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.

  • Website admin complete

    Just wanted to say that all the website admin stuff I mentioned in my previous post is now complete. In case you’re curious about what I’ve done, here’s a quick post with an explanation. Maybe it will help someone who was in a similar situation to me (i.e., paying for hosting you don’t need). Previously I’ve…

  • What I’m studying

    I said a while back that I’d post up a little bit about what I’m studying. It might be useful for anyone who’s considering studying at Oak Hill, or it might just be interesting if you’re wondering what an ordinand (i.e., someone studying Theological and Pastoral Studies) actually does! Here’s a rough guide to the…

  • Website admin

    I’ve decided to shift my domain name over to another provider, which will be a bit cheaper. I’ve also decided that I want to move my hosting to somewhere which doesn’t cost this much – I’m currently paying £60 per year which isn’t *massive* but at the same time is probably more than I really…

  • Things… happening

    Just wanted to post to reassure you that things are still happening. As far as I am aware the world is still spinning on its axis, and nothing is going majorly awry on a planetary basis. (We’ll leave the thorny issue of climate change out of it for now.) I’m pretty busy, as you might…

  • Night Tree

    Night Tree Originally uploaded by phillsacre This was a picture taken at a BBQ we went to last Friday. Unfortunately I didn’t have my tripod with me but I managed to balance the camera on top of a chair and this one didn’t come out too badly. I love the colour of the sky, really…

  • First week survived

    Well, I’ve survived my first week at Oak Hill! It was a really good – but busy – week. We both met lots of people, and I’m still struggling a bit to remember names. That said, everyone has to wear name badges for the first three weeks of term so it’s not that bad. I’m…

  • And… breathe.

    Apologies for not updating much over the past few days – term started here at Oak Hill on Monday, and it’s been pretty much non-stop ever since. I think I’ve managed to fill out most of the forms, fill out my elective module choices etc, so that’s all done. I’ve met lots of new people,…

  • Moving and everything

    Hello there! This is my first proper blog post since moving down to London (well, if you don’t count the Project 365 posts. Which probably most of you didn’t. But still.) So, yes. Last Monday we waved goodbye to Colchester and headed down to London. My parents helped us out with moving (they picked up…
