Tis the season to think about seasons
This time around Pete finds himself deep in thought about how there is a season for everything and how God's timing and our timing are often very different things. Do we listen and follow God's timing or do we try and plough ahead in our own time? How does that work out for us?
A spring Rambling
Some rambling thoughts on skipping church to appreciate the world around us. It's important to step away occasionally to remind ourselves of the beauty that surrounds us.
Episode 5, New Year resolutions
A ramble and a rant about the danger of nebulous resolutions and how they damage our mental health. And how January is a lousy time to try and change a lot of things.
Ramblings on death, endings and mourning
This week I talk about the loss of our chicken, Blueberry, my father and the potential end of some churches with an aging congregation. It's good stuff and I have a face for podcasting so give it a listen and, if you like it, tell your friends,
Ramblings on putting ourselves where God wants us
This time round I'm rambling about how we invite God to join us but he's actually always there ahead of us. Also about how we need to position ourselves to be where we are needed.
Ramblings on how we use the Bible
A genuine ramble this second time around. Upset by the lack of knowledge of the church and the use of scripture to berate groups and individuals, I ramble on trying to gather my thoughts on the subject. Apologies if it gets a little incoherent at times. If you like what you hear, or disagree with it, but want to see or hear more I'm all over social media.

Ramblings on retreating to advance
This first episode features me rambling on the importance of stepping away from what you're doing in terms of mission and service to be able to look at it properly and decide if you should continue or do something new.
