Friends, I'm stoked to invite you to a Project of Love. I'm working on a Doctorate in Leadership & Spiritual Formation, to help people thrive together in life.

You know how we regularly struggle and sweat to get physically fit? Increasingly, it seems to me the same is true for relational “fitness” … and might even be a key to healing our political, racial, and other divides. In other words: Real love is messy.
