I once heard the saying that being a leader (or Pastor) is not a right, it’s an incredible privilege! That the reality of leading people isn’t something to be taken lightly. That someone’s past, present and future is in our hands. I’ve often had impressed on my heart the words: GO HARD, OR GO HOME! The […]
Are you keen on increase, fruitfulness and favour in your business or profession; in your life generally? How about protection, security and safety? And acceptance, belief, identity and belonging?

But David was told they were coming, so he went into the stronghold. 18 The Philistines arrived and spread out across the valley of Rephaim. 19 So David asked the Lord, “Should I […]
How often have you been asked the question at church on a Sunday ‘How’s your week been?’ I am asked that often, and I usually respond with a flippant ‘Oh much of the same.’ If I stop and dissect my week, I would actually discover it has been quite significant. Obviously I spend the majority […]

I said this to my teams before, that […]
The truth is, that synergy ends where entitlement begins. I can’t tell you how many times someone has asked me, “When will you do your own thing?”. “Your own thing”… That phrase gets thrown around a lot! We talk about trends and responsibilities, social spaces and hobbies this way. “Oh, that’s not my thing.” When […]
What would I say to myself 5 years ago, at my first day on the job? I’ve had the privilege of being the Youth Pastor at our LIFE South Campus for just over 5 years now. It’s been an amazing journey where I have gone from the extremes of “I want to do this for […]
I believe whole heartedly in the benefit and necessity of groups in the church. I have seen many people, and have myself been so blessed by the friendships, support and spiritual and personal growth that takes place in a group setting.

1 Corinthians 9:24-27. Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! 25 All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. 26 So I run with purpose […]
