If God is so loving, why doesn’t he heal me? This is such a big stumbling block for people, they reason if God is so powerful he should take away the suffering. Or maybe he isn’t that powerful after all? I hear you. Suffering sucks. Not gonna lie, I hate it. And if we are […]

Are Christians fooled by Jesus? Let’s ponder on whether this Jesus guy is real, or are christians all around the world duped by him? There’s a quote by Mark Twain that says, “It’s easier to fool people than to convince them they were fooled”. Once people have made a decision and invested themselves whether physically, […]

Who is God? To make a solid connection with people, it’s easier when we know their character; to know their likes and dislikes. The same can be said for knowing God. So who is God?

As a kid, one of my favourite games was Follow the Leader. The wooden bench seats under the Peppercorn Trees made for excellent jumping; leaping from one bench to the other required skills. But the game quickly degenerated because no one wanted to follow me! Ha! I got equally frustrated with my friend’s lack of imagination, wandering […]

Below is an interview that shows how God works his mysterious wonder. David’s powerful testimony showed how God intervenes today. But it also showed how an ordinary person (Genevieve) introduced David to the idea of actually meeting God! David Bennett continues in another interview… “Three weeks after the pub moment, I was at Tropfest, and […]

Why are some conversations filled with laughter, banter, hope and connection-whilst others are dry, boring, superficial and stale? Never been short on an opinion, I’ve got a few theories why.

I’m so pumped with my little pigs and farmhouse, that I wanted to share it with you. It’s an easy craft that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. Making a Pig Craft I found some sheets of foam packaging and I said to myself, “Self, that’s gonna make a great pig!” Hey, and I didn’t even […]
