Hi, I'm Phil
Lancaster
This blog is about the things I'm passionate about. Following Jesus, loving people, living simply and a bit about art stuff as well.. I don't proclaim to be perfect in any of these areas but as Paul says in the Bible, "forgetting what is behind I strive on..."

I'm married to Nicola and we have 3 grown up children and 1 grand child nearly here.
Professionally, I work for New Zealands largest DIY hardware chain in their plumbing department.

Spiritually, I'm just a normal everyday person who wants to follow Jesus as best I can. I'm not a pastor or teacher or anything like that. I think a lot about the issues facing the world and the church today and this blog is where many of those thoughts see the light of day.
I live in Palmerston North, New Zealand. Despite what John Cleese once said about Palmy, it's a great city to live in. (We got the last laugh anyway. We named a mountain at the local rubbish tip after him.)
To know more about me the following random notes may help.
- Skillet are the best band on the planet
- Big Bang Theory is the best comedy on TV. (Mrs Browns Boys is a very close second)
- New Zealand is the best country in the world to live in
- Art, and discussion about it, is lacking in the Church today
- Grace is seriously misunderstood and seriously needed in the world today
- We rely too much on technology but I'm grateful we have it
- Dad jokes are cool (See point 5 😊)
There's lots more I could add. Just ask me if you have any questions.
