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.

  • Day 312: Curry Plant

    Day 312: Curry Plant Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Feature a plant in a photograph today" This is a curry plant in our garden. Seems to have done well this year – it’s really grown up a bit. In terms of the photo, I’ve played a little bit with some subtle…

  • Day 311: Aim for the Sun

    Day 311: Aim for the Sun Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photograph today that features the sky." I like the way the post points the way up towards the sun here. I didn’t exactly intend that when I took the photo but I think it came out OK.

  • Day 310: Fence alongside a field

    Day 310: Fence alongside a field Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: I didn’t fancy the Daily Shoot assignment today, so I took a photo out at lunchtime today. I think it came out well.

  • Day 309: Hobson’s Choice

    Day 309: Hobson’s Choice Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Illustrate choice in a photograph today" Today I thought I would illustrate Hobson’s choice: there is a choice here of two different car keys… unfortunately they’re both for the same car.

  • Day 308: White Sky

    Day 308: White Sky Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photograph that features white in a dominant manner" Well I’ve taken the option to ‘blow out the sky’, if that’s the right expression. It was a perfect sky for this kind of thing – bright with even white / light…

  • 21 Weekend Away

    As I think I mentioned previously, this weekend we were away at the 21 weekend away. This was at the Asheldham Centre, which was a really good location. It’s an old converted church, and it’s got plenty of character! And fairly well equipped too. I won’t go through all that we did at the weekend.…

  • Day 307: Flowers

    Day 307: Flowers Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: A nice picture of some flowers. On a day this hot (it’s 29 degrees here, which isn’t THAT hot but given how cold it’s been recently it feels like a massive heatwave) it’s about all I can manage!

  • Day 303: Flower Droplets

    Day 303: Flower Droplets Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: A white flower on a nettle with water droplets on it.

  • Day 302: Salt and Pepper

    Day 302: Salt and Pepper Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photo of a pair of subjects today." Well, the first thought that came to mind was salt and pepper pots! Thought this worked quite well in black and white.

  • Day 301: Sky

    Day 301: Sky Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photograph of water in one form or another today". Well, clouds are basically water aren’t they? That’s what I learned in school at least!
