I was reminded of something recently. Something that I once believed to be true. Something that I loved to do and dreamed of doing constantly. Something that all my energies and creativity went into. But something I let slip. Something I let go and become second. Something that I forgot the power of. But I … More The Art of the Spoken Word
I talk to people everyday who see God as nothing more than an old tradition that holds no value in their lives anymore. They see God as a nice fairytale to believe in, but not someone worth trusting in. They believe that God has no real value in their life. The problem that I’m seeing … More An Old World God
We seem to live in a generation that is once again taking hold of the idea of having a creative mind. I know living in New Zealand, this society wants all people, especially the young, to learn to think for themselves and to see that nothing is impossible with a little imagination.

If Jesus’ political message was about a kingdom that will rule forever, then his message to the Jews was about a kingdom … More Spiritual Vertigo: Jesus vs. Jew
Growing up I heard a lot of people talk about the separation between “Church & State”. Naturally hearing this all the time I later in my life assumed that they got this idea from the Bible. I assumed that Jesus never dealt with politics in his ministry (“Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and give … More Spiritual Vertigo: Jesus vs. Empire
Is it just me or are we living in an age of remakes? It seems like everything is just a remake of something else. We are remaking songs (and call it original because we change the tune). We are remaking movies (and just say we are updating the story or the effects). What happened to … More Age of Unoriginality
This is an old blog series I wrote about a year ago, but I feel it is still very relevant. So, for the next 4 weeks I will post one of the Spiritual Vertigo blogs on Tuesday (NZ time)/Monday (US time). Have you ever had one of those moments where, something happens that shakes the … More Spiritual Vertigo
