Beautiful People, I'm SO excited. Not only did the press release for my self-published memoir go out yesterday (you can check the book out here: https://amzn.to/342nhIC), I just started school to get a Doctorate in Spiritual Formation to become a life coach! So, between the book coming out, my future in life coaching, and ongoing … Continue reading Blog Move, News, & 3 Beautiful Gifts of Christianity to Humanity
Hi Beautiful! When you read or hear the term “God”, what comes to mind? If you’re like me, our stereotypical notion of a bearded man up in heaven is NOT something very tangible, apparent, relatable, or possibly even believable … and I’ve been a Christian my whole life! I don’t say this to disturb or … Continue reading God as a Verb
My wife and I have this dance we do. Generally speaking, she cooks on the weekends and I do on weeknights, Lisa takes our dog Biscuits out in the morning and I handle the rest, I do the laundry and she cleans the floors, and so on. While our dance moves shift when the music … Continue reading Side Effects May Include Big Bliss, Gigantic Gratitude, & Profound Peace
Have you ever said something hurtful or dumb, and wished you could hit the rewind button to make it so the words never came out?

You see, I thought our Creator’s default state was NOT liking me and sending me to hell, and ANY mistake I made in life was something God took … Continue reading Lies We Believe About God Part 3
I shared recently that I’m a recovering porn addict. A HUGE part of this slavery was mistaken, yet QUITE common, views I had about God. While in my addiction I was SUPER concerned with being correct about things, in my freedom and life I’m more interested in being connected. The rewriting of what I think … Continue reading Lies We Believe About God Part 2
What if we thought of God as more of a verb than a noun? I think it takes us out of our heads and into our hearts, which is where relationship, experience, and love happens. What do you think? Check out my short new video blog on the topic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxkN7s0kzio If you enjoyed this … Continue reading The Power of Viewing God More as a Verb than a Noun
