  • What’s next for Colour Conference as Bobbie Houston forced out of Hillsong?

    It’s the world’s most popular women’s conference run by the world’s most recognized church, but what will the future be for the Colour Conference as Bobbie Houston has been removed employment at Hillsong? The co-founder of the Australian-based megachurch was sensationally released yesterday via text message, which now sees both Hillsong founders out of the […]

  • If God will lead, then I will follow…

    “If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away.  It is better for you to lose part of your body and live forever than to have two hands and two feet and be thrown into the fire that burns forever.”  Matthew 18:8 Here lately I have been […]

  • And you think you’re having a bad day…

    Last week, I was having an early morning surf before work. I was sitting out the back waiting for a wave and just quietly praying about the day ahead. My mind was full of all the things I had to do, including the opportunities and challenges in front of me, which is all part of […]

  • How to turn your your ‘disadvantage’ into your strength

We bonded over our love of animals, landscaping our yards and fried chicken […]

  • It Never Rains In So-Cal, But Across the Border it Pours

    Back in the seventies, Albert Hammond got it right when he sang, “It never rains in Southern California”. He added that when it does, it pours. And pour it has—for months. In fact, Los Angeles received more rain in the first 45 days of 2019 than in the entire year of 2018. And it is […]

  • Why we can never be ashamed of flipping burgers

    I read with interest over the weekend about a senior executive at Muffin Break in Australia and the struggles they are having in getting young people walking off the street to apply for work. As she states, prior to Instagram, young people were eager for employment, but in the search for a large Insta following, […]
