One day at a worship festival, God gave me a vision of a leader asking an older teen if they would like to come help lead (something). As she stood there, knees shaking, she replied “Who me? A leader!” Then God said to me, “Patience, I want you to help them.”

Who I am in Christ
So who am I in Christ? It's perhaps a question we don't often consciously ask ourselves. But if we knew our true identity in Christ, we would live differently. How we look, value, and treat ourselves or others or even God stems from what we believe about ourselves and God. You may know I've started using Social Media a whole lot more. So I can share my thoughts with more people (who've not found this website yet). But also to use a different medium than just written text. This whole them of identity - who we are in Christ is one that I've been pondering for quite some time. It will be a chapter in my book. But it's also a subject I'm exploring with some leadership students soon too. I've had a resource sheet for quite some time, but I wanted to polish it, and translate it into French,

The Bible Project new App
Tim Mackie and Jon Collins, with their ever-growing fantastically creatively gifted team, continue to bless us with more excellent resources. Therefore I can now highly recommend The Bible Project’s new App.
At the start of this year, they launched The Bible Project App. And with it a modern way of reading the bible using the original structure.

Who me? a leader!
God sometimes surprises us when He chooses to speak about something big. While at a big worship event in Scotland, enjoying worshipping with some of my worship leader hero’s when suddenly I saw a young woman standing in front of me. (She wasn’t literally in
