Bio
With the benefit of a background in art, I have always loved painting pictures with words, whether my task is bringing a biblical passage to life in a sermon or explaining a truth about God in a book. Having found my way into theological academia, I now take delight in taking the riches of cutting edge research and thought and making these accessible to normal people!
​
My great love is preaching and teaching in my home church: the Eagle's Nest Church in Nottingham, which is a part of the Assemblies of God denomination.
