My wife and I parent 5 young boys and so I can tell you from my own painstaking experience that questions can be one of the most frustrating parts of our day. The problem is that each of our boys on their own don’t feel that they are assalting us with non stop verbiage however…
I have decided to put a very basic plan online after being asked by so many people how I have lost some weight and what is all this Low Carb High Fat / Keto Stuff. I personally have spent countless hours in research, reading both sides of the debate in the SAD (Standard American Diet)…
Well today we can finally let people in on some news that we have been keeping for a few months now. So straight to the point, we will be taking on the leadership of Elevate Church in Torquay. This decision has been about three months in the making and has come about as a result…

I was in church today and I had a real moment where I wondered how visitors to our Church must think that worship is weird. I mean we raise our hands, close our eyes, dance around, maybe even do the Pentecostal two step. (Ask around if you don’t know what this means) The more I…
2014 started in a very morbid fashion for me I spent a whole day imagining my own funeral. Now it’s not really as bad as it sounds what I was actually attempting to do was, live my life on purpose and “Begin with the End in Mind” which is actually the 2nd Habit from Stephen…
I have decided to repost an article which featured on the Bible Society website and was also printed in the Eternity Newspaper across Australia, I honestly found it difficult at the time having to retell my story as it’s not exactly the story that I would have picked for myself growing up but it’s the story…
