Some things you cannot work out alone.

One honest hour
A private conversation, online, wherever you are. No church membership required, and you do not have to arrive with faith intact.
Before
You write to me
You answer a few questions in writing — where you are, what happened, what you're carrying. I read it and pray over it before we ever meet.
The hour
We talk
Sixty minutes, face to face over video. Mostly I listen. Where scripture speaks to what you're facing, I'll bring it — plainly, not as a lecture.
After
I write back
Within 24 hours: what I heard, passages to sit with, and two or three concrete next steps. Something to return to later.
Writing and teaching
Can’t Sleep Because Your Mind Won’t Stop? A Christian Night-Time Practice
Three in the morning is a terrible time to solve a problem—and often the time your mind most wants to try. A pastor explains why problems grow in the dark, what God did for an exhausted prophet, and a short Christian practice for nights when your mind will not switch off.
How to Make a Decision When You Are Waiting for Certainty
She had been considering the same decision for fourteen months but could state the answer in one sentence. A pastor explains five things people wait for after discernment is finished, what Proverbs 3:5–6 promises, and ten questions that turn an overwhelming decision into one you can make.
How to Pray When Prayer Feels Like More Worry
“I think I am praying,” she said, “but it feels like worrying with my eyes closed.” A pastor explains why some prayers leave us more anxious, what Psalm 62 holds together, and a six-movement prayer that gives mental circling somewhere to go.
