Glory Awaits Us: An Easter Reflection
Recently my son asked to skip church. He was straining to understand why we keep returning week after week when, as he said, “I’ve already heard about God.” It’s a fair question and one that I think shows how his short little life has been fairly uncomplicated so far. Adults know better. Life is complicated. […]

That First Session
What should your goals be in that first counseling session? Let me list five goals for you. But remember, no two sessions are alike. When you think you’ve seen ‘em all, along comes a “doosey” that you never dreamed of, let alone expected to encounter. So, what I am speaking about is nothing more than the …

Hope In Hard Times
As I read and watch the nightly news one thing becomes more and more evident- life is hard. It really does appear that our world is on an ugly trajectory and that the troubles we encounter will only increase as we rocket toward the end of days.

Navigating Loss with Hope
Life is certain to be a mixture of diverse experiences. We walk through incredible joys and painful loss with varying frequency. And sometimes these experiences occur together in the same week or even on the same day.

Wouldn’t we all honestly rather have the joys and not the painful losses? Continue Reading →

Happy New Year!

On the other hand, suppose all goes sour—far more so than at the present—should that lead to an unhappy New Year for you? If …

All Who Are Weary
There are times in each of our lives when we come up against obstacles that threaten to knock us over and flatten us. These times cause us to look up to the heavens and cry out, “Why God, why?”

He is in Control
Have you wondered how much more you can take? Have you cried out to God for understanding and relief? Have you begged Him to just make it stop?

Treasure in Earthen Vessels
Like you, I wonder what God is accomplishing by my trials and by allowing me to be brought so low. I know I have been in this kind of a place before…this time it is deeper and different. God allows us to experience all kinds of trials on ever deeper levels to round out our character and to give us the ability to minister to others in their time of need.

Counseling parents of lost teens: Giving hope and perspective
As the Faith Christian School Biblical Counselor, I get to partner with parents by coming alongside them with God’s Word to encourage, teach, and guide them in parenting their children. I would be unable to meet with all 720 students myself. Instead, I meet with parents and students to offer biblical counsel to help guide… read more
