The ultimate call on my life and the passion of my heart is to use my gifts and skills to help people experience genuine, spiritual transformation. While my life experiences give me particular familiarity and strengths in dealing with addiction, recovery and sexual brokenness, the overall framework and goal of my work is spiritual wholeness.
I believe the Church, for all her weaknesses and shortcomings is called by God to be a spiritually empowered community anchored on and characterized by the Grace and Truth which came into the world in Christ. By speaking and teaching, listening and thinking, mentoring and consulting, I help individuals and spiritual communities find and fulfill their ultimate calling. My hope is to see the Church become a healthier, more effective community of people growing in the Grace and Truth of Jesus as his Spirit makes that real in everyday living.
