Advent 2 Peace
I've always thought it a little ironic that, just as the Christmas season gathers momentum and we get busy with present-buying and food shopping and calendar-juggling and work deadlines, we are invited, perhaps challenged, to focus on Peace. For many people, Christmas is not a particularly...

Advent 1 Hope
A reflection for the first Sunday in Advent. The hope that is proclaimed on the first Sunday in Advent is not a hope that some future miraculous event will save us from the impending doom we sense and fear. Rather, the hope that is proclaimed as we begin our journey toward Christmas is a hope…

On Building a Legacy
Does the person create the journey, or does the journey create the person? In this podcast I want to encourage you to affirm that it does matter how you make the journey, to reflect on the grace and generosity of those with whom we take that journey, and to consider (without being too morbid) the...

Tread Gently or Stamp My Feet
How might we hold and express strong opinions in the context of diverse perpectives? Does this tension mediate against us taking a stand for what we believe in complex situations? How can we avoid the trap of dualism, of believing things are either right or wrong, good or bad, true or false?…

Am I a Christian Atheist?
I didn't even know that Christian atheism was a thing until I read about it recently! Is it real or is the term an oxymoron? Here's my take on the nature of God.

Good Friday and the LGBTIQ+ Enigma
This blog reflects on the recent Federal Government decision not to take account of the LGBTIQ+ community in the 2026 Census, and on the potentially concerning influence of conservative Christian lobby groups in this process.

Me and My Shadow
I could never see myself voting for Donald Trump but I can learn from him about the shadow side that lurks within my psyche! In this podcast I reflect on strategies to keep that shadow side in check, strategies like curiosity, stillness, wonder and more.

To Be Filled With Light
An invitation to wonder at the beauty of creation, inspired by the beauty of the Nagambie Lakes (Victoria, Australia) and featuring Mary Oliver's poem When I Am Among The Trees. Check out www.oldsoul.blog for some photographs of the Nagambie Lakes.

Australia's Forgotten Hero
I want to take you back almost 56 years to the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City to recall the story of another Australian Olympic hero. The story of Peter Norman is one of the inspirational stories of Australian sport and stands as a reminder of the importance of holding firm to our values…

Lamenting the Loneliness of Humanity
Like many families, our family has a social media chat group that we use to share news, arrange family gatherings, and post photos both cute and embarrassing. This past week the chat became momentarily heavier, as various family members discussed the apparent escalation of youth crime in our…

Less 'But', More 'And'
Can a small, seemingly insignificant word like 'and' empower the emergence of a world of human dignity, equality and justice for all? I believe so! Listen to the latest episode in the Old Soul Podcast to hear why. If you prefer the print version it is available at www.oldsoul.blog.

Save the World or Savour It
How we view the world will help determine how we choose to live within it. In this podcast I contrast the traditional 'original sin' perspective on the world with my prefered 'original blessing' perspective on the world. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Navigating the Times: Courage and Hope
Here's my take on how we might respond constructively to the all-too-evident signs of destruction and despair that assail us. Rather than throw up our hands in hopeless or helpless resignation, we are invited to look beyond the signs of destruction to the signs of hope and courage that are also...

The Three Pillars
It is a strange time we live in. Wars and rumours of wars, excessive wealth juxtaposed with increasing poverty, beautiful seascapes threatened by rising sea levels, brilliant advances in science and medical research one hand and feigned ignorance or outright opposition to empirical evidence on…

Words Words Words
In a noisy world where we are bombarded with words, words and more words, it is good for us to be reminded that simply filling the space with words is less important than getting on with just action! Words will be necessary, of course, but it will be in the action they drive that words will...
