I’m a doctor from Adelaide, Australia. This blog is a series of short stories from my life. Some posts are overtly about spirituality, others are not.
I grew up going to a local church since I was a kid. But church was mainly an outlet for me to hang out with nice people and make friends outside of school. A lot of it was ‘going through the motions’.
In 2010, a series of bizarre and unusual things occurred in my life that I couldn’t explain. I felt God in my life in a real and personal way for the first time and became a Christian. I intensely studied the Bible and had a really enjoyable 2 years.
In 2012, my sister suddenly and unexpectedly committed suicide. In a coincidence, I was creating this blog on the same day it happened. It became a place for me to express my raw emotions during the worst time of my life.
Over the next few years, I continued writing as a way to process grief, and the problems I faced during medical school. I somehow managed to continue my studies and passed all my exams over the next few years.
In 2015, I graduated and got married. I worked as a doctor for a couple years in hospital. There were great times. I made some friends for life and had some unforgettable experiences. But there were also very bad times. I was bullied at work. I was forced to give up all of my holidays/leave. Lawyers became involved. It was a bad time. I became burned out and exhausted. I almost quit medicine. I was sad and confused. I also realised that I was still grieving and confused about my past.
In 2018, I deferred my training to be a GP (Family Doctor) to take a year off. I spent a year travelling the world with my wife to work through things and get some space. Whilst travelling, I asked a lot of questions of the world and of Christianity.
In 2019, I started work again as a GP trainee and completed my training in 2021. I now currently work part time as a qualified GP and part time in teaching at the University of Adelaide.

Hi,
I just want to say thank you for posting your 75 verses that got you through your med exams! They are helping me now as I go through my last year and a half of masters in teaching. I have struggled previously with a fear of failure. I am much better this year around and do not suffer that much from anxiety. But I have suffered from doubt and insecurity.
But God is so good and constantly reminds me to draw close to Him. And He reminded me of your website which I have marked as one of my favourites on my mobile.
Thank you once again. Your favourite verses are helping me.
God bless you with a continual understanding and experience of God’s love in Jesus! Amen! 😀
So I take the MCAT for the first time on Friday & my friend msg me this link to your blog…at first I wasn’t sure what to expect because prior to this I was feeling very anxious & scared for what’s ahead and I just discovered that the way my name is spelled on the MCAT registration is different from the way it’s spelled on my ID (w/ & w/o a hyphen) so here I am freaking out and in totally despair but….after reading through part of your blog I have hope that God doesn’t bring us this far to leave us…& as terrible as I’m feeling now, I know that that will change. So thank you

Hi there! I just wanted to share with you that I came across your blog while searching for scriptures to get me through Nursing school, and your 75 verses has been such a blessing that I share with others in Nursing school as well. I love your testimony for I can relate to being radically saved in 2013 after a point of the deepest anguish and desperation I was faced with as well! The Lord is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I am excited to see where He leads me for His Name sake and glory with Nursing Midwifery and every other area of my life. Blessings!
Your blog is soooooooooo samazing God bless you!!!!
Awesome blog man ! I praise God for what He did in your life and how He has brought you to a place where you can freely and in such a creative way tell others about Christ. Thanks for the encouraging scriptures that you shared to stand on during exams. Praise God for His Word ! Many blessings to you man.
