About Me

My Story

Short story - I was lost and now I am found!

Hint - I was a former rugby player who found Jesus. (Actually, it was Jesus who found me, and pulled me out of the miry clay). As my story becomes relevant to you, I will share more - for your edification - not my own.

The one thing I would like to emphasize in my story is the work of the Holy Spirit in my life. I grew up in a tradition that spoke much about the Father, and the Son, but not a lot about the Holy Spirit. As a result, I spent a lot of time trying to "be good" in my own strength, and it was exhausting!

When I was filled with the Spirit at my conversion, everything changed, and the Spirit became the power that transformed my walk with the Lord.

When I was able to hear the Lord - through the power of the Holy Spirit, everything changed again. Then I learned how to "Abide in the Lord," to see what he was up to in my life, and in the world around me. That is when I was finally able to walk seamlessly in my Ephesians 2:10 calling. (It's a good verse, look it up!)

I love working with men - because, seriously, we can use some help, and we usually haven't had good counsel in our life.

The more we lift up our brother, the stronger God's kingdom here on earth becomes.
