Servant Leadership and Teams

One topic that Iā€™ve been reflecting upon recently is the whole concept of ā€œservant leadershipā€. It is a word that is thrown around Christian leadership circles, though the actual outplay and practice of ā€œservant leadershipā€ differs from place to place. As I thought about this concept in my ministry…

Boasting in my weaknessā€¦

Recently, I was listening to a sermon taken from 2 Corinthians 12:1-10. It was quite an appropriate sermon in this moment of my life. As I face uncertain decisions, an unclear future, and unknown days ahead, the words of Christ speak loud, ā€œMy grace is sufficient for you, for…

A love story...

Before you all excited, itā€™s not what you think. Itā€™s got nothing to do with meā€¦sorry. Maybe except that I was a privileged recipient of this story. During my time here in Toowoomba, Iā€™ve been honoured to meet many who have walked lifeā€™s journey for…
