Our stories have the power to move, to shift, to break down barriers, and to build bridges. Join me as we learn from them together.
“Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate, and to humble.” -Yehuda Berg
As far back as I can remember, I have had a book in my hand, one in my heart, and three more in my backpack. If you see me around, ask and I’ll start unpacking. Growing up in a tumultuous home environment, books were my safe place. I loved getting lost in other worlds, in characters that often had it worse than I did, but I also loved seeing the most terrible situations find some resolution. And as young as I was, I think that’s what drew me in.
With a background as a varsity lecturer, a pastor, preacher, worship leader, and a Communications Manager for a multi-site Church, I know the power of words well-crafted and spoken. I love to write, teach and speak, and this site is where my musings go. Every two weeks, I’ll share some of my thoughts on what it means to live a faith-based life, and sometimes, just some wacky off-the-wall thoughts I am having…
I live (and thrive) in South Africa, and I am married to the love of my life, Maya, and we have the privilege of being parents to a beautiful, funny, kind, and complicated little girl.
Join me on the journey…

We all end up dragging a couple of dead bodies through the year: the losses, the disappointments, the things we never quite dealt with. Here’s why it’s not too late to put them down, and redeem the best part of 2026, friends. Read more about it in my latest post…

What do you do when it feels like the world is burning?
When faith collides with politics. When voices online grow toxic. When fear and anger threaten to take over.
This week, I wrote about what it means to “hold the line.” Not by choosing sides, not by shouting louder—but by fixing our eyes on Jesus…
The last few weeks have been a doozy, dear Reader. As you know, I collect stories. And sometimes, I even get to live them. This week, I thought I’d get something off my chest. Here goes: life is not fair, and sometimes, it does not work out the way it should. There, I’ve said it. In loss and pain, where do we run—bitterness or God? Discover hope and peace in choosing His presence over despair as you read my latest post.
What’s in your pressure cooker? The rule of life is this: what is ignored or undealt with will inevitably resurface. Learn how to face buried pain, break free from the past, and step into the freedom God has for you.
Some of the latest comments from my blog and podcast.
Once a month we’re having an in-person get together for faith-based writers. In general, we’ll get together, grab some coffee, share what we’re working on, and then take the time to write. Occasionally we will have a guest lecturer on the art of writing. Additionally we will have an online “Book Club” discussing a faith-based book. Sign up for one of our events below.
Want to discuss my work, book me for a speaking engagement or just need to chat about a challenge you’re facing? Leave your details and I’ll get back to you.
