Ready to grow in your faith?
Me, too. I'd love to share what I'm learning with you.
Here you'll find a collection of blog posts and articles to encourage you on the journey of faith. I hope you'll drop me a line if one of them is particularly helpful.
Can I offer that encouragement in person (or virtually)? Let's discuss your needs for a retreat or conference speaker. (Visit my speaking page for additional details and sample messages.)
And I've included a variety of other resources to equip you as well, including a free Bible study download, links to all my Our Daily Bread articles, and links to my other published blog posts and books.
Dig in, friend! I'm glad you're here.
Free Bible study
To equip you on the journey of faith.
He is... therefore i am
Is there a difference between what your mind knows to be true about God and what your heart seems to believe?
The He is... therefore i am Bible study (co-authored with Julie Turner) examines six attributes of God's character and encourages participants to embrace the corresponding truths in their own lives.
The free e-book available for download. Printed copies of 10 or more also available by request.
When is your next retreat or conference?
I have been speaking professionally for more than two decades. I still love every minute of serving ministries through spoken messages. Please check out my speaking page to discover some of the topics I'm often asked to address either as a keynote or workshop.
Maybe you or your event speakers need some support crafting and delivering their messages? I've coached TEDx speaker slates and ministry conference speakers and I'd love to come alongside your efforts as a coach, too.

More room for joy at Christmas
Joy. It’s a popular word this time of year. It’s printed on pillows, formed into stocking hangers, and a common refrain in Christmas music. We want joy. Yet many of us lament we don’t feel joyful during December. I think the problem is we’re all a lot like the innkeeper in Luke…

I’ve missed you, friends! I’ve written so many blog posts in the recent months… in my head. I really have been writing quite a bit, but the content has been specifically for Our Daily Bread Ministries so I haven’t had the ability to post more here. (If you’re not familiar…
Read MoreAuthenticity: Rising tide lifts all boats
I wasn’t sure I wanted to “share.” I knew the tears would well up in my eyes. (Insert cursory feminine joke about mascara here.) And I haven’t known these women for very long, so tipping my emotional cards felt (extra) risky. We were discussing hypocrisy in the Christian life and how…
Read MoreThe Words that Matter
It reduced her to tears. My daughter was pulled aside, her motives and commitment questioned. Her concern for others and willingness to respect authority were impugned. Because her heart and deference are authentic and pure, it absolutely blindsided her. Later that same day, a package arrived for her. The inauspicious cardboard…
Read MoreWhen 1000 words miss the point
They say a picture says 1000 words. But what if it doesn’t tell the true story? The photo below was taken at my daughter’s last cross country meet. The girls’ varsity team huddled together in prayer. This is customary for their team and many teams. They often gather before the…

“Back to school” felt really different this fall. And I did not like it one bit. My oldest daughter really took responsibility this year. She looked up her schedule. She organized her supply needs. She drove herself to registration. And to school. And to practice. All. By. Herself. Before she left…
