Fruit for thought: The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill

I recently finished listening to the whole series of podcasts on The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill. It has been a sobering podcast to listen to. I highly recommend for those who are in seminary or going to ministry full-time to listen to. It is a good reminder that we must be mindful of […]

Gospel Identity vs Identity Based on your commitment to Jesus

This post reflects Tim Keller’s sharing entitled “How a Gospel Identity Grows” around the 15-minute mark. He said that basing our identity on our commitment to Jesus is subtle but vastly different from our identity in Christ (also known as Gospel Identity). How is it different? Tim used Peter’s denial as an example. When Jesus […]

Kids, parenting and ministry

I may have written this before, so bear with me if you have read it already. Our life decisions will determine the path of who we will become. I know this ain’t rocket science, but I am always amazed at myself for taking this route of being a stay-at-home dad. I admit that most of […]

Our Fear of Being Ordinary

I carried them everywhere when my kids were young, like 3 and 1. I would strap the baby on my chest and carry my three-year-old in one arm. I remember a few times, people in the mall would applaud me and call me “super dad.” Being a stay-at-home dad (SAHD), one would think that encouraged […]

The struggle in doing chores

I have been a stay-at-home dad since mid-2009, and there is still one thing that I still struggle with. And that is doing chores. A good example is what happened last night. Because I took the car for maintenance during the day, I didn’t have time to buy groceries. Usually, I shop during the day. […]

Chasing the Unknown

Hi Wai Jia, I am going to climb the Bluff Knoll today. If you don’t hear me by the end of the day, please call for help. A few weeks ago, Bluff Knoll came up when I was checking out hiking trails in Perth.   It is the highest peak in Western Australia, with an elevation […]

42 and easter reflections

Today is Easter Sunday and also my bday. Woohoo, I turn 42! It is more special to reflect on the cross. Since the beginning of this year, I’ve been asking myself, how has the cross changed my life?There is one thing that is grappling with my heart. It asks me how the cross changed the […]

Welcome back Wai Jia

It has been about two weeks since Wai Jia came back from Eswatini. Since she came back, we tried out a new routine in Team Tam. Even though she was gone for only 7 weeks (feels like 7 years!), a lot of things have changed. For one, our older child started going to school during […]

Contentment

Two weeks ago, I discovered that we have COVID. So all of us (me, my kiddies, and my mom) are isolated at home for seven days. It was crazy. I feel like God is stretching me. First, be a stay-at-home dad with Wai Jia. Then, Wai Jia is off to Africa while I look after […]
