About Me:

I spent my early years church planting in Cape Town, South Africa—a place of immense beauty, brokenness, and spiritual hunger. It was in this context that my calling as both a preacher and a thinker began to take shape. Today, I serve as a member of the faculty at TheosSeminary, contribute to the work of TheosU, and am currently pursuing a Master’s in Theology, building on a Bachelor’s degree in Theology.

But my journey didn’t start there. I was raised in a Christian household, deeply immersed in the life of the Church. Like many, I experienced a period of deconstruction and doubt—leaving the faith behind in my teenage years. It was during my second year as a Psychology student, caught in the middle of personal brokenness, that I had an encounter with God that changed everything. I heard Him speak one word over me: loved. And that’s when I came home.

Since then, everything I do has flowed from that love. I began serving the Church in 2022, and what began as simple obedience quickly became a fire. I preach, write, teach, and create—not just because I enjoy theology, but because I believe it has the power to form us, restore us, and lead us into deeper communion with God.

I hold a deep reverence for historic Christian orthodoxy—the creeds, the early Church Fathers, the liturgies—and yet I believe firmly in the active presence of the Holy Spirit to guide, speak, and empower the Church today.

I believe in the weight of Scripture and the power it has to speak truth into a fragmented world. I believe the ancient ways of the Church still have something fresh to say. I live between the disciplines of the scholar and the heart of the worshipper. Between tradition and hunger. Between the sacred table and the streets of everyday life.

This website is where I share my writings, promote my books, offer theological resources, and invite others into this ongoing conversation—one that leads, always, to worship, awe, and reverence.
