What my work in end-of-life care and business research has made very clear is that all created things end. Life. Business. Everything... I suggest we must face the inevitable - and particular the #Boomer generation who are retiring in life and business. www.linkedin.com/pulse/inevit...

Watching the political situation in the USA from Australia is akin to watching a psychological thriller-comedy series on TV... you just keep saying, 'Oh no. Oh wow. I can't believe it.' And you have to remind yourself, this shit is real. 😳 😔

When you begin to explore the Christian experience through lenses of differing theoretical frameworks, more possibilities for love and understanding open up. In my latest pod episode I continue to do a deep dive into applying Ecological Systems Theory (EST) to religious experience. #podcast #faith

I clocked 19,500 minutes of podcast listening on Spotify. @thesiswhisperer.bsky.social and @drjd.bsky.social , you win!!

In this pod I reflect on challenging our perspectives around church & spirituality. I discuss the impact of complex systems on spiritual development and influence, borrowing from American psychologist Urie Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory (EST). New pod: open.spotify.com/episode/0yRH...

“Compassion isn't just about feeling the pain of others; it's about bringing them in toward yourself. If we love what God loves, then, in compassion, margins get erased. 'Be compassionate as God is compassionate,' means the dismantling of barriers that exclude.” Fr. Gregory Boyle

I've decided that if we were 'tweeting' on Twitter we can be 'skyting' on BlueSky. 🦘🥝 In Aussie and NZ slang to 'skite' is to boast or brag. 📢 Just own it, much of social media is boasting and bragging of sorts. #skyting

Yesterday a resident with dementia wept with the deepest gratitude while we sang Silent Night together🥹. It was a profound, holy moment. Christmas carols can carry great sacred weight across a lifetime.

I have very encouraging PhD supervisors. But they didn't write this email. I did. Yep, a few months into my research candidature I started the practice of emailing myself backup versions of my thesis draft, along with encouraging emails to myself. I CC supportive friends. #PhDSky #PhDlife

About me 2/2 I live with my wife & three YA kids on Gubbi Gubbi Land on the Sunshine Coast Australia. I am completing a PhD at Uni of Sunshine Coast- researching small business education. I also work as an aged care chaplain part-time, attending to the spiritual needs of the aged and dying. ❤️🙏

About me 1/2 I am a cultural bridge-builder & writer who works at the intersections of identity, faith, and social transformation. Through provocative insight and empathetic challenge, I create spaces for deeper understanding across boundaries, toward more nuanced human experiences.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

A quick look at my resume will indicate I identify as a Christian (I work part-time as an aged-care chaplain). I know many religious folk who hide church-related-work on their resume - aware they may be misunderstood or excluded from certain opportunities. Read: www.linkedin.com/pulse/beyond...
