A couple of weeks ago, out of the blue, I had three podcast interviews within days. One in Australia, another in Canada, and finally in the US. Two of the interviews cover concepts of a book/manifesto I am drafting around ageing, maturity and something I call...
From 2013 to 2017, Natalie and I created six spoken word, prayer and blessing albums. The albums have made a difference in thousands of lives around the world. We thought, at this hour, with many people stuck at home, some of you might appreciated them....
Hey, dads! Playing frequently with your young kids matters all the way to the classroom. Some recent research by Meuwissen and Carlson in the Journal of Family Psychology [1] underlines the importance of fathers playing with their pre-school children.  Again, dads,...
I’m not sure what your child’s tantrum trigger is. Perhaps it’s a NO to your toddler’s request to watch Frozen for the 100th time just before bedtime. Maybe it’s a NO to your 8-year-olds request for lollies at the grocery store, again. It could be the 3rd NO to...
This 30 minute audio prayer was especially developed for children battling with anxiety and fear. Since recording and releasing the prayer, adults and children alike have sent in stories and testimonies from all over the world of healing and relief from fear, stress,...

Can you see it coming? It’s Boxing Day morning. Tired, cranky and ungrateful kids emerge from bedrooms with half-baked annoyed looks on their faces resembling the hangover some parents may be carrying. They are most likely suffering from D.A.G.S. = Day After Gifts...
Being a dad is tough. I considered opening by stating that being a dad in the 21st century is tough. But I don’t think it’s ever been easy. Not everyone reading this will be a father, but we all have one right? Aside from medical or relational reasons,...
Sometimes you start studying into a topic that you feel could be quite important only to find it’s exceedingly more significant than you first thought. Perhaps it’s a little looking through the archive chest of a deceased distant relative, only to find an...
I recently watched the ABSENT Movie. If you haven’t seen it, I recommend you do. It outlines the epidemic of fatherless generations and it’s’ effect on society. Some of my favourite authors and thinkers appear in the doco including Richard Rohr and...
