When life gets busy, our initial response is often to double down on work ethic and increase intensity. But this is an unhealthy recipe for burn out and a terrible life.
If your output is increasing, you actually need to increase the input. In this episode, I'm talking about strategies for slowing down as well as dealing with core identity issues for high-achieving type personalities.

Today is a special day as we drop an album called Milk & Honey. You can find it everywhere like Spotify, Apple, YouTube etc (just search for Reflect Church).
In this episode I talk about some of the process and barriers to putting ourselves out there. Creativity is hugely psychological as well as spiritual and if we're not careful, we'll never share the things on our heart with the rest of the world.

I've always been someone who is open to experimentation and much of my content creation journey has been like that. I've tested all of the promises and principles you can think of on Instagram e.g niching, consistent posting, hooks, engagement etc.
The problem isn't that this stuff doesn't work. It does but it comes with a cost that most of us are unwilling (wisely) to pay. I explain in this episode how I've shifted how I think about social media. It feels much healthier and works so much better for me as a creative. I hope it helps you too!

Have you ever thought about how heavy unfulfilled dreams are? All my life I wanted to write songs and make music but 2024 is the year that it became a reality in a significant way.

Just because someone is succeeding in the obvious metrics (business growth, money, influence etc) doesn't mean that they're actually happy. We see the highlights via social media but I'm having conversations with so many creatives who are struggling internally despite winning in life.
I'm sharing three mistakes that driven visionary type creatives make and explain how becoming emotionally healthy is the key to happiness.

My plan for 2024 is to focus on the things that drive success that most of us tend to overlook. The back end (as opposed to the front end) is a fitting metaphor to help us understand what really creates success. It's the things behind the scenes that matter most.

This is my vision for you in 2024. Imagine if you could spend your time creating all of the cool stuff God has put on your heart AND get paid to do it. Not only that but escape a life of intense pressure and unhealthy rhythms by keeping rest at the centre.
Most of us have succeeded in a couple of those areas but few have done it without losing their soul in the process. I'm going to share with you what that looks like in this episode.

2023 will go down as the year I decided to take my health seriously. I share in this episode about what led me to creating a regular habit of working out 5x/week and how I've now worked out 200 days so far this year.
We all want to create disciplines and move forward on our goals but it's also important to make sure we enjoy the journey (otherwise we won't last). When we fall into obsession and robotic behaviour, the fruit is never as good or as lasting as we hoped for. I believe the principles from my journey this year will help you start 2024 strong.

When we dial in our focus by niching, we tend to get more clarity in our messaging and connect with people better. But I've also found that niching can minimise our unique human qualities and turn us into automated content machines. Don't forget that people want to connect with people so don't censor your unique personality but let it shine through.

Wouldn't it make a lot of sense if God made us to feel energised and excited about the things he created us to do? And yet so many people hold the false concept that if it feels easy or good then it's probably not from God. Today we're talking about how to redeem our desire and use it to make better decisions, become more effective and enjoy life more.

We're drawn to the things that promise us instant results but I've realised that most of the time the things that come quickly also disappear quickly too. What we really want is to build something of permanence that lasts.

I'm learning that rest isn't so much about something we can attain or create space for but it's actually an internal state of being.
In other words, it doesn't matter how much money you have or how successful you are. You can smash it in all of the world's metrics but still fail internally in your soul.

In today's episode I share 7 keys to keeping your soul healthy as a creative and protecting yourself from burnout. Contrary to what we might think, burnout is actually the result of 1000 decisions that lead to the slow and gradual decay of the soul even if it's often experienced and seen as one catastrophic event.

Making money is mostly about mindset. The nature of limiting beliefs is that we tend to not realise they are there. That's why they are so powerful. I've been working on shifting some mindsets around money and business over the last months and wanted to share them with you.

In 2018, Vicki Simpson had a prophetic picture of a rubik’s cube in the hands of Jesus, representing a sudden global change in the church and the world. Little did she know the events that were coming swiftly to us all in 2020 and beyond. We talk about the emergence of the hyper-local church context, what God is up to globally in the church, hearing the voice of God and the emergence of a new group of people disenfranchised with the institution of the church.

Did Jesus really say anything new? Most Christians would agree with the idea that Jesus came as some sort of radical revolutionary to overthrow religion and law and bring in a new era of grace and freedom.
But how can that really be the case when Jesus himself was not only a Jew but as Messiah is the ultimate fulfillment of what it means to be Jewish. Why would God spend so much time and energy fulfilling a covenant with the Jewish people if it is obsolete today?
I sat down with Rabbi Matt Rosenberg (Messianic Rabbi and author of Jesus Never Said Anything New) for an eye-opening conversation to learn more about the Jewishness of Jesus and the importance of understanding the context in which the scriptures were written. I think you’ll find it helpful and insightful.
(My apologies for my audio quality in this episode as I accidentally recorded with the wrong mic. Luckily you’ll still get to hear all of the crystal clear wisdom from Rabbi Matt Rosenberg ;-))

In January 2020, Lucy Hubbard started a travel photography side-hustle. Little did she know that just moments away was a total ban on travel due to COVID-19. We talk about how she grew her creative business, Going Home Broke, in lockdown entirely through Instagram and achieved massive coverage (being featured in Elle Magazine multiple times).
Plus we cover the godly importance of enjoying life, rest and fun whilst creating a church culture where others feel permission to pursue their creative dreams.

Stepping up and into the online world is fairly awkward for most of us - even those we consider to be digitally proficient. And yet tremendous opportunity lies outside of our comfort zone as we occupy the space God is calling us into. Mitch Hammond (part of the ministry team at C3 SYD in Australia) shares his journey of finding his voice and owning his niche. Expect some rich insights for church leaders around how to navigate the tensions today's digital world brings.

It's not hard to want to reach everyone when you're a church because ultimately that's what Jesus told us to do. However we should also be honest about the reality that we can't reach everyone on our own. Every church is called to reach a different group of people - it's a team game.
Focus is about less not more and by choosing a niche and target audience to reach on social media, you'll find that creating content comes much easier for you and your team.

It's easy to get tired churning out content on Instagram. Particularly if it doesn't feel like it's reaching anyone. If you want to reach more people, you have to talk to more people. If it sounds simple, it's because it is.
Today we're talking super practical about how to reach more people with a proper engagement strategy. If you don't spend any time deliberately creating and nurturing conversations on Instagram then it's no wonder that you're not reaching the people you'd like to.
