Welcome to my blog. This site is a work of obedience, walking with God as I document my journey from Christadelphian to orthodox Christianity. I first felt the compulsion to set down these thoughts back in 2017 as I made the transition from my previous denomination, through the wilderness of no organised religion, and into my current theological understanding.
It’s been a rocky journey, and I find myself having left the religion of my family after 50 years. I’m now studying for a Masters of Divinity while working through what it means to embrace orthodox Trinitarian theology. Much of my thinking continues to evolve – God is everlasting and never changes, but humans… not so much.

My Theological Journey
The heart of this blog documents my transition from Unitarian to Trinitarian thinking. After five decades as a Christadelphian, I’m working through fundamental questions about God’s nature, salvation, and Christian life. It’s not easy to unlearn 50 years of theology, and I’m still discovering how much this transition affects everything else I believe.
Recent articles in this journey:
- From God Manifestation to the Incarnation – Why I moved from Christadelphian to orthodox Christology
- How do we Obtain Forgiveness? – Understanding justification vs. sanctification (it’s not what you think!)
- Understanding the Trinity – My transition from Unitarian to Trinitarian theology
- When Ritual Overtakes Worship – Finding authentic faith after religious disillusionment
Seminary Studies
I’m currently pursuing my Masters of Divinity at Brisbane School of Theology. In the spirit of transparency, I post my assignments here after they’re marked – including my grades – so you can judge the quality for yourself. I reckon there’s value in seeing the academic side of theological development, warts and all.
Popular academic content:
- Deontology, Utilitarianism, and Virtue Ethics
- How Philosophy and Christianity are linked
- The Central Message of Job
All of my MDiv work is linked here
Heart Reflections
Not everything here is academic theology. Some of the most important content comes from wrestling with God through real life – disappointment, trauma, unanswered prayer, and the search for authentic spiritual community.
Recent reflections:
- The Bitter Pain of “Unanswered” Prayer – Wrestling with God’s timing and plans
- Extravagant Love – Finding God’s love in the midst of abuse and trauma
- Living in the Shadow of God – What it means to be hidden with Christ
Where I Am Now
I’m a traditional Christian now rather than Christadelphian, though my theological position continues evolving. I fellowship with Baptists but I’m not necessarily committed to any particular denominational framework. I’ve moved from cessationist to embracing spiritual gifts – to my great surprise, the Holy Spirit has led me to speaking in tongues.
Currently studying theology while navigating the complexities of theological transition. Always learning, always growing, always dependent on God’s grace.
Note about my writing: Some articles may not entirely reflect my current doctrinal position. I’ve been progressively updating them, but it’s a big undertaking. Some I’ve removed entirely because the framework they’re based on is quite alien to my theology now. I’d rather show the authentic journey than pretend I’ve always had it sorted.
Book Reviews & Other Interests
I read extensively (mostly audiobooks during my commute) and review books that have shaped my thinking. No kickbacks, no financial incentives – just honest thoughts on what I’m reading.
Recent book reviews → I have been a bit slack in keeping this up to date – I haven’t even tried to track my theological reading for uni!
