• Church music
• Mission amongst urban-postmoderns
• Preaching
• New ‘dangerous’ ideas for the Western church

I’m an entrepreneurial church leader, communicator, and musician.   I seek to make the Christian faith relevant for inner-city people by leading teams that pioneer new forms of ministry, mission and worship. I am married with two sons.
