Ministry & Speaking.
Twenty years in boardrooms, fifty years in Christ, and one message: the God who keeps no record of wrongs, and what it looks like to live like you believe it.
I gave my life to Jesus at ten years old, and He has never once let go of me. Everything since has been an answer to that: decades on worship teams leading people into His presence, years walking alongside men who needed a brother more than a lecture, and a growing fire to tell anyone who will listen who He is. My heart is simple. I want people to meet Jesus Christ, to be forgiven past all counting, and to grow into an abiding, intimate relationship with Him, the kind that changes how you wake up on a Tuesday. Whether it’s a stage, a breakfast table, or one man across from me, that is the work.
Serving in Ministry.
Worship teams, men's groups, missions, conferences, and a few rooms I never expected to be in.
Five messages, one God.
Seventy Times Seven
Peter's question, Jesus' answer, and the end of counting. The talk behind the book. Works as a single message or a three-part series.
The Battle for the Mind
Repent, take every thought captive, be transformed. Three commands that turn out to be one campaign, with the Greek opened up.
Forgiving what can't be fixed
When the apology never comes, the person is gone, or the damage is permanent. Forgiveness as release, not pretending.
Starting over at any age
Job gone at fifty-eight, marriage over, seminary library, a book. What God does with a man who thought he was finished.
Prayer that moves
Mark 11:22-25. The five necessities Jesus named during Passion Week, and why forgiveness is one of them.
