Through personal trials, God pushes us to grow.  It is so easy to stay with what is familiar in our lives, rather than to accept God's invitation to grow with Him beyond our wildest dreams.  However, if we take that leap of faith and truly trust God to direct our lives, God will show up BIG TIME!  The world has conditioned us to believe that we have control over our lives, and when we fall into that trap we are disrespecting God and the authority He has in our lives.  ANYTHING is possible with God, and just because He doesn't answer our prayers the way we want them answered, it doesn't mean that God hasn't answered our prayers, doesn't care, or that He is not listening.  God grants our prayer requests when they are in accordance with His will.  Afterall, He knows the whole story for our lives, not us.

"No eyes have seen, no ears have heard, no mind can conceive, what the Lord has prepared for those who love them."  1 Cor 2:9

Particularly over the last few years, God has pushed me to step out of my comfort zone to trust God's plan and will for my life.  Through these gentle nudges to sledgehammer messages, God has touched my heart.  Now, my desire is for other's to experience all that God has planned for them.  Below is a sampling of topics that are available to share at your church service, church event, ministry event, community event, organization, or retreat.  Time constraints of your event will be respected and honored.

Finding Faith (God's will for my life)

Lose the stuff, keep the stuffing (based on Matthew 6)

God's direction for managing money

Re-pack your Backpack (based on Psalm 139:13 and Veggie Tales Movie "God Made Me Special")

What is Your Passion? (God's will often equals your passion)

Pricing: A free will offering or your group's normal fee is sufficient.  I believe that God will provide for my family's needs and that the holy spirit has put it on my heart not to state a particular "speaking fee".
