Your Kingdom Come
On earth as it is is heaven
This website is about equipping you with help and hope in the footsteps of Jesus, today.
Luxburrow
Married to Laura. 3 children on-the-go.
For over 20 years I’ve been married to Laura, a grace-abounding kind of person. We have three children who are brightly on-the-go. We live at Luxburrow, a heartbeat from the Celestial City and nestled within the trees planted by streams of water.
Pastor
Westminster Church
I’m ordained as a pastor in the Reformed Protestant tradition and have pastored Westminster Church in Barrie, Canada since 2008. I strive to help people follow Jesus in practical ways day-by-day. This happens through teaching, preaching, leading and shepherding. See the resources tab.
Podcaster & Author
Devotional, Podcast, Books
I’ve published over 40 articles, won awards for writing and online ministry, and have a passion for exemplifying and teaching daily discipleship in our modern, frantic world. The Pulse Podcast includes interviews, feature talks and expository sermons. The Up Devotional is released 5 days a week. My latest book is called Turbulence. (A Book Page is coming soon.)
Rowboat
I loathe my phone, but still use it.
One day I hope to own a rowboat. The world unceasingly barks like a mad dog. Thankfully, there are other options about how to live our lives.

A LAST WORD
Matthew 10:16
I’ve recently become acquainted with the motto of the Carthusian Order: “The cross is steady while the world turns.” Ah, yes.
I live in the psalms. The more you get into God’s Word, the more God’s Word gets into you. In my free time I enjoy talking with Bernard of Clairvaux and Thomas More about best practices. The Puritans (the physicians of whole-heartedness) are never far away. I write songs about grace and truth, when I can. I cheer for the Blue Jays and Maple Leafs. My dog Buddy (a cockapoo) takes me for walks.
Are the angels ever not singing to us?
