I like soccer. I love Jesus. It used to be the other way around. While in Vanuatu, it was fun to combine soccer (football) and Jesus. The Nivans are football crazy. So we ran a bunch of football games with the locals. Find a field. Start kicking a ball. People turn up. At each game, [...]
In Vanuatu I gave a list of my top 10 books for a Christian to read in their first year out of school. The list actually had 11. And then it kinda grew to almost 20. Here is the final list. Shout out to Dan Godden, bro-in-law and co-host extraordinaire, who helped me to decide [...]
Part 1 was all about beautiful people from Vanuatu. This second post is all about some beautiful people from Australia. Is the language ‘beautiful’ a bit gooey? Bare with me. Who are these beautiful people from Australia? The Schoolies. NOT the drunken Schoolies that congregate on the Gold Coast, but a beautiful bunch of 20 [...]

The Schoolies were a solid bunch of Christians and so they loved spending time in the Word as a large group, in smaller groups and in quiet times. The series we did was called “Don’t [...]
I had a mild case of reverse culture shock at 615 this morning while walking through Babylon. The destination? Techno-drum-and-bass-exercise-bike class @ the gym. For the 45 pulsating minutes of the class, I couldn’t stop making comparisons between Vanuatu and Fitness First. It started with differences, but then I also noticed some similarities. Differences: People [...]
I’ve just got back from a Schoolies trip to Vanuatu with Scripture Union. It was an incredible time. Stay tuned for a bunch of blog posts with some reflections. The topic was “Don’t Waste Your Life”, I spoke from Ephesians about God’s purposes for his people. While reading Don’t Waste Your Life, by John Piper [...]
