Read MoreWe Need to Talk About Transgender Rights

I’m a pastor, author, and speaker, from St. Louis, Missouri, now living on 25 acres in rural Tennessee. My wife, Debbie, and I have been married 29 years. Together we have four children—two on their own and two at home. When I’m not writing and editing, I’m roasting coffee or pulling espresso shots.
For me, spiritual wellness involves opening yourself to God’s love for you and discovering a ground, a center, a safe space, where you know you can always find rest, support, and peace. I am a learner, not an expert. I’m inviting you to learn with me.
My background is Christian, and I consider myself a follower of Christ, and so, I speak from a Christian perspective; however, all are welcome here.
My goal is to give you insights, tools, and practices that will help you fully receive God’s love into your life, in such a way that it leads to genuine spiritual health. I want you to have everything God has for you.
I Coach.
There is perhaps nothing I value more than the opportunity to sit with a person to help them discover their next steps in life and ministry.
I Speak.
I have had the privilege of speaking to many thousands of pastors and laypeople at local churches, regional worships, and national conferences.
I Write.
As a writer, editor, and published author, I have a wealth of experience in writing books, training materials, devotions, and other spiritual resources.
