Read more "Every day with God in 2018 part 2"So recently at Waratah, I have been on a bit of a bandwagon of empowering lay people to step into more spaces of ministry leadership.

Read more "The cosmological Christmas part 6."Yep, it sure is Joshua turns 3 months today. 15-09-16 he was born and man, is he growing up fast. I’m sure he’ll be 6 foot 3 next week.
