You may have surfed in without knowing what you were doing, but you are NOT here by mistake! This might be just what you are looking for in regard to assisting in your personal spiritual growth or in facilitating renewal in your home congregation.
I believe that contemporary Christianity has two significant problems. There is a long standing theological tradition which emphasizes the intellect and reason to the exclusion of religious experience. Primarily because of excesses in fundamentalist and non-denominational groups, many Christians today are extremely wary of the charismatic gifts of the Holy Spirit. The effect of this is to create a faith which is distant, cold, and ineffective in the real world.
The second problem is that we have lost touch with the contemplative dimension. We're moving so fast today that slowing down to actually spend time developing a deep, mystical awareness of the divine presence around and within us is something we don't even consider. Again, fundamentalist objections to the historic schools of Christian mysticism and modern philosophical presuppositions that shape public opinion have worked together to devalue contemplative spirituality.
I am here to help recover and combine these two vital aspects of Christian spirituality.
If you are an individual who is interested in personal spiritual growth and development, please check the information on the menu tab about how we can work together privately.
If you are a ministry leader, please check the information on the menu tab about my work with congregations. The focus of my work in this area is to teach, model, and impart responsiveness to the Holy Spirit for life and ministry. The contemplative workshops on centering prayer, lectio divina, and how to hear God's voice are excellent opportunities to introduce these ancient practices to your members, as well as developing a corporate level of deep spiritual growth.
People who attend my conferences and workshops usually arrive with no idea what to expect. The conferences are highly practical, hands on, and experiential. Because I know that most people learn by doing, not simply by receiving a lecture, I try to move people quickly from theory to practice. I do not believe that Christian ministry is a "spectator sport" and my goal is bring as many people into the game as possible.
I am a subject matter expert with extensive experience in spiritual direction, healing, spiritual gifts, prayer, and discipleship that can be utilized immediately in conjunction with your current congregational vision and strategy.
I am here to support and assist those who want to pursue renewal in their personal lives and faith community. I invite you check out the various workshops I can bring to your congregation, but most importantly, I want to develop something especially tailored to your unique context. You are always welcome to contact me about getting started at anytime! Let me know when you're ready and how I can assist you.
