Although I've attended church all my life, the first twenty-eight years were defined by anxiety, insecurity, and destructive behavior. Then, on January 6, 1991, I met Jesus. I was a new creation! Seven years later, I asked Him to take my life and do whatever He wanted to do to make me useful for His kingdom. He said, "Get your Bible open and start studying because you're going to need it!"
Since 2003, I have passed on what God has taught me at over ninety-five events, including MOPS meetings, seminars, workshops, writing and ministry conferences, and weekend retreats. My mission, based on Colossians 1:28-29, is to encourage people to live each day in a passionate love-relationship with Jesus and then go out and impact their family, church, community, and world for Him.
