Happy New Year friends! Hope it's not too late to say that?? 🙈 You've had 27 days to try on 2023 - how does it fit? Is it a little bit snug or too loose in places or just right? Or if you're like me, the 'holiday' fog is still lifting and you're slowly cranking … Continue reading 2023: Trust the Process

Breaking the Bias – Rahab Style :)
Throughout the Bible, wherever Rahab is mentioned (Joshua 2,6; Matthew 1:5, Hebrews 11:31; James 2:25), her profession is also included - ‘Rahab the harlot’. This is in no way to insult or denigrate this great woman of faith but indeed God’s way of highlighting the fact that she had so many strikes against her, so … Continue reading Breaking the Bias – Rahab Style 🙂
Showing up for Real in 2022
"I cannot show up to fight Goliath in Saul's armour." This one thought has been doing the rounds in my head for a while. I’ve recently been re-reading the account of David’s duel with Goliath in 1 Samuel 17. This is a classic bestselling, 'cinema sell-out' thriller of a battle where the underdog topples the … Continue reading Showing up for Real in 2022
Change the Channel
Recently, I have been reflecting on the story of Adam and Eve's unfortunate misstep that condemned the entire human race to the slippery slope of sin. Questions play an important role in this story; from the Serpent's post-modernesque 'Has God indeed said you shall not eat of every tree in the garden?' all the way … Continue reading Change the Channel
#MentalHealth: Give Yourself an Out
It's Mental Health Awareness Week in the UK and it's really encouraging to see conversations about mental health-related issues come out of the shadows of shame and stigma. We live in a very stressful world, with many different legitimate things vying for our attention. If you're anything like me, you most likely don't make it … Continue reading #MentalHealth: Give Yourself an Out
A Song for the Night
Grief. Loss. Disappointment. An unholy trinity always waiting round the corner to ambush us. Even when we see them coming at a distance, we can never move out of the way fast enough. These three have mastered the art of leaving us completely undone, robbed and violated. It's easy to scroll past the pain of … Continue reading A Song for the Night
The Weaker I Get, The Stronger I Become…
Photo by Oshin Khandelwal on Unsplash Recently, I was listening to a short exhortation about our inherent weakness and the importance of prayer. With great passion and tenderness, the preacher appealed to his listeners to see prayer as a lifeline, not a luxury. He pretty much confirmed my suspicion - I don't pray enough because … Continue reading The Weaker I Get, The Stronger I Become…
From the Altar to the Slaughter House: Unbreakable Ruth’s Story
For our second interview in the ‘Overcomer Series’, we’re having a chat with The Unbreakable Ruth. Ruth is a life coach with a passion for empowering women to achieve the life of their dreams. I first came across Ruth’s story a couple of years ago and to be honest, I was gob-smacked. For most of … Continue reading From the Altar to the Slaughter House: Unbreakable Ruth’s Story
Stand your Ground
Hello people! Can't believe we're on the cusp of finishing the first month of 2021! Simply awesome! Thank you for stopping by to read this final post on spiritual warfare. After shedding light on the fact that we're not necessarily fighting against people (check last week's post) and exhorting us to put on the full … Continue reading Stand your Ground
Your Problem is not (necessarily) People
It was a Wednesday evening. I was sat at a friend's dinner table breaking the Bread of life and also scoffing down sweet treats (a girl can multi-task 🙂 ). The topic was spiritual warfare (definitely needed some cakes to lighten the load) and we came to this common verse in Ephesians 6:12. God knows … Continue reading Your Problem is not (necessarily) People
