I love Steve. He is among the greatest men I have ever had the pleasure of coming across. Great, because he is a man of integrity. He values the truth, he doesn’t take rubbish. His generosity has benefited many and he is humble enough never to make a big deal of it at all. His […]

Meetings can get a bad reputation. For being long, for the arguments, for the lack of things done, for a lot of talk without much action, for the malaise that can set in and a whole host of valid issues that hampers a meeting. As a result some prefer not to attend them or brace […]

A friend of mine was concerned. He was asked to facilitate a session standing in for someone else. My friend’s concern was how to facilitate the session in the typical way that the absent facilitator would do it.

One of the best memories I have in life is of The Hub. My good friend Andy lived in a place that we loved to refer to as the hub, where God could do business with us because it was a place of transparency, hospitality and honesty that encouraged vulnerability. The occasions I would enjoy […]

For those of you looking for a piece on Martin Luther and the last book in the Bible, this is not that kind of article. 2 Chronicles 34 outlines an impressive chapter in the life of the nation of Judah. The new king Josiah lives up to the standard of David, one of the few […]

Becky knew she couldn’t ignore the alarm the second time. It’s incessant repeating tune and vibration did not allow her to do anything other than stare annoyed at it. Not that she had been deep asleep. Not that she enjoyed a decent night’s sleep. Again. Just that the alarm ruined the usual delusion she gave […]
