Why Zeal
If there is a verse that incapsulates my life it's Ps 69:9 - the zeal for your house consumes me...
​
I have loved leading, pioneering church plants and roles in senior leadership teams of large multi-site churches. I am passionate about seeing churches explode with growth and kingdom organisations change the world.
Some time ago I discovered that my 'ZEAL' reached beyond my own church as I felt called in to assisting develop other leaders and see churches grow. I started helping other leaders, I started a church software company which assists leaders all over the UK and even around the world I have even led church buildings programs.
I love to muse on theological subjects and I get geeky about the practical operational elements of church life. This site has a church leadership blog where we will do just that! Have some good theology banter, cover 'how to' church subjects and, as we grow, it is my hope that we will have more great contributors bringing insight and wisdom in to their niché.
One thing I have loved over the past decade has been leadership podcasts. I love the podcasts by Andy Stanley, Perry Noble, Steve Furtick +++ where they cover many great topics.
I want to do something a little different, instead of listening to them unpacking subjects I want to get to know them a little better. I wanted to hear about times when it hadn't worked, when it had gone horribly wrong, what they did and what advice they would pass on to others now with the hindsight of experience. I wanted to hear about their biggest moments of revelation so far. These are going to be a great leadership conversations packed with nuggets of gold for budding leaders.
​
So a podcast for Zeal for the House is coming soon, we will focus on getting behind the veneer, to dig into how great church leaders and pastors keep putting points on the board.
I am based in UK near Nottingham, the home of Robinhood. When having some R&R you will find me either with a book in my fav cafe or, as a petrol head, blasting down the road in my latest car or motorbike.
If you are ever local or visiting sunny England give me a shout and let's see if we can grab a coffee..!
