When I was 7 my Dad took his life. Depression is a thief. It robbed me of a father & it robbed him of a future. Much love to all who’ve been caught up in a similar story. And for any fighting depression, you can win this war & don’t have to battle alone. #suicidepreventionweek

I sang along to a popular worship song this week which referred to ‘me, myself and I’ twenty eight times - but mentioned God just twice. I’m challenging myself on this as a songwriter, as much as anyone else - but I’m not sure that’s a helpful ratio?! 😉

Part of the songwriting process is just being attentive. Attentive to God, attentive to life, attentive to scripture, attentive to the news, attentive to the needs of others, attentive to your own heart, etc etc. Writing meaningful songs starts with us simply paying attention.

In worship leading, too much rigidity can start to look like ritual, rather than relationship. Be open, be listening, be flexible. Have a framework, but make sure you let the Flame work. 🔥

I’ll always be grateful for that day in London where, aged 10, I heard Luis Palau preach the good news of a loving Saviour and a perfect Father. I’m just one of the many, many who found Christ after hearing him preach. Thank you Jesus for Luis. Rest in peace, rise in glory. 🙏🏻
