Do you feel unanchored, lack of purpose, trouble finding meaning in your life?
We can have so much and still want more-more money, more things, more likes, more friends, more status and it’s still not enough.
People in every walk of life, every demographic and religious faith and non-religious faith are experiencing this.

Could it be because we as a society have lost sight of our Creator? The theory that we are here by accident and chance leaves us with more questions than answers. It has become taboo to breach the subject and not polite dinner conversation. Sadly, it can create division and hostility. But it doesn’t have to.
So where do we go to work through deep questions with open dialogue and space to consider? And how does the way we think about the deep issues of life impact us?
AW Tozer, a well-known author wrote in “The Knowledge of the Holy”:
“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us”
From our thoughts of God come our world-view and the big and little perspectives that drive our thinking, our emotions and our actions. Even though we don’t often make the connection.
What if a great deal of the emptiness, the stuckness, the lack of purpose is a lack of understanding of the spiritual? How much have we absorbed from other’s opinions?
What if knowing God is the thing we are looking for? A living, breathing ongoing conversation with the Creator?
When clients want coaching through their spiritual journey I provide a safe, non-judgemental space to question, to consider different perspectives, to dig deep to find answers.
Do you consider yourself a Jesus follower and still find distance with God?
What if it isn’t found in more Bible studies or prayer meetings?
Although those can be valuable, in themselves they aren't enough. We need to ask the hard questions, welcoming the answers even when we come up short. Experiencing transformation in our lives and putting into practice what we see Jesus doing. This is where it becomes real.
What if you didn't run from guilt?
But learned to distinguish valid guilt from false guilt and learned to face it? Learn and grow from it and get free? In the process we gain more understanding of God's presence in our lives.
Maybe you want a deeper understanding of his love...
And the freedom that you would experience as a result. How would it feel to live without constant guilt, feeling loved and cherished? Enjoying intimate connection with God?
Are you tired of trying and failing to do better?
To be better? Maybe you want more than forgiveness, you want deep change in an area. Maybe you want real transformation.

Would you like to engage in some conversations about faith?
Not religion. Faith.
We all have faith in something.
And it has enormous effect on our life-our health, our relationships, our mental health,
our work and our level of contentment and meaning.
As a teenager I knew that must be something, someone bigger. I spent some time in a traditional church where religion was taught. I found big differences between what was taught and what was lived and I became disillusioned with the whole "church thing". I set out to find what was true. My friends and I would go to the local Denny's at night and ask strangers we met, "Is there a God?" If we could get them to engage with us there were more questions. We spent many hours learning what other people believed and experienced. It was useful information but didn't satisfy.
I tried out different religions and came up empty.
I was part of the party group in high school. Rebelling against authority and anywhere we saw a double-standard. Our BS meter was highly engaged and we were skeptical.
A friend from our group was arrested for drugs and spent some time in jail. He was always down, in low-level depression. When he finished his time and got out he came to where we all gathered for lunch and we hardly recognized him. His face was lit up! We had never seen him happy. He told us he "found Jesus" in jail. We were very skeptical but we couldn't deny the change in him. So we finally gave in to his invitation to church, more out of curiosity than anything else.
We went with him to Calvary Chapel, the one highlighted in "The Jesus Movement" and my life changed that night. I found something real and true and lasting. It wasn't religion. It wasn't a set of do's and don'ts. It was an invitation to know God.
Show how the traditional methods didn't work and you were super frustrated.
Then, you had an ah-ha moment that brought you the result, benefit, solution you were looking for.

What if you could live a life where guilt doesn't hang over you like a dark cloud?
Where you can breathe
Where you trade in a prison cell for a wide space of freedom and possibility
