Parenting With Purpose | Treating Girls The Right Way

Respect is not opening doors and saying “ladies first.” Respect is recognising that girls are not props, trophies, or background characters in your story.

SOP | Christ’s Object Lessons: Teaching In Parables

When Jesus chose to speak in parables, He wasn’t just using cute stories to make sermons easier to digest. He was both revealing and concealing at the same time. Parables draw in those hungry for truth while leaving the indifferent unmoved. That means the same story that softens one heart…

Parenting with Purpose | What If I Don’t Want To Get Married?

From childhood, many girls are told that marriage is their highest achievement. “One day, when you’re a wife…” becomes the background script, whether spoken outright or implied. But what if that’s not your calling? What if your story is one of singleness, or leadership, or service outside of a family…

Deep Dive | Approaching God As God: The Small God We Make

Most of us worship a God who looks suspiciously like ourselves — a slightly nicer, stronger, more patient version of us. But that’s not God. That’s an idol. The tragedy is that the God of the Bible is infinite, terrifying in holiness, and yet endlessly loving. When we shrink Him…

Manhood | Power in Vulnerability

We’ve been sold a broken script: that men must be stoic, unshaken, and armoured against weakness. Yet history, psychology, and Scripture all show the opposite — that the greatest men were those who knew how to be real. Jesus wept. David wrote songs of despair. Paul admitted fear and trembling…

Deep Dive | Cross-Cultural Ministry and Global Christianity: Global Christianity

Christianity is growing fastest in regions once considered mission fields—Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The centre of gravity has shifted, and with it, the voice of the global church.

Parenting With Purpose | Understanding Consent – Yes Means Yes, No Means No

Consent is not just a legal concept—it’s a moral and relational one. Teaching boys about consent means teaching them about respect, boundaries, and empathy. It’s about dismantling entitlement and building emotional intelligence. Today, we explore how boys can learn to honour others’ autonomy and develop a healthy understanding of mutual…

Deep Dive | Cross-Cultural Ministry and Global Christianity: The Gospel Beyond Borders

Christianity is not confined to geography, language, or ethnicity. From its earliest days, the gospel has crossed cultural boundaries—beginning in Jerusalem and spreading to the ends of the earth. But cross-cultural ministry is more than expansion; it’s about incarnation. It’s about entering into the lives, languages, and worldviews of others…

Manhood | Being A Man Of Your Word

In a world where promises are often broken and integrity is negotiable, being a man of your word is a radical act. It’s not just about honesty—it’s about character, consistency, and courage. A man’s word should be his bond, a reflection of his values and his relationship with God. Today,…
