Twists & Turns

The journey of life can sometimes be a funny thing. There are times when the journey is smooth. So smooth in fact that it feels as though you are gliding through it. There is laughter and joy, encouragement and excitement; a fun journey! Sometimes though, you hit a bump or come up to some twists […]

Tragedies and R&R

I work hard. I don’t say that to brag or to seek affirmation or even sympathy. It’s just a matter of truth. I work hard. Chances are, so do you. With such hard work, comes a period of tiredness, that requires rest and relaxation, a period of recharging if you will. After a hard (yet […]

And so it begins…

For months, if not years, I have felt an urge to write. Write what(?!?!?!) was always the question! And of course, there was always the voice in my head that said, who would read what you have to say? What’s the point? Wouldn’t it just be a waste of time? However, over recent times, I have […]

Becoming little

“Young people are in a condition like permanent intoxication, because life is sweet and they are growing.” ― Aristotle. “I wish I could back to being a kid, times were simpler then.

Simon Cowell is well known for finding stars through many a TV talent show. He’s often quoted to say, ‘We’ve just witnessed the Birth of a STAR!’ While those statements are sometimes true, they very much reflect the drive of many individuals.

‘As a young minister, surely you just want to recreate what other youthful churches are doing, Soul Survivor, Hillsong, Bethel… That vision is TOO big for here!!!’ Believe it or not, as a young(ish) minister, (and even previously as a Youth Pastor) I am often times pigeonholed as someone who thinks in certain ways or […]

Stereotypes

‘A small village is just that: small!!! There is no ambition for growth; people move there for their last days and a minister in a place like that will be doing more funerals than outreach…’ That was one of the things said to me when I shared with someone that I was called to serve […]

God is Calling…

I am blessed to be the Minister at Gamlingay Baptist Church. I started there on October 3, 2016, and was ordained by the Baptist Union on December 3 of the same year. As you can see, I have been an ordained minister for a short period time. In addition to being new(ish) in post, I […]

Like a child

Kids say the darnedest things! There are several Tv shows worldwide, which focus on this sort of thing. Bill Cosby had a show when I was growing up, Steve Harvey currently has the show ‘Little big shots’, where the kids are talented beyond belief, but the major entertainment comes from the interviews, and hearing what […]

“We have learned to fly the air like birds and swim the sea like fish, but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers. ― Martin Luther King, Jr What an amazing world we live in: one can jump on a plane, and fly to all parts of this marvellous planet, be […]
