  • Diplomatic Immunity part two

    On only one occasion Paul uses the term AMBASSADOR to describe the nature of his calling.

    I believe that this metaphor  more than any other he used gives us rare insight into how Paul was able to persevere in the face of so much personal suffering.

    All ambassadors have something called DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY. This immunity is only possible because ambassadors live in one place but are resourced from another.

    We are Ambassadors of heaven but we have not understood or enjoyed our diplomatic immunity. If there was ever a time to grasp this concept it’s now!

  • Servant Leadership

    I’m thrilled to be releasing my new SERVANT LEADERSHIP video series.

    I’ve never known a time at both the macro global level and the micro daily customer service level where an issue has ever been more pervasive.
    We are experiencing a global revolution against all forms of non servant leadership and i for one am happy to be a part of it.
    We are sick and tired of a world that for generations has kept promoting people into leadership roles who were never servants in the first place.
    You can bolt leadership onto servanthood later, but you can’t bolt servanthood onto leadership later.


    We want to be led by people who lead as they would want to be led, and serve as they’d want to be served.
    This video series has been a huge labour of love and it is my contribution to this massive human need that we all have of feeling appreciated and served by those who lead us.

  • Finding Your Peloton part 2

    Peloton is a cycling term that describes the main group of riders who’s role is to escort, chaperone and bodyguard their principle rider to victory.

    The PELOTON exists to surround the sprinter so that their bodies absorb the wind and reduce the drag on him. They conserve his energy at the expense of their own until the final seconds when he breaks for the finish line.

    These people may not just be friends, staff or colleagues, they are strategic alliances committed to your success.

    Every human needs a PELOTON we all need people physically and/or virtually who are our squad our platoon ushering us towards a winning life.

    David had Jonathan and his mighty men.

    Jonathan had his armour bearer.

    Jesus had his apostles and Mary & Martha.

    Paul had Timothy, Silas and his apostolic team.

    WHO’S YOURS? … where are the people who’ve being sent to help you win?

  • Wisdom - Hidden Seasons

    Hidden seasons are those times in your life where you can feel isolated and even invisible to others who used to notice you. Hidden seasons are times when God "hides" you as it were in order for you to press RESET on your life to prepare you for your next season.

    These seasons are terrifying and not done well by most of us and so it's important for me to give you my take on them.  Jesus spent 30 years hidden in plane site as preparation for just 3 years of public profile. His brilliant but short life was the result of decades spent in strategic hiding and inner development. 

    Maybe you're in a hidden season and if so there's three things I want you to know and understand in this video called hidden seasons.

  • Love is not a gift, it's a baton

    LOVE IS NOT A GIFT IT’S A BATON…based on the parable of the unmerciful servant who received mercy but didn’t pass it on … once batons become owned love stops flowing…we are carriers of the baton of love, grace, mercy and forgiveness not keepers… church history has been the erratic story of a church that’s either passed the baton on or kept and warehoused it.

    Nobody owns the baton

    Batons can’t be handled twice

    Batons can’t be dropped

    Batons are passed in motion

    Batons must be passed in a zone.. delayed passing like delayed love is a fail.

    Selective love

    Controlling love

    Conditional love

    Protected love

    Manipulative love

    Coercive love … are not valid batons.

    WE ARE SERVANTS OF THE BATON and few things make God as angry as when people who’ve received his love, mercy, grace and forgiveness…don’t pass it on.
