Navigating Life's Meaningful Conversations Where Faith and Real Life Intersect
Join me where head meets heart—embracing head, heart, and spirit as God designed us—fully human. Where we listen as much as we speak, and where challenging questions don't divide but bring us together.
I invite Christians to join me in engaging theology with grit and grace as it shapes our daily lives, pursuing flourishing lives built on robust faith, so that together we can transform the world around us and advance God's kingdom on earth—living under the Lordship of Jesus Christ in all of life.
“The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried.”
— G.K. Chesterton
Conversations That Transform
“The first duty of love is to listen.”
— Paul Tillich
“Real dialogue is where two or more people become willing to suspend their certainty in each other’s presence.”
— David Bohm

If you're struggling to live out a robust faith in today’s world, or wondering how to make your faith relevant to your normal, everyday life wherever God has put you, I get it.
Let’s change that together!
We can grow in our understanding of what truly shapes our faith, not only through Scripture and theology but by becoming aware of the influences—the ones we're aware of and those we're not aware of—that have shaped us over time. These influences—from past experiences to societal values—shape how we live, think, and act without us even realizing it.
Together, we can explore how to ground our faith in God’s Word, examine what doesn’t align with His truth, and grow in our confidence in living out a real, honest, and unapologetic faith that transforms our lives and the world around us.
I’m constantly learning too, and I’m excited to share my thoughts as well as the questions I’m still wrestling with, and hear your thoughts and questions. Together, we can cultivate a vibrant, Christ-centered faith that impacts our homes, churches, and communities—advancing God’s kingdom on earth, every square inch of which is under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
