“Though I dwell in darkness, the Lord is a light for me”
Micah 7:8.
Can vibrant Christian faith and depression coexist?
I’m all-too-familiar with the nemesis of depression. During decades of ministry in churches and as a university professor, I’ve experienced recurring bouts of deep despondency, sometimes without a cause I could identify.
I’m a fragile, desperate, bloodied soldier of Christ who marches with a limp. Yet by God’s grace, I’m still engaged in the battle helping despondent Christians find the support and hope needed to live a more joyful, fruitful life.
DEPRESSION
I openly share my struggle with depression, sharing my insights and how I have experienced God's grace in the midst of it.
PULPIT SUPPLY
Licensed and active in the Presbyterian Church in America, I have served and preached in a broad range of denominations.
LEADERSHIP TRAINING
I train Bible teachers and small group leaders, and also assist church leaders with ministry strategies.
WRITING COACH
My writing experience includes 18 traditionally published books and scores of published articles for publications such as Just Between Us, Discipleship Journal and Arizona.
I combine written evaluative comments with a phone consultation so you’ll absorb insights to help with your next project, not just the one we're working on together.
Let me help make your writing the best it can be.
