Currently serving as Lead Pastor at Cornerstone Assembly of God in Beulah, Michigan.
Don’t look for a long line of abbreviations after my name or even before; it’s just me; wife, mother, pastor. Yes, I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my past, but every day I strive to “know Him better and make Him known”. I don’t make excuses for sin in my life and I don’t walk around with “my tail between my legs” (as my grandma would say). I know who I am in Christ and what he’s called me to. My past isn’t who I am today, nor will my scars define who I’m going to be tomorrow. I am who God says I am. God alone is The Great Potter, I simply surrender this vessel to his hands, everyday.
The books I’ve written are not to show off what I know, and you need to know. These books are to help “spur us on toward love and good deeds”. As “iron sharpens iron” let’s help encourage one another to grow deeper and deeper in love with our Savior and stay focused on the fact that we’ve been called to fulfill a “Great Commission”.
The enemy will try to use whatever he can to distract us from living on purpose. My hope and prayer is that these simple books will help to reveal those tactics and shake the dust off your feet to be able to go on.
“I have not stopped thanking God for you, I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called - his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.” Ephesians 1:16-18 (NIV)
May you continue to seek His Kingdom first, and especially his righteousness, as you walk as Jesus did in love and forgiveness, fulfilling the Lord’s Commands to go into all the world making disciples of all nations, healing the sick, raising the dead and casting out the unclean spirits.
Co-Laboring in Christ with you,
