The Team


Nick is the author of Theology for the People, a blog and podcast discussing the intersection of theology and culture. Additionally, Nick is on the steering committee of the Expositors Collective, an organization that exists to equip and mentor the next generation of Christ-centered preachers. He also serves as a Local Connector with Calvary Global Network and recently developed Cultivate, a program to assess, train, and deploy new church planters and missionaries.

When he is not preaching or teaching, you can find John at a local coffee shop meeting with and encouraging other local ministers; hanging out at home with wife and partner in ministry, Louise, his closest friend for 30 years; or throwing a ball to his dogs.


The Podcast
Mike brings a thoughtful and pastoral lens to the challenges of preaching in today’s disenchanted world. Drawing from philosopher Charles Taylor, he reflects on the “disenchantment of the West” and how Protestantism may have contributed to it. Together, we explore what it means to be “enchanted,” how preachers can proclaim the death of Christ in a culture marked by scepticism, and how to show the beauty of Jesus even in the “ugly” passages of Scripture.
Along the way, Mike shares lessons learned from ministry in the European context, the emotional hardcore scene and offers practical questions that every preacher should ask as they prepare their messages.
This conversation is both deeply reflective and refreshingly practical – offering encouragement for those who want to faithfully communicate the wonder of Christ in a disenchanted age.
