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

  • Stuff and Things

    Can’t think of anything more exciting to post than that unfortunately! It’s half-term this week, so it was the last 21 of this half-term on Friday night.

  • Day 178: Lichen

    Day 178: Moss Originally uploaded by phillsacre The Daily Shoot assignment today is: “Make a photograph that features the color yellow in some way or another.” I was out at lunchtime today and saw this. It’s not exactly pure yellow but I think it still counts 🙂

  • Now our lives are changing fast

    Bonus points if you can name the song the title is a lyric from. I’ll give the answer at the bottom of this post. Anyway, this will be a ‘real’ blog post, i.e., it won’t just be rambling on about what I’ve been up to! It will be me rambling on about other stuff! Shock!…

  • Day 174: Fence

    Day 174: Fence Originally uploaded by phillsacre This was another attempt at the “Vertical lines” Daily Shoot challenge. I thought it came out well as a photo but didn’t really illustrate the concept.
