POSTS STORIES REELS

One of my final thoughts before I disappear and it’s a prayer from this wonderful book I’m reading.

Drop me an Amen if you pray along with me 🙏🏼 by @rhysdwi

Parry out ✌🏼

This is my last post before my little social media hiatus and what better shot to use than this of me and my mate Michal (she’s the one on the right).

Love me some fancy dress.
Love a disguise.

The quirky thing is sometimes I feel our behaviour is a disguise for what’s really going on…

I was listening recently to Arthur Brooks’ audiobook The Meaning of Life when he mentioned something that made me stop in my tracks.

As a social scientist, Brooks points to the relationship between time spent on social media and increased rates of anxiety, depression, and loneliness.

More importantly, he argues that our use of technology often masks an UNMET desire.

We reach for stimulation so quickly that we never stop long enough to ask what need we’re actually trying to satisfy.

(Big Think)

I was doing some thinking this morning and this old reel came to mind.

It was taken by the content crew at my old college.

It’s not intended as a flex (especially as I didn’t know I was being filmed aka deffo candid not plan-did)

But it does capture the core of what my faith is to me.

I don’t have a significant other to celebrate.
I don’t have kids with milestones to share.
I don’t have a career per se anymore.

I am, however, absolutely infatuated.
I am, however, loved beyond measure.

And as I walk along this morning having a little cry listening to some of the worship songs I love the most I’m reminded, physically that:

Duw Cariad Yw.

When considering whether the Eucharist was actually intimate union with Christ, Flannery O’Connor said:

“If it’s just a symbol to hell with it”

I’m with her.

And if this journey of faith is:
- merely philosophical notion
- merely a private members club
- merely ideas to debate in the academy or pulpit

Then I’d rather not.

But if it’s an invitation to an all encompassing, consuming love…

Then I’m in for good.
And I want the same for you.

SEEYA LEGEND 👋🏼

I’m thrilled to say my final spot for work has now been snapped up so I can focus fully on this next exciting chapter 🤩

This video is a bit of a podcast tbh (Sozberries) but it’s something I need to share.

I’ll post one last time early September then I’ll see you at Christmas / Easter / Summer 2027!

It might get you likes but it won’t do you good 👀

Give my brother a follow. @parrytxttoo You’ll recognise the sass and see the familiarity of genes but note the style is his own.

Back from Vicar School and I’m excited to tell you….

I HAVE ONE SPOT LEFT

If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, this is your sign.

There is now just 1 place left to work with me over the next 12 months.

From September, I’ll be stepping away from social media and focusing my attention on seminary, God, growth, and the people closest to me. I originally opened five places. Four have now gone.

One remains.

The people I work best with tend to fall into one of two camps:

👉 Business owners who want more margin, more freedom, and a business that serves their life rather than consumes it.

👉 People who feel called to become coaches and want a proven roadmap to build a meaningful, profitable practice.

Over the last few years I’ve built a coaching business that reached 250k+ per year, generated 50k months, and created over 50% recurring revenue through a combination of referrals, content, partnerships, and direct outreach.

If you’re already in business, I’ll help you identify where the hidden margin is, simplify what isn’t working, and create more profit, more time, and more capacity for the things that matter most.

If you’re called to coaching, I’ll show you exactly how I’ve done it and help you build your own coaching practice over the next 12 months.

But beyond the business side, what I offer is a combination that can be difficult to find:

Commercial acumen and spiritual direction.

Someone who cares about your growth as a person as much as your growth as a business owner.

Someone who wants to see you reach your God-given potential.
Or as St Irenaeus said “The Glory of God is (YOU) fully alive”

In exactly 9 days, I’ll be disappearing from view for a season.

When I return, these spaces won’t be available.

If you’d like to explore the final spot, send me the word MONK.

More meaning. More money. More margin.

One place left. by @rhysdwi

Q: What is the collective noun for a group of hopeful future ministers in the Church in Wales?

I’ll go first.

A: An expectation 🎉

I have been moved, challenged and inspired by learning and worshiping alongside this wonderful bunch this week. My heart is full and hopeful.

Vicar Summer School 2026 = Out! by @rhysdwi

“Seminary”

Iesu + Great Company + Rave Vibes = 👌🏽

All amidst deep learning, humbling testimony and top notch impartation there was dance.

And even though I am a card carrying Pente-Catholic-Cymraeg it was my first time using flags.

Wasn’t it David said…

“I will celebrate before the Lord. I will become even more undignified than this” - 2 Samuel 6:21-22

Whether in cassock or neon glasses or both he is worthy.

Diolchgar tu hwnt 😃 by @rhysdwi

Q: How do I feel about being back at seminary for year 2?
A: Beige. Chill. Ph7. Comme ci, Comme Ça.

🐶 Gwen can’t believe it.

There are only 2 spots left to work with her favourite human for a whole year.

What she really can’t believe is that you haven’t snapped one up yet.

Apparently, you’re still trying to figure everything out on your own instead of working with the curly haired two-legged frothmeister.

Here’s what he’ll help you do:

✅ Help you get paid for what’s on your head.
✅ Show you how to start or scale a coaching business.
✅ Teach you how to make sure you’re making juicy margins
✅ Find massive fulfilment in serving others
✅ Do all this with God at the centre.

People need what you have, people are seeking counsel and Jesus loving folks like you need to answer the call.

Or so this human says anyway. He calls it commercial discipleship.

So if you want to start a coaching business OR add some juicy margins and extra fulfilment to a business you already have you should message him.

Plus…

🐾 He gives excellent treats.
🐾 He’s reasonably entertaining.
🐾 And unlike me, he won’t judge you for taking too long to make a decision.

Only 2 places remaining before he goes back to vicar school.

Drop him a DM with MONK if one of them should be yours. by @rhysdwi

BTS: A Trainee priest on a typical Sunday.

Featuring @kiln_coffee, my 99 year old Nan and multiple costume changes.

Obvs the people are what make the day special but didn’t want to candid camera them in without consent.

17 Days until I disappear off socials to focus on training so figured I’d share this now so you have an idea of what I’ll be upto 😃 by @rhysdwi
