It’s a five-a-side game, but we only had four players. The opposition were fresh, well prepared and fit, where we had just finished one fame, were exhausted and almost out on our feet. Yet there was something in our players that refused to completely buckle. They overran us and made the most of the one […]
Read More Keep Going To The EndYeah, it’s football related, but it’s still good. So it’s the European Championship in France. Belgium, apparently ranked number two in the world, take on Italy who are not widely fancied because of their lack of big names. Belgium, meanwhile, have a number of very good players. As the game progresses, though, the Italians have […]
Read More Team vs Bunch of Gifted IndividualsOne of my favourite things in scripture is the image of Jesus and the 12 disciples going about doing Kingdom business. I just love the image of Jesus praying to the Father to get insight as to who to choose and then going around picking these men. Then the image of these men following and […]
Read More Brothers On MissionKingdom. Mission. Discipleship. Community. Family. These are very important. To succeed in these areas at all is not just about the personality. It’s not just about the individual. It’s not just about that person at the front. It’s about the interdependent connections. It’s about the husband and the wife together.

Read More This Teamwork Business…Great news. As I entered my home this evening after an interesting day’s work a package was there waiting for me. Now I know I didn’t buy anything new, so I was genuinely wondering what it was. Barely containing the excitement and intrigue as to what it would be, I dashed away the coat and […]
Read More Writing A Book: That Takes A TeamIt’s funny really. Despite for so long preferring my own company, I have always been fascinated by relationships, groups and teams. Indeed my biggest love was about a sport played by a team. How the team is formed and how it performs has been something I enjoyed studying and eventually began practicing in one aspect […]
Read More Ten Ingredients Of A TeamWhen I look at what worked really well over the brief course of my life, I find a lot of it is down to the power of group work. There is something brilliant about three or more people gathering and committing to work together on a joint cause. I get the impression church is meant […]
Read More Groups: A Whole Greater Than An IndividualWhen I was walking home one evening, I turned the corner to the street where my home is located. As I got closer to my house I was struck by the number 12. I don’t mean that literally of course. It’s not as though a figure representation of the two digits assaulted my physically. I […]
