images were suddenly forced to witness a man’s death. The comments beneath horrified me. Some mocked, some celebrated. Others called for…

  • Faith, Violence, and the Death of Charlie Kirk

    Yesterday’s shooting of Charlie Kirk has left me compelled to write, not as a political statement, but as a Christian wrestling with grief, anger, and sorrow for our world. I never agreed with Charlie on everything. Few of us ever agree with anyone completely. But I respected him. I respected his courage to sit across

  • Lessons from the 72: Imperfection in Service

    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…

  • Understanding Pentecost: The Spirit’s Power Today

    I didn’t become a Christian by going to church. I started going out of what I’d now call spiritual insurance. You know, just in case. I figured if I clocked in enough Sunday hours, maybe I’d earn some favour at the pearly gates. Like St. Peter would be standing there with a clipboard going, “Alright

  • Living as Ambassadors: A Faithful Reflection

    “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;…

  • Seeing Others Through God’s Eyes: A Spiritual Reflection

    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? What if they’re barriers…

  • The Miracle at Cana: Jesus’ First Transformation

    The wedding at Cana is one of the most surprising stories in the Gospels. Jesus’ first miracle wasn’t healing the sick or calming a storm—it was turning water into wine at a wedding. On the surface, it seems almost trivial. But dig a little deeper, and you’ll find a profound message about joy, abundance, and…

  • Understanding the Covenant Service in Methodist Churches

    Have you ever paused to consider what you’re really doing during a Covenant Service? It’s not just another Sunday at church. It’s a moment to recommit, to realign, and to embrace God’s grace in a deeply personal way. At the heart of it all is a word that often feels heavy: sin. But what if…

  • Living in Readiness: Preparing for Christ’s Return

    Deadlines have a way of snapping us to attention, don’t they? Whether it’s training for a marathon or scrambling to meet a work deadline, they motivate us to act—sometimes with discipline, other times with panic. But what happens when the deadline is unknown? How do we stay ready for something that could happen at any…
