My archetypal disruptor is Jesus. I just love his subversive, revolutionary and
insubordinate nature, particularly when it came to challenging religion,
principalities and powers. To me, the peaceable kingdom he spoke about (and
died for) is sadly still too radical for the world, and too wide of the mark for many.
Every time I hear his words spoken I am simultaneously angry, inspired and
enlivened. All that potential energy is released in my attempt to change the world
I live in, by being the best priest, husband and father I can be.
