At my house, when the cupboards are empty it’s a bad thing. It doesn’t take long before the children start asking when I am going to do the next food shop. When my car flashes up with the orange empty sign, it’s a bad thing. When my phone battery has 1% and as I’m fumbling […]
The Easter weekend is the most important point in history. Each year we celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus. This moment in history changed the possibilities for all humanity. It gave all of us the opportunity to have the relationship with God that He has always wanted for us, and with us. To understand […]
In 1999 I stood by the Millennium wheel in London at 23:59 with my girlfriend and the masses around us; I stood, ready for the world to end. The Millennium bug was just seconds away and I was poised to watch it all come tumbling down. What happened was at 12:01am, like many others, I […]
You are not alone Humanity has searched to answer the question, is there life out there somewhere? This question throws us into the very depths of space and its mind-bending size and reach, and year after year the answer is, no.

In this week’s blog we are thinking about putting the welfare of others before our own. This is something that I, personally, think we are beginning to lose in wider society. Maybe we have been losing it for a long time. This has all sorts of implications, and it is not just relevant to men, […]
Men share most in the context of activity! I am more convinced of this now than I have ever been. I think this is because it just feels so awkward talking about the deeper stuff with other men in a circle, or even face to face in a one-on-one situation. But when we go out […]
A while back I was asked to speak at a church I had never been to before. I think they had been told about CVM Cymru and that I was a good person to fill a ‘pulpit’ slot that would have otherwise been difficult to fill. Now don’t get me wrong, I love the opportunity […]
One of the things that I love most about hanging out with men is that we can generally sniff out a fake a mile off. We have all had that mate who is full of it, the minute he opens his mouth we can instantly tell that he is trying to big himself up and […]
In June of this year, we were back! The Gathering happened! Around 1500 men were in ‘a field near Swindon’ and I would say the Spirit of God hovered over that place for the entire weekend. Without any shadow of a doubt, the power of the Gospel was palpable. Whilst we were setting up the […]
