One of my favourite places in the world is the arrivals hall at an airport. More specifically, I love the walking from Customs and Border Patrol in an American airport through to the international arrivals hall. On the other side of the metal detectors and glass...

A huge privilege of the work I do for Gateway church is meeting with lots of you, getting to know you and talking about some really deep things. I love it! Sometimes I’m really amazed by the way in church we can so quickly trust others to tell them our struggles...

Reading the Bible: The Interpretative Journey (Part 1) can be found here. I want you to imagine a large map, with (1) an ancient village on the left, (2) a river in the middle, (3) a bridge over the river, (4) a signpost just past the bridge and (5) a modern village...

I don’t know about you, but sometimes reading the bible can feel really difficult. In fact, it can seem not abnormally difficult: reading a passage and instantly forgetting what it was about. Why is this? After years of thinking that ‘I should’ read it or pushing...

Easter. Just the mention of the holiday invokes thoughts of chocolate eggs, hot cross buns and Easter egg hunts. Growing up in the southeast United States, Easter was full of traditions. My two sisters and I would get taken on a shopping trip and we would buy matching...
