How to Stop Striving and Trust God
There’s a moment in John 6 that I’ve read many times, but this week one detail really stood out to me.
Jesus had given the disciples direction. Matthew tells us that He told them to get into the boat and go to the other side.
So off they went.
Then the wind rose. The sea became rough. What should...

Cut The Rope
I heard a story recently about a man who decided to treat his wife to a hot-air balloon flight.
He wasn’t particularly afraid of heights, but as he climbed into that simple wicker basket and realised just how little there was between him and the ground, he started to feel decidedly less brave.

What to Do When You Feel Like Nothing Is Happening

Setbacks Don't Cancel the Dream God Gave You
If you watched the World Cup opener last night, you'll know it wasn't exactly a clean game. Mexico beat South Africa 2-0, but the headlines today are about the three red cards shown – the most ever in a single World Cup opening match. By the end, South Africa had nine men on the pitch and Mexico...

When Someone Else's Success Makes You Feel Left Behind
There's a moment in the parable of the prodigal son that most of us gloss over.
We know the story. The younger son who squanders everything, comes to his senses in a pig field, and makes his way home. The father who runs to meet him. The robe, the ring, the fatted calf. The celebration.

Disappointed by How Things Turned Out?
Have you ever looked at part of your life and thought, ‘I really didn’t expect it to go this way'?
Maybe a business failed. A relationship broke down. A dream took longer than expected.
Or life just unfolded differently to how you imagined.
Disappointment can make you stare so long at the door th...

How to Trust God When the Dream Feels Big
Sometimes the real battle is not the dream itself.
It is what we are saying in our hearts about the dream.
Verse of the Week
“If you should say in your heart, ‘These nations are greater than I; how can I dispossess them?’ – you shall not be afraid of them…”
