01116 - Climb Every Mountain
Life comes with mountains—some expected, others overwhelming. They may take the form of challenges, responsibilities, or dreams that feel out of reach. But mountains aren’t there to stop us; they’re there to be climbed. The psalmist declares, “I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” (Psalm 121:1–2, NIV). Our God is not intimidated by altitude. He climbs with us. Every step may be steep, but
01115 - It’s OK To Cry
Tears are not a sign of weakness—they’re often a sacred sign of strength. In a world that prizes stoicism, the Bible reminds us that even Jesus wept. Crying is human. It’s healing. And it’s holy. “You yourself have recorded my wanderings. Put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book?” (Psalm 56:8, CSV). God does not waste a single tear. He sees them. He collects them. He understands them. We don’t need to hold it all together. Grief, stress, even joy can overwhelm t
Ordination
I never thought I would be writing this blog. At the beginning of 2024, I felt God speak to my heart 'You need to be accredited for the journey ahead'. Ordination has been a possibility several times over the years, but because I have been working across the whole Church, I never felt aligned with just one aspect of it. Shortly after receiving an honorary doctorate from Kennedy University of Baptist, I travelled to South Africa, where I received ordination from a very close f
01114 - How Great Thou Art
There are songs that echo through generations, and “How Great Thou Art” is one of them. Inspired by creation’s majesty and redemption’s beauty, written by Carl Boberg, the hymn calls us to lift our eyes from the everyday and behold the grandeur of God. The psalmist echoes this: “The heavens are telling the glory of God; they are a marvellous display of his craftsmanship.” (Psalm 19:1, TLB). When you stop and look—really look—you’ll see God’s fingerprints everywhere. The thund
01113 - Praise The Lord
Praise is not just for the good days—it’s for every day. Psalm 150 is a symphony of worship, calling us to lift our voices, instruments, and very breath in honour of the Lord. “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!” (Psalm 150:6, NASB). This isn’t a suggestion—it’s a lifestyle. Praise realigns our hearts, reminding us of who God is, even when circumstances shift. The psalmist urges us to praise God in His sanctuary, in His mighty heavens, with sound
01112 - Abide
To abide in Christ is more than a poetic phrase—it is a life posture. It’s not simply visiting His presence when needed but dwelling there continually. Jesus said, “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself… neither can you, unless you abide in me.” (John 15:4, ESV). This abiding isn’t effort-driven; it’s relationship-driven. It’s a daily returning to the Vine who gives life, strength, and purpose. In a culture obsessed with results and productivity
01111 - Be True To Yourself
There’s great strength in simply being the person God created you to be. Yet many people live behind masks—shaped by culture, pressured by opinion, or bound by fear. But authenticity honours God. He didn’t make you to be a copy; He formed you to be a unique reflection of His glory. “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works…” (Ephesians 2:10, NIV). You were not born to perform—you were born to be transformed. Being true to yourself doesn’t mean foll
01110 - My Peace I Give To You
In a world so often marked by noise, anxiety, and activity, the words of Jesus still echo with power: “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:27, NKJV). This is not a fragile or fleeting peace. It is a holy calm that stands firm in the face of storms. God’s peace is not dependent on our circumstances. It flows from His presence. When our minds are fixed on Him
01109 - Ageing
Ageing is not a decline but a divine design. As the seasons of life change, so does the beauty within us. Grey hair and slowed steps may come, but so do wisdom, reflection, and spiritual depth. The Bible reminds us, “Even when you are old, I will be the same. Even when your hair has turned gray, I will take care of you” (Isaiah 46:4, NCV). God’s care does not diminish with age—it increases in intimacy. In our youth, we pursue strength. In our later years, we might pursue infl
01108 - Do You Pray Into God's Vision For Your Life?
