Sadly, you are leaving us for a year! What are you up to next year?
“Next year I’ll be doing a placement with Kings Church London, where I grew up. I’m hoping to do worship, song writing, and music and sound stuff. Hopefully get some technology in there as well!”
What has God been teaching you the past couple of years you’ve been here?
“I’ve learnt quite a bit from ChristCentral in terms of focusing more on the Bible and appreciating it. I’ve really appreciated the focus on Christ and making sure the Gospel is the message, how much we always go to the Bible. When someone does a talk at church, they prefer to use a passage of scripture to do a talk from, rather than just writing a talk first and putting some nice scriptures along with it. God speaks to us through the Bible. And I think sometimes you can get into the mindset of, ‘I need all these extra experiences, and other people are going through this and that, but I’m not really feeling it right now.’ Or whatever it is. Those are good things. But really, there’s so much in the Bible itself, and God’s speaking to you through that. If we go to the Bible, we can hear what he’s saying to us. That’s the main thing I’ve learnt from… whatever the question was that you asked!”
