About Me

Hi. My name’s Robert. I’ve been a Christian most of my life, and currently worship at a vibrant Anglican church in South-West London.
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Theology and a Master’s degree in Systematic Theology from King’s College London.
I was also a religious studies teacher and theology lecturer for several years, but later left to do a Bachelor’s degree in Law and the Bar exams.
Now you might think that, with my background and all of my studies, reading the Bible should be a piece of cake. Wrong.
Being a creative with a background also in art and music, I tend to get distracted easily. Reading the Bible can often become more of a chore than a pleasure, or it simply gets crowded out by everything else in life.
I can’t count the number of times devotionals like “Every Day With Jesus” have turned into “Every Other Day With Jesus.”
I’ve also been through a long-term wilderness of my own. I know how easy it is to become discouraged and for the word to become dry when you’re in that desert place waiting for a breakthrough.
During this time, I’ve been forced to depend on God alone and draw on his word completely.
It hasn’t been easy, and I don’t have all the answers yet.

However, I find I’m constantly learning new lessons and discovering more about God’s character and grace.
I want to share these insights with you as I go about that journey myself.
What is Drawing on the Word about, and how can I help you?
I created Drawing on the Word to combine my artistic and creative skills with my theological knowledge and passion for writing and teaching others.
