Hey everyone. I just want to apologise for being away for two months. You know, I started this community to really help and encourage people and to be encouraged myself. But I’ve just been so busy looking after my kids and building multiple businesses. Fortunately, one of those businesses has finally taken off and it’s doing okay, and the others are falling into place. I’m just relying on God for every need, and He has provided every step of the way. But yeah, I’m back now and I want to be speaking here as regularly as possible. I just want to encourage you with this. The church is an institution, an organisation, and there are plenty of good things about it. The church I grew up in gave me a reverence for God, a respect for the scriptures, and taught me to test every spirit as it is written. I’ve experienced a lot of love and a lot of good things. But it’s full of humans, and there are things that aren’t ideal. One of those things is that we tend to keep ministry within our local church building. Youth group, young adults, worship, Sunday school, morning tea, door welcome. These are all good things. But we need to understand that wherever we are is our ministry field. Wherever your two feet end up, you are called to minister there. And that doesn’t mean Bible bashing people. What I’ve witnessed, and what I used to do myself, is this: someone, whether an unbeliever or even a believer who’s struggling, will share where they’re at. And right away we jump in and fire a million Bible verses at them. It just doesn’t work. It never lands. Jesus met people where they were. He went to them. He loved them. He made them well, and then He called them into repentance. We ought not to strive to change behaviour. The behaviour changes because the heart changes. And the heart only changes when you love people the way Jesus loves them. So I want to encourage and challenge you with that. These are things that are challenging and encouraging for me too. Things I’ve been learning and will continue to learn.

I want to acknowledge this plainly: I’ve been quieter than I should have been here. That’s on me. This space exists for alignment, discipline, and steady obedience, not noise or hype. When presence drops, momentum fades. I don’t want that for this community, and I don’t want it for myself. So this is a reset. Scripture is clear about the kind of faith we’re aiming for: “Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9 The Quiet Way isn’t about intensity. It’s about faithfulness. Showing up when it’s inconvenient. Obedience in the unseen. Trusting that God works through consistency more than emotion. “Whoever is faithful in very little is also faithful in much.” — Luke 16:10 Here’s what I’d like you to do today: 1. Post one thing you’re being faithful with right now A habit, a discipline, a decision, or an area you’re surrendering to God. One sentence is enough. 2. Encourage one other person No fixing. No advice unless asked. Just edification. “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:11 3. Take one quiet act of obedience offline Prayer, Scripture, movement, journaling, preparation—something intentional. Then come back and comment “Done.” “Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10 I’m here again, engaged, accountable, and moving forward with you. Not perfectly. Faithfully. We walk the narrow path. Quietly Together

This Friday, I plan to post my first YouTube video. A very simple video. Stay tuned for that. I’ve just moved houses, so I haven’t been posting. I will resume posting tomorrow. Grace and Peace

I grew up in an Open Brethren church. I want to be clear about this. I’m genuinely grateful for that. It grounded me in Scripture, taught me to take the Bible seriously, and gave me a framework that I still carry. That matters to me. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve had to learn how to separate what the Bible actually says from what well-meaning Christians sometimes expect. Not because anyone was trying to be controlling. Not because the church was “bad”. But because human systems naturally form expectations that Scripture itself doesn’t always place on people. The Bible is very clear about some things. Salvation is rooted in grace, not performance. “For by grace you have been saved through faith… not by works.” (Ephesians 2:8–9) But human expectations often creep in where faith becomes about consistency, visibility, and momentum. Scripture talks about growth very differently. “Only God gives the growth.” (1 Corinthians 3:7) There are seasons where nothing looks impressive on the outside, and yet something real is happening underneath. Rest isn’t framed as failure in Scripture. “Come to Me, all who are weary.” (Matthew 11:28) “There remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God.” (Hebrews 4:9) Struggle isn’t treated as disobedience. “A bruised reed He will not break.” (Isaiah 42:3) And faithfulness isn’t always loud or busy. “Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10) What I’ve had to unlearn is the idea that: if you’re quiet, tired, or unsure, you must be doing something wrong. Scripture doesn’t support that. Learning to lay down human expectations hasn’t made my faith weaker. It’s made it steadier. Slower. More honest. That’s the space The Quiet Way exists in. Not rejecting Scripture. Not rebelling against the church. But letting the Bible speak more clearly than the noise around it. If you disagree with something I’ve said or believe I’ve taken scripture out of context, I urge you to message me, as these things are very important to me.

I want this space to be one of honesty, so I’ll lead by example. I’ve missed posting here for a couple of days, and I want to acknowledge that. I needed a pause. Time to breathe. Lately, I’ve been feeling the weight of rejection. This community I’m trying to build has often been met with skepticism, and that hurts, especially when I’m clear about why I’m doing this. My desire is to serve God by serving others through my gifts, abilities, and my story. We’re often taught to be good stewards of our money, but what about our gifts, our time, and what we’ve been shaped to carry? I’d encourage you to read Matthew 25 with that lens. I’m learning to become a better steward in all of these areas. Over time, I’ve honed my gifts, talents, and abilities to a point where I genuinely believe they have value. I believe I have something meaningful to offer people. Right now, I’m learning how to deliver that value well, with integrity, clarity, and care. As part of that, I’ll also be creating Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube accounts for this community. Not for noise or performance, but to make this space more accessible and to reach those who might need it and haven’t found it yet. Thank you for being here while I figure this out in real time. Grace and peace
