On this site, you can read about, comment on and contribute to my ongoing reflections as I wrestle with questions about God, Faith, Life, The Bible, Church and Theology.
As part of my work with the Methodist Church I got to interview Prof. David Wilkinson about how he approaches matters of Science, Faith and the book of Genesis. You can watch the recording here.
Watch a video in which I introduce people to the book of Genesis, including how the early creation stories are designed to shape our imagination, and how the narratives offer us key insights about God and being God's people.
Here is a recording of me introducing people to the book of Revelation and equipping them with some tools to navigate its strange and sometimes disturbing landscape.
I’m a huge fan of Pentecost. I actually think it is as significant an event in the Christian calendar as Christmas and Easter - even if it doesn’t quite get treated as such. This is a short video reflection about why I think Pentecost was such a big deal when it happened, and remains such a big deal for us today…
This is a video sermon about the spying out of the land which I recorded for my good friends at Hope Church, Basingstoke as part of their ‘Promised Land’ series.
This is a short video series describing different ‘lenses’ that we can use to help us engage with the Bible with great confidence, competence and expectation.
The church community I’m a part of (The Source) holds quarterly retreats reflecting on the different natural and spiritual seasons of life. Each time we meet we work our way through the same devotional reflection on Ecclesiastes 3.
A short video designed to introduce people to a particular approach to exegesis. I specifically created it to help Methodist Local Preachers and Worship Leaders with their exegesis as they prepare for services.
This is a playlist of recorded webinars I ran in 2020 (during Covid lockdown), exploring different readings of the strange and wonderful story of Ruth. The series was produced as part of the annual Methodist Bible Month campaign.
At the very centre of the gospel is the question “Who do you say that I am?” which is posed to Peter by Jesus, but - more importantly - to us, the readers, by the writer. In some ways - this is the fundamental question of the Christian faith and the key reflection point for all those wanting to follow the way of Jesus.
Over several years I’ve been on a journey of increasingly appreciating the inescapably interconnected nature of humanity and the calling to the church to respond to that connectedness well. Here are a couple of talks in which I address this theme as it appears in 1 & 2 Timothy.
I love Isaiah! As far as I’m concerned it is the fulcrum upon which the whole of scripture turns. It stands at the centre of our Bible, connecting the history of the Old Testament to the promise of the New. This is the first session from a sermon series I helped produce on this fantastic book. It provides some insight into what Isaiah exists for as a text, and spells out the ways in which it resembles a bit of a court room drama.
A few years ago I was working for a church in Derby and started up a youth, students and young adults ministry called Awakening in partnership with my friends from Campus Awakening. Below you can see a number of talks I delivered in that setting.
A few years ago, whilst working for a church in Derby, I had the privilege of working with Ian Paul to produce these videos on how to approach and better engage with the book of Revelation.
This is a recording of an advent sermon I delivered during a particularly painful time in my life. My marriage had just broken down. And yet, in the midst of the pain of that season, my appreciation for the nature of God as Emmanuel took on a whole new meaning for me… I’ve never quite thought about the incarnation, Christmas (or Joseph) the same way since.
