I can hardly remember the last time I actually stood in front of a gathering to preach. This past Sunday I had the honor of sharing with our local church on Ecclesiastes 9:1-6
In my own ability I know I am not worthy, and so it was very humbling and I am ever grateful for the support and encouragement received. There is lots of refining to be done, and I place my hope and trust in the Holy Spirit. If you have a little time to spare, please do feel free to watch along:

I created this space as a welcoming home for candid life discussions, faith, and purposeful community. My journey has been anything but conventional—from navigating childhood moves to Europe, spending 40 years in the printing industry, and living across two vastly different worlds in Zimbabwe and the United States, God has spent decades quietly forming my heart before officially calling me into pastoral ministry. Recently ordained and commissioned as a pastor, I write from a place of real, lived experience, openly sharing the highs of deep faith alongside the raw seasons of depression, doubt, and navigating life’s unexpected detours. Since establishing this journal back in 2005, my mission remains simple: to listen without judgment, share honest testimonies, and encourage you to slow down, press pause, and discover how to shine brightly for Jesus in our everyday lives.
