Welcome to my website
I am a pastor and Christian educator.
In a nutshell, this is what I do…
Understand the Bible
My online ministry focussed on creating videos and songs to teach the Bible and the Christian faith.
The Bible Uncancelled
A short, weekday thought from the Bible published on video or podcast.
This Blog
I only write occasionally here now, as my attention is focussed on the two things I mention above. However, there is an archive of over 2,000 posts which I’ve made over the last 20+ years, these posts are all still accessible.

STOP doing evangelism! I’m serious!!
In this video I want to explain why I think the way the church is going about evangelism at the moment is not helping and in fact even hinders the gospel. I think we need to stop evangelising and start doing discipleship instead. This video was posted to Understand the Bible, but I think it’s…

Escaping from the web of lies – Podcast 120
I find it hard to believe almost anything put out by the mainstream media today – at least on anything of substance. Covid exposed the fact that the govt and the media will routinely lie. In this podcast we look at some recent examples, and ask – how do we break free? Alternatively, you can…

How can they STILL think they’re the good guys? – Podcast 119
Our elites seem to have an unshakable belief in their moral righteousness. How can this be the case, if an independent observer would judge that we don’t even keep our own standards? In this podcast we look at why the elites cannot see their own failings. Alternatively check out the audio podcast. Links

Should Christians support Israel?
One of the things I find most difficult about modern politics is the question of Israel. Should I, as a Christian, support Israel or not? Should I support Palestine or not? I think a lot of Christians have the idea that all Christians should support Israel unconditionally – or at least, should mostly support Israel.…

Love your neighbour, hate your enemy? – Podcast 118
