Living the life God intended
Consistency- word for 2026

Consistency is the word God gave me for this blog in 2026. Consistency comes when we realign ourselves with Gods Word. This can cover any aspect of our lives from spiritual disciplines to daily life to emotions to attitudes etc. It does not comprise of big things but a small thing repeated over until change comes. What will you be consistent with this year to move forward? Listen on to find out more.

Shepherds-A Story of Seeing

The story of the shepherds in the Christmas story when Jesus was born appears like a random story. However when we ponder the story and look at the details, we find ourselves asking questions- why shepherds, how did they know which manger, is there a lesson for us. The shepherds were told to go see. What is it we need to see? Listen on to find out more.

Joseph- A Story of Trust

Joseph- we don’t really read much of him in the Bible and after Jesus turns 12 there is no more mention of him. But the little bit of his story we read is centred on a trust in God, honourable to those around him and a willingness to do hard things. The story in the blog is fiction but I hope it gives you a small glimpse into what he may have experienced. Listen on to find out more.

Rewriting my Story

In this year of re-imagining, we often dream of what our future might be like. But until we let go of our past and our past identity, we will never move into our future. God wants us to let Him define who we are now. For example, we were lost, now we are found, we did live in shame, now we live new or we did live in addiction, now we are free. Listen on to find out more.

Walking through loss

I had a situation at the start of this year where I needed to walk through loss, not of a position but of roles. I struggled with it until I realised I was sad and actually grieving over it.

Fight or walk away

The battle is real for Christians. However it is not a physical battle but a spiritual one. We tend to want to battle with our enemy. But there are times we need to walk away, seek God, get more training in the Bible and then go again. Follow the story of Gideon in Judges 7 to see what I mean. Keep listening to find out more.
