Welcome!

Dear Friends, Welcome. ​This space exists for one reason: ​love — ​the love of God poured out in Jesus Christ, ​the love we are called to extend ​to one another, ​and to the world. ​There are many voices clamouring for our attention. Here, you will find the rhythm of one heart seeking to follow the way of Love. My ministry does not happen behind heavy church doors or within rigid institutional walls. It happens in the quiet, ordinary spaces of life where we learn to walk together at an unhurried pace. This is a faith rooted not in tradition for its own sake, but in the living, active, self-giving love at the heart of the Gospel. ​Three truths have become my anchors: ​The Living Word Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh. Apart from Him, the true God cannot be fully known. In Jesus, we see the face of a God who is Love, and whose Gospel is the path of Peace. ​The Gift of Grace I believe salvation is found by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Grace is a t...

Reformation Sunday: Saved by Grace, Sent to Do Good

Dear Friends, ​The Reformation did not start with a hammer hitting a door in 1517. It started quietly. ​Long ago, Waldo gave away his wealth to put the Gospels into simple language. Francis chose poverty and peace. Wycliffe translated the Bible for ordinary people.  Men tried to silence them, but truth cannot be stopped. ​ By Scripture Alone. The Bible belongs to everyone.  William Tyndale promised that a simple farm worker would know the Scriptures better than the scholars. He was burned at the stake in 1536 for translating the New Testament into English. ​ By Faith Alone: Faith is trusting God, not performing for Him. ​ Through Christ Alone: Jesus is our only mediator. ​ For God's Glory Alone: Everything is for God's honor, never ours. ​ By Grace Alone: This is the beating heart of it all. ​You are saved by grace through faith. It is a gift from God (Ephesians 2:8–10). You cannot earn it, buy it, or pray your way into it. It is free to us, but ...

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow... (Matthew 6:28) ​I have always loved nature. It is my happy place. Just as ecosystems thrive with a variety of animal and plant life, so too does the human ecosystem thrive with different brain types. We can learn much from this, and from the views of Indigenous cultures. The purely medical view may have its place and may help some, but this deeper view is frankly beautiful—  just like nature itself. In Māori, autism is called Takiwātanga—moving in one's own natural rhythm and time.   ​In Aboriginal culture, it is Dadirri—deep, inner listening to the land and spirit.   ​The Navajo have the term Hózhó—a unique thread in the natural harmony of the universe.   ​In biblical and spiritual reflections, patterns of seeing shells or leaves mirror the recognition of the logic of the Creator. ​Through a high sensitivity to wind, light, and sound, a quiet soul remains receptive to the still, small voice. ...
