For my Dad
I’ve always struggled with gifts for people. I know a good gift idea when I spot it, but coming up with it is really hard. I have heartily appreciated every gift I have been given, but ultimately gifts aren't the thing that floats my boat. It is knowing that the person who gave it loves and respects me. So this year, rather than giving a gift...
Mashona Music Video
I am certainly not a videographer, but when Alan came to me and asked me to shoot a music video for him, I was quite surprised and certainly challenged, but I said yes. I listened to the song and based on the lyrics, built out a narrative concept and went hunting for locations, props, vehicles etc. We shot the video in two sessions and I had the...

Sabbath School Attendance Chart
We have been focusing on building up our Sabbath School classes to make them work more like small groups. One way we are doing that is monitoring attendance. Not as in roll call, but just quietly so we know who is missing so we can show them some love. I printed up some cards for the purpose and thought I would share it here incase...
Why The Sabbath
Recently I have been giving a lot of thought to the Sabbath, and also reading a great book on the topic called "The Lost Meaning of the Seventh day" by Sigve Tonstad. When i was asked to preach at Rosedale i thought it was a great opportunity to collect my thoughts and put them into a sermon. As a community of faith we are very good...

We have been friends for years but haven't been able to catch up in person for a long time. Seeing we have been traveling it gave us the chance to stay with him and...
Projects
Aus Table Talk is a podcast I run with four of my closest friends where we have a laugh but also go deep on our christian experience.
We like to say “We have the conversations you wish you could have at church”.
This is the only project I have that is just for me. I love creating video and telling stories about my journey to reboot my own life. Physically, mentally and financially.
Part creative outlet, part life documentation I would love to have you join me.
