Welcome to my blog, formerly known as the Functional Church Blog. While I will continue to explore the rich themes of kerygma, koinonina, diakonia, and maturia, I’m excited to expand its horizons to include a broader range of interests. In addition to functional church insights, I will now delve into thought-provoking discussions on church, culture, masculinities, mission, lifestyle, spirituality, and social change. As a Canadian and a Metis who has lived in the Philippines for over 20 years, my aim is to foster a dynamic and inclusive space where we can explore various facets of faith, society, and personal growth. I look forward to engaging with you on these important topics and encourage you to join the conversation. Let’s embark on this journey of exploration and inspiration together!

I invite you to explore my blog by browsing through the menus. It is available in both English and Tagalog languages. I hope you will find a wide range of interesting articles and different perspectives. My hope is that the content will inspire you and encourage meaningful conversations. Stay tuned for my upcoming podcast, where I will discuss these fascinating subjects in more depth.

Thank you for coming here, and I hope you feel happy and deeply inspired by the carefully created content that I have made for you.
