Life after fire

The Australian bush is no stranger to fire. In fact, several species need fire in order to regenerate..

  • Run to win

    I’ve been having some doubts.

  • An open letter to residents of earth for 2020

  • There is no greater love than to lay down your life for your friends

    As I write this there is a political storm happening on social media about the current Australian fire crisis.

  • Isaiah, pronounced Ishaiah

  • Diversity of the Christian worldview

    It’s a new year! And with that comes a time of reflection and change. Reflections on what last year taught us. For me, it was a year of challenges as I discovered my fellow Christians are very diverse in thoughts and opinions (which is great!) but often this can create conflict and tension.

  • Putting your hand up

    For anyone in Australia, it’s hard to escape the shadow of bushfires that is hanging over the nation, both literally and figuratively, right now. Even here in the middle of one of our largest cities, I have been walking out of work in the morning to find the skyscrapers obscured by the smoke of fires burning far away, and the air itself is hard to breath.

  • My ADHD - a comprehension

    Yes, I have written on this previously but in my view it is very important as many are affected by ADHAD as I am.
