One of the highlights of the year was a gathering of folks somewhere in Derbyshire in the middle of June. Companionship and the sense of being on mission together was something that was really impressed on me. Seeing the group of people from different backgrounds but with the same heart to pursue what God has […]
Read More YIR15 – 06 – Getting TogetherWhat an intriguing month May was. There were conversations I had with friends that challenged me on why I accept certain things. Especially accepting them having already agreed that these are idols that have been constructed to offer the mirage of safety and comfort whilst actually depleting and diminishing those who subscribe to such systems […]
Read More YIR15 – 05 – Breaking It UpThings happen and sometimes it happens to get us to look at who we are as well as what we do in order to see if it makes sense to persist or to change. April was such a month for that type of reflection. It was done in the company of good people who gave […]
Read More YIR15 – 04 – Sober Reflection for Promising ProgressWhat I recall most about February was the need to deepen relationships. I was blessed to be visited by a dear friend who spent quality time opening my eyes to the riches of Kingdom Living.

Some perspectives may differ and because they differ some find them contradictory, but a closer inspection uncovers the deeper reality that rather than contradictory, they can at […]
Read More PerspectivesIt’s a challenge to say that there are certain things that are right or wrong absolutely. It takes one person to differ and with enough intellect, passion and intensity for any statement to be considered as strong but not applicable to all. It happens in all spheres of life including church. In it all is […]
Read More Grace and HolinessThe world is upside down. Sometimes it feels that way. It feels messed up and in disarray and all I am doing is putting a brave face as the mess gets messier. In the middle of this Jesus does not come in and say it’s all calm. On the contrary, His Kingdom mission heavily disrupts […]
Read More ChangeI have never read the book, watched a film or otherwise completed any sort of media about The Invisible Man. But I am a big fan of the concept. There’s a question that’s asked in the circles I frequent about which ‘super power’ would you want if you could have any. After joking that I […]
