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.
