This blog post was written at about 11:30 at night, sat cross-legged on my bedroom floor with a giant cup of tea and an old Matt Redman album on in the background. It’s going to be one of those blog posts that is straight out of my journal – but I figured that if...
The Colossians Series: Faithful Brothers and Sisters (Col 1:1-7)
Colossians – a letter from Paul to the Church in Colossae – is one that I find myself flicking through pretty regularly, mainly due to the sheer amount of gems that we find inside of it. Any of the verses could be written on a post-it note and stuck to your wall: Paul packs...
Jog On: What God has Taught Me While Running.
It’s Saturday morning at the time of writing this, and I am currently laying down as flat as I possibly can on our living room floor, having just come back from a run. I went for my first ever run, using the couch-to-5k app, about two years ago, and I have officially caught the...
Plan C is Just as Good (I Promise).
“If you don’t do what God has told you to do, then He’ll find someone else to do it – you’ll have missed what He has for you”. It’s one of the first things that I remember being told as a new Christian. It was the week of one of the many summer camps...
Should we Burn Dirty Fuel?
This post is a kind of response to a video that caught my attention on Youtube – Hank Green is a well-known figure in the YouTube community, and in this video he was sharing his thoughts on motivation, and where we get our...

Five Minutes With: the Director of a Bible College (Robin Barden from Ridley Hall, Cambridge)
We’ve spent the last few weeks talking lots about the Ridley Lay Ministry course at Ridley Hall in Cambridge: we were invited to partner with Ridley to share our thoughts about the course, and to chat about my experience of studying there. While these are sponsored posts, I jumped at the opportunity: my experience...
Stop Paddling – It’s Time to Jump Up.
I will admit that I know next to nothing about surfing, and most of my knowledge comes from bad Australian soaps that I watched as a child – but I’m pretty sure that the process goes something like this: you paddle until your arms hurt, and you’re in deep enough water that you will...
Five Minutes With: Ru Cullen.
We had a chance this week to sit down for five minutes with our friend Ru Cullen, and we have got a treat for you – this gem has got some wisdom. Ru is an incredibly talented worship leader and musician – she has thrown herself full force into a life for God, and...
The People that you are Allowed to Delete from Facebook.
Facebook is something that has, annoyingly, played quite a big role in my life. I’ve had an account since I was a teenager, and I’ve managed to collect a pretty big, pretty random selection of friends over the years: from the people that I went to secondary school with, to friends from the various...
