I’ve been really interested in the reactions to some online videos lately, most noteably the KONY2012 phenomenon. What interests me is that this video has now been touted as the most viral video of all time; not a video of a cat being forced to play the piano, not a video of a celebrity flashing [...]

An Interview (part 2)
I had Cheryl Ramurath contact me from Joburg recently, and after reading the book she asked to interview me with the view to seeing it published somewhere in the near future. In the meantime I thought I would post it here for those of you who are interested. It’s a bit long so I’m posting [...]

The Right to be Happy
I was on Skype with a friend of mine the other night and we were talking about the ups and downs of life, and how it seems it is often full of tragedy and heart ache. No one tells us this. Parents protect us from the harsh side of life. School points us at the [...]
Luxury Problems
One of my pet peeves is listening to rich, privileged people complain about their ‘difficult’ lives. I’m talking about people who take 3 or 4 overseas holidays a year complaining about how tired they are, and how they never get a break, when most of the world could never even dream of the luxury of [...]
Offense and Shadows
In the last few years I have had to come to terms with the fact that I am a very angry person. I may not be prone to visible outbursts, but it doesn’t take much to make my blood quietly creep up to boiling point. I often find myself letting loose an internal tirade of [...]
Closing the Gap
This week someone pointed me to an interesting book written by Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett called ‘The Spirit Level’. The title isn’t actually a pun, but has a more literal meaning as the content of the book documents the study conducted by the authors looking at statistics from around the world to see if [...]
Containers and Soldiers
I want to let you into a bit of a struggle I have, and I hope it speaks to those of you who are seeking to be some kind of prophetic voice in your own context. If you’ve read the welcome page on this site you’ll know that I believe my role is to speak [...]
Being Human
I like human beings. I think we’re pretty amazing. It may sound like a weird thing to say but we seem to live in a world where we paint ourselves as the bad guys. Being a documentary fan I watch my fair share, and it’s very rare that you get to the end of a [...]
Wide Angle
I was recently shooting a video up in Kwa-Zulu Natal and my good friend Stu offered to take me to the airport after all the footage was ‘in the can’. During the hour it took to make it to the airport we got chatting about church (no surprise there), but at one point Stu asked [...]
