About

My Name is Liam Byrnes 1, Im living in South Africa with my wife Rachel, practising the presence of a coming Kingdom – I’m convinced that we live from our minds, and that we are created to consider things, practise them as truth, and be changed increasingly into the likeness of Jesus.

This blog is for thoughts around theology, culture, missions, music and maybe even a little coffee2

Study

I studied Politics and Social research, then half way through found myself reading more theology than politics 3, then switched to studying Divinity 4 at University of Aberdeen. More Recently I’ve been working with a pilot programme in the University of the Nations for an M.A. in Spiritual Formation in Discipleship.
