After looking through the notes for the other talks Perkins did, I don’t want to post a part 2. It was mostly him walking through the model of how he selects and trains leaders. And unless you’re in a position as a pastor where you’re looking to raise up new leaders it’s probably not that…

Sometimes, I just need to get a quick update done on my blog page before I can carry on again. Like pushing all the leaves in the drain out the way to get the water flowing again (and that’s as creative a picture I paint). Hopefully this will be it. Not very pretty, eloquent but…

1st of September 2016….I start my new job today!! So I thought it would be really good to think about and lay out some resolutions. One of the preachers that I give a lot of ear-time to is John Piper, partly because I find myself so stretched by his sermons in my walk with God…

So recently I have felt a desire to read through and begin typing up some of my old journals so that I have them electronically preserved and easier to read. Whilst attempting this tedious task, I have laughed quite a bit as my very excited past-self recalls different church meetings, worship band practices and meetings…
