\n\nFROM HIS BIO:
\n\nI lived much of my life in the dark until I was eventually forced into the light.\xa0It was through this painful process of being exposed to the light, and then learning to walk in it, that I discovered God's grace, gained freedom from the dark, and was\xa0empowered by the light\xa0of the gospel.
\n\nMost men today are in hiding. Isolation and loneliness has defined us as a generation, and we are disempowered by the lies of the darkness. As a result, we feel inadequate and incompetent at home and in our marriages. We lack a centered identity that would otherwise provide the confidence we need to lead our families well or maintain personal integrity.
\n\nI currently serve as the National Relationship Generator for CLC, a men's discipleship ministry (clchq.org). I love sharing my story and helping pastors to empower the men in their church through a relational approach to men's discipleship.
