Give Them A Voice Foundation

Our mission is to Give A Voice to those that do not have one. Our foundational mission is to Give A Voice to those that do not have one.

Through our work in advocacy, resourcing and rescue we have a passionate desire to make a difference in peoples lives by tackling the hard topics of the effects of po*******hy, sexual abuse and human trafficking. If William Wilberforce could cause the tide of slavery to change in his lifetime, so can we.

From 45 to 55, I made it through by learning this:
You do not fix a life by yanking it upright in one heroic move.

and I the pleasure of sitting with
Stephanie McLaughlin from

The Leaning Tower of Pisa was leaning so badly they thought it would collapse. But they knew if they tried to force it back all at once, they would destroy it. So instead, they made small shifts. One shovel of dirt at a time. Slow. Deliberate. Patient.
That image stayed with me.
Real change usually does not come through one massive breakthrough. It comes through small corrections made over time.
That is how I found the truths I live by.
Not by trying to become who everyone else thought I should be.
Not by forcing myself back to some perfect version of upright.
But by making small shifts until I could settle into what was true.
True to myself.
True to what mattered.
True to the life I was actually meant to live.
Small shifts matter.
Done long enough, they can save your life.

Review: Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott

Verdict : Three-Quarter Brilliant

Bird by Bird gets a solid three-quarter brilliant from me.

It’s a good book. Worth reading. Worth having on the shelf. But not quite a full send.

What works is the craft advice. Anne Lamott has some genuinely useful things to say about writing, the writing life, and the mindset you need to keep going. Some of it applies to life in general too, which gives the book a bit more weight.

It’s also funny in places, and the story behind the title is great.

What holds it back for me is that it waffles a bit. Some of the angst and emotional stuff gets repetitive. Once or twice, fair enough. After that, I’m ready to move on.

Still, if you put this alongside Save the Cat, you’ve got two very useful books on writing without spending a fortune on an MFA.

So yes, definitely worth the read.

This month at ManChurch we’re talking about The Kingdom Within.

In a world that is constantly trying to shape us, pressure us, distract us, and pull us away from what matters most, Scripture calls us to something different: do not be conformed to this world.

As Christian men, we are not meant to be ruled by the noise around us. We are meant to live under the rule and reign of Jesus Christ in our hearts. That is the kingdom within.

This gathering will be a chance to step back and take a moment to remember who rules your life from the inside out.

ManChurch: The Kingdom Within
Saturday, May 9
8:00 AM Central

Bring a mate who could use some direction, strength, and brotherhood.

See you there.

“You can perform in pain… but you can’t sustain it.”
That line hit hard—and it’s the reality too many of us live in silence.
In this episode of VET S.O.S. presents The Scoop, I had a chance to shares a powerful truth about what it really means to carry trauma while still showing up as a high performer.
For years, many of us stay busy… productive… successful on the outside—
while internally, we’re struggling, avoiding, and just trying to make it to tomorrow.
But here’s the shift:
Healing doesn’t happen through performance.
It happens through honesty.
This conversation is about:
• Facing the internal battle instead of masking it
• Understanding that time doesn’t heal trauma—action does
• Realizing that recovery is a daily discipline, not a destination
If you’ve ever felt like you had to “hold it together” while falling apart inside—this is for you.
You’re not alone.
And you don’t have to stay in that place.
Don’t drown in the sea of transition—grab the lifeline.

Review: Telling Tennant’s Story by Dean Ashenden

Verdict : Brilliant

This one is personal.

I’m a Warumungu man, and this book is about my people, so I came to it with my guard up. Too often books about Indigenous people are patronising, political, or full of noise.

This one does something better.

It asks real questions.

Dean Ashenden comes at this honestly. He is not preaching. He is not trying to score points. He is a whitefella looking back and asking whether what he saw, what he was told, and what was happening actually matched up.

That is what makes the book work.

It talks about the struggle of Indigenous people without turning it into slogans, self-righteous theatre, or a poor-me performance. It is thoughtful, genuine, and worth sitting with.

If you know nothing about Indigenous Australians, you may have to do a bit of learning as you read. Fair enough. It is still worth it.

So yes, this gets a brilliant from me.

Book Review: Project Hail Mary

Verdict : Full Brilliant

One-minute review on Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary.

This gets a full brilliant on the Brilliant to Bollocks-O-Meter.

Here’s why.

I had been reading a run of books that all seemed to be pushing some agenda. Political stuff. Identity stuff. Just one layer of nonsense after another. So when I picked up Project Hail Mary, I was half expecting more of the same.

I was wrong.

What I got was a bloody good book.

Andy Weir does what more writers should do. He focuses on craft. He tells a strong story. He keeps it moving. No preaching. No posturing. No extra rubbish getting in the way.

That was a delight.

I loved The Martian, both the book and the film, and this gave me the same feeling. Smart, entertaining, well-built, and written by someone who actually knows how to keep a reader hooked.

So yes, full send from me.

Andy Weir. Project Hail Mary. Full brilliant.
