Someone once told me "Kids don't care about how much you know, until they know how much you care!" On today’s episode, I have a chat with an incredible young 'caring' woman named Petra, who felt the call to travel from the cold snowy mountains of the South Island of New Zealand to the vast, rugged, very hot, desert-wilderness known as the Kimberley Region, situated in the far north of Western Australia. There she met some k...

Oh, The EVES ... Christmas Eve, New Years Eve... What does EVE even mean? Hint: Let’s just ‘breathe,’ amidst all the “What’s!” “What if I’ve got it wrong?” What if so-and-so doesn’t like their present?” “What if that person rocks up at the family gathering?” “What are we actually responsible for?” “What are we actually in control of?&r...

In this episode I have gathered a collection of songs to bring some pre-Christmas Peace, Hope and Love to your heart. The kind of peace that’s unspeakable, that brings stillness and quietness even if you're in the middle of a raging life storm? The kind of peace that keeps you afloat when you feel like you're drowning, with heavy weights gripping at your ankles and you're like “Yep, this situation is certainly tryin&r...

I had a few convos recently and interesting questions came firing ... “When I die, if I want to go to hell and have beers with my mates, what concern is that of yours?” “If I have my truth and you have your truth, can’t we just be cool with that?” And ofc the ultimate, “Where is God?” “Is there a Case for Christ” is NOT a question about religion. Religion in my opinion is some...

Ever lost something valuable? I have. An apple watch given to me for my birthday, air pods that were a Christmas present, a diamond cross necklace - also a gift, even a wedding ring, not once but twice! (I now have a wedding ring tattoo!) I have also lost three different cats, (and an expensive cat tracker!) and even a valuable friend. Did I ever find any of these things? Yes! All of them. How? I had help! Do you feel lost? Lost ...

Staying in my lane implies that I have my own one, right? A personal lane? Designed, especially for me? Well, what is it? How do I find it? Where does it lead? Is this lane clear? Or, are there hurdles involved? Will there be other surprise obstacles? If so, what are they? And how do I overcome them? Or, remove them? What if they are too big to get over or too hard to get out of my way? Is there help available? Maybe a hand? And if...

Charlie Kirk, Did I know You? I know this much. I remember the day Princess Di died and man, I cried a lot! Watching Michael Jackson's funeral brought me to a sobbing mess as well and I wailed at the back of a cinema during the Fast and furious 7 movie, as the final scene came on, as a tribute to Paul Walker! As for Charlie Kirk, when I read that he had been killed, I felt like I went into shock - a state of sheer disbelief. It w...

What good is encouragement? Seriously, what words do? Can they cause a poor Filipino boy, the youngest of eight siblings, with one grieved and penniless parent, struggling to provide for him, to follow his dreams, from dire to doctor? Let me ask a different question. Have you ever seen those moving videos of ‘Sponsor Mum's’ meeting up for the first time with their now grown-up ‘Sponsor child,’ from that th...

Have you ever heard of a day coming, when people will be separated into two groups known as the sheep or the goats? I’m convinced, there will be such a day and I know what side I want to be on, but it will all depend on my generosity. Generosity is an interesting thing and I believe it has its rewards. In this episode, I share of a kind, kiwi man who just died the other day and I believe he would have been overwhelmed by th...

Do you have a broken history? What if I told you that you can let it be dead and buried and as it decomposes, it can push up some beautiful roses! (That’s a paraphrased line I stole from Switchfoot’s front man by the way but I love it.) Speaking of history, do you sometimes feel that you had to grow up too fast or that you forgot somewhere along the line what it felt like to just be childlike and carefree and have fun...
