What If You’re Meant For More – and the Cross Is The Way There? Introduction: What if you’re capable of so much more than you’ve allowed yourself to become? What if suffering isn’t something to avoid but something to use? Sit with that for a moment. Not as a slogan and Not as a motivational […]

The Name of Jesus: Authority, Not Incantation.
The Name of Jesus: Authority, Not Incantation. A Jesus-Glorifying Call to Recover the Weight of His Name. There is a growing confusion I’ve come to notice in many parts of the modern Church today, and it’s rarely obvious at first glance. In fact, that’s what makes it so tricky. It often arrives wrapped in sincerity, […]
The Canaanites Were in the Land.
The Canaanites Were in the Land. A conversational reflection to encourage, and challenge, both congregant and leader. There are some verses of Scripture we’ve read countless times, they have familiar words, and we think we already understand them and invariably just move on. But every now and then, the Holy Spirit presses on a phrase […]
This Is What Faith Looks Like in the Middle of Chaos.
This Is What Faith Looks Like in the Middle of Chaos. Hello my friends, I want to start by telling you why I’m sharing this meditation with you. It’s because there are moments in the Christian life when faith doesn’t collapse dramatically, it just gets quietly tired. You’re still believing, still praying, still doing the […]
A Gospel-shaped meditation – Those You Have Given Me.
A Gospel-shaped meditation – Those You Have Given Me. I’ve been sitting with a line Jesus prayed, and it keeps drawing me back, not just emotionally, but theologically. “Thank You, Father, for those You have given me.” – John 17:6, 9, 24. That sentence doesn’t stand on its own. At first glance it sounds gentle. […]
Unblocking The Wells.
Scripture Foundation: Genesis 26. Introduction. Let’s keep this grounded and real. There are seasons in the Christian life where you’re still believing, still loving Jesus, still showing up… but the flow just isn’t the same. And if we’re honest, it can feel confusing, because on the outside you look “fine”. But inside, something feels restricted […]
The Lord Is My Rock and Fortress.
The Lord Is My Rock and Fortress. When I read Psalm 18, what strikes me isn’t how beautiful the language is, but how compressed it feels, as if David is reaching for words faster than they can come. He isn’t crafting a song for effect. He’s naming what kept him standing. Let’s start where the […]
WHEN LIFE MAKES YOU HIT THE ROOF.
WHEN LIFE MAKES YOU HIT THE ROOF – STEPPING INTO 2026 WITH A HOPE THAT HOLDS Let me start with a joke — and don’t worry, it’s going somewhere. A husband decided to swap their bed for a trampoline.What happened – His wife… hit the roof. Funny, right? But stick with me — because that […]
A Meditation on Self-Worth, the Worship Landslide, the Loss of Doctrine, and the Call Back to Christ.
A Meditation on Self-Worth, the Worship Landslide, the Loss of Doctrine, and the Call Back to Christ. There’s a quiet but devastating shift happening across our culture and, heartbreakingly, across much of the Church. It’s not sudden. It’s not explosive. It’s a gradual landslide, a slow erosion of foundations that once held firm, leaving us […]
When “Manifesting” Becomes a Modern Tower of Babel.
When “Manifesting” Becomes a Modern Tower of Babel Why the Trend Is Empty, Why It Has Crept into the Church, and Why Scripture Pulls Us Back to Reality It is almost impossible to miss the rise of “manifesting” in today’s culture. Everywhere you look, someone is telling you that if you just “visualise intensely”, “speak […]
