Tom Lane

How long have you been at Nexus?
I studied here in 06-07 and have been here since!

What is your favourite part about working at Nexus?
Being a part of this family. Seeing the staff and students discover more of God’s character and purposes and watching that unfold into their hearts and our community.

What is the one thing you would like to do before you die?
I’d love to go on tour round the US in a massive tour bus, with late nights and greasy food…live the dream haha.

What is your major achievement to date?
Living a life that means I am free enough to pursue the things that God has put on my heart. Sometimes that means sacrificing things, but it’s totally worth it!

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
I love going to gigs, I’m also quite a sporty guy, I like football, but I also love malted milk biscuits dunked in tea….if only we could combine the three!

What are people surprised to learn about you?
Bon Jovi are my favourite band!

If you could write a book, what would it be about?
I’d like to write something that people could read and practically put in place in their lives. I’d love to write about my journey, and how much God’s impacted my life, and by his grace has made me who I am today.

What is currently on your itunes playlist?
Israel Houghton, Michael Buble, Jurassic 5, John Mayer, Jill Scott, Biffy Clyro, Bon Jovi.

In two sentences or less, how has your faith changed you?
For me this is simple- since I started knowing God everything’s changed (honestly everything!) Through my relationship with God I have moved from a position of aimlessly loving worldy things (that always seemed so attractive) to now having greater sight, direction and purpose in my life. Now I strive to see God’s purposes at work in my life, my friend’s lives and in my family. So the journey continues…
