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…

“Man, that sucked!” These words or some derivative version of them have condemned every creative pursuit since the dawn of time. In this post I share my thoughts and experiences around the mental battle we face when we choose to create.

The truth of life is that we will all lose something or someone dear to us at some point. Loss is not a respecter of persons. And when that happens, we get to choose what we do with our hearts. How’s your heart?
It’s been a while, dear Reader. And I’ve missed you. I took some time to study writing, to figure out what exactly I want to write about, and also work through some of the “noise” that was keeping me from doing it regularly. That, and raising a four-year-old is a

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.
