The WalkThe Walk - Why I Returned to GlendaloughI’m writing this from a quiet mountain trail overlooking the Upper Lake of Glendalough. The same path Saint Kevin walked 1,500 years ago. And maybe, in some small way, I’m walking it too.
I came to Ireland not for a vacation, but for something I’ve needed for a long time: space. A chance to step out of the noise of everyday life and into the stillness that lets me hear again—really hear—what matters.
Why do we create, write, or tell stories when the world feels like it’s falling apart?

In this magical and deeply symbolic short story, “The Lion, the Bridge, and the Wardrobe,” I reimagine the first moments of Pope Leo XIV after his election. Inspired by C.S. Lewis, the papal name "Leo," and a mysterious door in the Vatican, this tale takes the new pope on a Narnian-style journey through a desolate Rome where bridges have vanished and only a lion remains.
Guided by the lion's wisdom, the pope must r...

Christchurch SermonsSonship“Christ became like us, so that we might become like him.” Sonship. It’s the reason behind it all. Why did God call Abraham, give his law, send his Son?

And it’s Paul’s theme as we return to Galatians 4: 1 - 20. Listen in as Lewis Roderick takes us to this rich passage.