God’s vision for your life is far greater than your own plans. Yet too often, we live by default rather than design—neglecting to seek His divine blueprint. Vision without prayer is imagination, but vision birthed in prayer becomes revelation. Scripture reminds us, “Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established” (Proverbs 16:3, ESV). True success begins not with ambition, but with surrender. In prayer, we align our hearts with heaven. We gain clarity, wisdo
Honorary PhD
Not bad from a boy from the Welsh Valleys with little academic achievement. When I consider everything that has happened in my life, it's been so far an incredible adventure, powered by God. I had no idea when I left school that I might be travelling to 50 countries, 300+ trips. Meeting so many people and cultures. That I would hold a directorship at the UK's largest Christian broadcaster. That I would raise and spend (£200 million+) so much money across so many projects in t
01107 - The World Needs Fathers
In a world brimming with noise, distraction, and fractured identity, the quiet strength of a father is a gift too often overlooked. A father doesn’t just provide—he anchors, he guides, and he blesses with presence. The joy of being a father, will never be truly replaced. Whether biological or spiritual, fatherhood is a calling that reflects the very heart of God. “You’re my son, chosen and marked by my love, pride of my life” (Mark 1:11, MSG). These were the words the Father
01106 - Books Of The Bible - Isaiah
The book of Isaiah is like a lighthouse on a stormy coast—bold, bright and unshaken. Written during times of national unrest and spiritual drift, Isaiah cuts through noise with clarity and comfort. The words are prophetic declarations of hope, restoration, and faith. Isaiah 40:31 (AMP) reminds us, “But those who wait for the Lord... will gain new strength and renew their power.” Isaiah teaches us that faith is not passive. It’s a choice to trust God when everything else crumb
01105 - Days Of Awe
There are moments in life that hush the noise—times of encounter when we’re awestruck by the majesty of God. The Jewish tradition speaks of the "Days of Awe" between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur as a time of reflection, repentance and reverence. As Christians, we, too, need such moments—pauses in the calendar where we fall to our knees and remember who He is. Awe is not fear as the world defines it. It’s a reverent, soul-deep realisation of God's holiness and mercy. Psalm 33:
01104 - Give The Glory Back To God
In a world that praises individual achievement, it’s easy to forget the One from whom all blessings flow. Whether we win a medal, receive a promotion, or succeed in ministry, the temptation is to bask in our own glory. Yet, Scripture reminds us that we are stewards, we are not actually the ones in charge! Every talent, open door, and answered prayer is a direct gift from God. When King David danced before the Lord, he wasn’t showcasing himself; he was returning the glory to G
01103 - Sorrow
Sorrow visits everyone at some point in life—through loss, disappointment, or seasons of silence. Yet, Scripture reminds us that sorrow is not the end of the story. “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” (Psalm 30:5b, NKJV). This offers not only hope, but a heavenly timeline—one in which sorrow has an expiry date, and joy is on its way. God does not waste our sorrow. He meets us in it, shapes us through it, and carries us beyond it. We are not abandon
01102 - Tides
Just as the tides rise and fall with faithful rhythm because of the moons gravity, so too do the seasons of life. Some moments surge with joy and momentum; others recede into stillness and struggle. Yet, through every ebb and flow, God remains our steadfast anchor. “You rule over the surging sea; when its waves mount up, you still them.” (Psalm 89:9, NIV). He is not surprised by the storms or the still waters—they are all under His sovereign hand. Our confidence doesn’t come
01101 - I Stand At The Door And Knock
There’s a profound intimacy in these words: “Look! I have been standing at the door, and I am constantly knocking. If anyone hears me calling him and opens the door, I will come in and fellowship with him and he with me.” (Revelation 3:20, TLB). The promise of this verse reveals the gentle persistence of Christ—He doesn’t barge in, He knocks. The Creator of the universe patiently waits for our invitation to come in. So often, our lives become crowded with noise, distraction,
01100 - Situation Verses Destination
Sometimes we mistake our situation for our destination. Life may currently feel like a wilderness—dry, uncertain, even discouraging. But God never meant for the valley to be your final destination. As Psalm 84:5 says, “Happy are those whose strength comes from the Lord, who want to travel to Jerusalem.” (NCV). This verse speaks of joy not in the arrival, but in the journey, because the direction is set by God Himself. The journey of life is precious. Your reality is not your
01099 - Foundations
In a world of shifting values and moral uncertainty, we are often left asking: “What can the righteous do?” Psalm 11:3 poses this very question: “If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (NASB). The answer lies in the verses that follow: “The Lord is in His holy temple.” In times of instability, God remains immovable. Focus on that for yourself. Foundations of faith are not laid in comfort, but in trust—through trials, truth, and perseverance. We are call
