A straight-talking, heart-level piece for anyone burnt by religion or simply curious about Jesus. “Not this B.S. Religion Stuff Again!” (B.S. = Before-Spirit) calls out the posturing and the arguments while someone’s still hurting on the floor. It walks through real rooms and real lives—anxious nights, church foyers, late-night texts—and keeps coming back to the simple centre: love God with everything; love your neighbour as yourself. This isn’t a takedown; it’s a turning—from debates to doing, from performance to presence, from being right to being close. If you’ve rolled your eyes at church but still hope God might be kind, this is for you.

Saved and Besieged Ep 9 – Aim Before You Swipe
A frank, funny, heart-level guide for anyone who keeps loving hard and landing hard. It’s Complicated: God’s Design for Relationships in a Swipe-Right World opens with Aim Before You Swipe—a message for the exhausted and the hopeful: God called “alone” not good, culture keeps moving the goalposts, and you don’t need another almost—you need a steady target. We walk from Eden to your DMs: place, purpose, provision, identity, and boundaries before the person; why TikTok can’t be your therapist; and how letting God fill your life makes the lies float, not sink. If you’ve tried vibes, vision boards, and vanishing acts, this is the reset: let God set the aim, then love from fullness, not famine.
