Thoughtful reflections from a biblical counselor learning, growing, and hoping—just like you. These words are for the weary, the wondering, and those who walk with others through the long road of faith.
I’m not here to teach from the mountaintop.
I write from the valley, the hillside, the road—wherever Christ finds me.
This is a collection of reflections, written with the Word of God open and my heart laid bare. Here, I wrestle with truth, rejoice in grace, and share the gentle mercies of God that meet us in the middle of our mess.
Whether you’re leading, helping, hurting, or healing, you’re welcome here.
