Healing-Centered Ministry & Spiritual Formation
Meeting people where systems have failed them — with grace, with truth, and without pressure.
Whether you’re looking for a speaker, a resource, or you just needed to read something today that felt true — I’m glad you’re here.
I am a United Methodist pastor, certified evangelist, author, and church planter in northwest Ohio. My calling has been shaped by one persistent conviction: grace does not wait for people to get their lives together before showing up.
Through writing, speaking, and ministry, I work at the intersection of faith and healing — creating spaces where people who have been hurt by the church, navigating trauma, raising foster children, or living with neurodivergence can encounter a God who is not surprised by any of it.
My work is rooted in relational, trauma-informed evangelism — the slow, patient, non-coercive work of introducing people to Jesus in a way that honors their full story.
“A bruised reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench.”
Isaiah 42:3 — NRSV
Rooted in Wesleyan theology, I believe God’s prevenient grace is already at work in every person before they ever walk through a door. Every space I create begins with that truth and stays there.
Wesleyan FoundationPeople who carry trauma, doubt, or wounds from the church do not need to be fixed before they are welcomed. The most transformative communities are built on radical, unhurried acceptance.
Trauma-InformedEvangelism that coerces is not evangelism at all. I specialize in the slow, consent-driven work of introducing people to Jesus by first showing up for them as a human being who genuinely cares.
