  • Unemployment – a short devotional 2

    Unemployment – a short devotional 2

    I started writing a devotional when I was going through unemployment after university in 2014. It was very challenging for me and I still wrestle with my identity being wrapped up in ‘what I do’ at times. I had only written it for seven days, but thought I would share it…

  • The Suitcase

    The Suitcase

    It’s been a tough couple of days. The depression lifted for quite some time but decided to rear it’s ugly head yesterday. After a wonderful women’s retreat on Saturday with much praise, worship and reflection and getting a chance to share some of my story, I should have prepared myself…

    An interview with Gavin Calver – story, sin and sharing good news

    Tell us a little bit about you and how you came to faith! I grew up in a Christian home, did my best to follow the faith but it didn’t quite work out that way. When I was 14, I got banned from church for six months and left the…

  • Stepping out of a portaloo

    Stepping out of a portaloo

    It was a blessing to attend the Global Leadership Summit in Bristol, a video-cast of speakers sharing their experience on different aspects of leadership. It was a day out for me away from my son for a whole day for the first time too which was bittersweet! I wrote down…

  • And breathe…

    And breathe…

    I just love the autumn… mainly because I prefer the slightly cooler weather and the beautiful colours on the leaves.

    An interview with Sarah Yardley – Cornwall, Creation Fest and Christianese

    Tell us how you came from California to Cornwall! I started coming to the UK in the summer of 2009 and I came over every summer between 2009 and 2014. Over the course of that time I developed some phenomenal relationships, friendships and never envisioned myself living here, but really…

    An interview with Lirika Davis – cultures, communication and Christ

    I am so overjoyed that Lirika Davis has joined me on the blog this week. We first met through the Stilettos Conference in Plymouth and I was captivated by her words of encouragement and love for Christ. Lirika is a wonderful friend, a great speaker and a gifted writer and…

  • Mad or God? by Pablo Martinez & Andrew Sims – BOOK REVIEW

    Mad or God? by Pablo Martinez & Andrew Sims – BOOK REVIEW

    If anyone claims that Jesus was mad or delusional or are looking to dismiss arguments that he was, they should read this book. Written by two psychiatrists who hold true to Jesus being both fully God and fully human at the same time, this is a thorough investigation into the…

  • A Different Perspective

    A Different Perspective

    How I miss the days before social media. I feel that I need to insert an obligatory ‘yes, it is a great way to keep in touch with people and it has other benefits and I am probably not going to delete my accounts’. The very fact that I am…
