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.

The emptiness of Christmas – Podcast 109
It’s no secret that the secular version of Christmas has been evacuated of any real meaning. But is the version the church is presenting any better? EDIT: due to being removed from YouTube (probably due to reporting on Steve Kirsch’s analysis of the NZ vaccine data), ONLY available as an audio podcast! Links

Interesting links 30/11/23 (in lieu of a podcast!)
Unfortunately I have come down with a nasty cold, I have a headache and am running on very little sleep. So, I have decided that it’s best this week not to put myself through recording it (and you having to listen to it!) I had started preparing a segment on Christmas, so God-willing that will…

Why Western foreign policy is a disaster – Podcast 108
It’s no secret that Western foreign policy doesn’t seem to be working very well. The West is in a weaker state than it has been, and it keeps getting worse. What’s going wrong, and what can be done about it? Also available as an audio podcast. Links

World War Three – Podcast 107
In this podcast we look at World War Three. We start by thinking about Niall Ferguson’s comments about being in a second cold war, the possibility of that turning into a ‘hot war’, and how it seems to be a battle of ideologies. We then look at Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s comments about why she is…

Are you confused by grace? – Intro & 1st Chapter available
I know I haven’t spoken much about it recently, but my book was published back in March and it’s still available. I just realised that I hadn’t made available the introduction and first chapter (as tends to be customary these days). I know that these things are available via Amazon, but not everyone wants to…

Whose side should we be on? – Podcast 106
We are constantly being encouraged to take sides: in wars – e.g. Israel / Palestine, Russia / Ukraine – as well as in moral issues such as the Russell Brand affair. But whose side should we take? Is it right for us to take sides? What does the Bible have to say? In this podcast…

Why Christians should be ‘conspiracy theorists’
Three conspiracy theorists walk into a bar… you can’t tell me that’s just a coincidence. When I was growing up, conspiracy theorists had a bad reputation. A conspiracy theorist was someone who usually had too much time on their hands and was obsessed with ‘out-there’ theories about what the shadowy elite pulling the strings were…

It’s the end of the West as we know it – Podcast 105
In this podcast we think about how the situation in Israel is like a microcosm of the West. We think about Christian Zionism and the relation to the history of the West, and what things might look like for the future. We also look at a few links – see below – and finish with…

The West, Palestine, and Islam – Podcast 104
A shorter podcast today with a round-up of the news from the last week. We look at Victoria’s Secret and the relationship between men and women; the way that rules are used (or abused) today; an open letter from Palestinian Christians to the West; the similarity of the Ukraine war with the situation in Israel…
