Faith isn’t something I talk about to check a box. It’s the foundation of my life. It’s not just what I believe -- it’s who I’m becoming and how I walk with others along the way. This page is about the faith that guides me, encourages me, and shapes how I love people.
Helping people to echo and learn the life of Jesus in their everyday lives.
That’s the mission of my home church, Echoes Church, and it reflects my heart, too. I want to live a faith that is present, compassionate, and authentic -- not performative.
Pointing people to Jesus by loving them like Jesus.
That’s the mission of Rock Point Church, a community that’s helped shape my spiritual walk. Both of these churches inspire how I approach life and relationships.
One of the voices that’s had a powerful impact on my life is Nick Vujicic. Born without arms or legs, Nick has spent his life sharing hope with people facing impossible odds -- especially young people battling discouragement, bullying, or suicidal thoughts.
His message: “Your life has value. You are not alone.”
Two interviews on 60 Minutes -- one from over a decade ago and a more recent follow-up -- reveal not just Nick’s resilience, but his joy, purpose, and faith.

“When God is for us, who can be against us?” -- Romans 8:31
(In the future, I may add links here to my brother’s or dad’s websites, which are also committed to helping others walk through hardship.)
When it comes to sharing faith, Carl Medearis’ book Speaking of Jesus reflects how I think. His book points us away from arguments and toward something better: simply introducing people to Jesus. A place where the relationship both with Christ and the other person is more important than being right! At the heart of it all is Jesus — not a label, not a position, but a living person whose life continues to speak more powerfully than any debate.
Love Your Neighbor
This series explores how Jesus calls us to love people with no strings attached. It’s simple, bold, and counter-cultural in all the right ways.
We Can Do Anything (Opening Sermon):
A powerful start to a new church plant -- reminding us that God works through all of us, even when we feel unqualified.
Rebuilding isn’t just about bricks and walls it’s about lives. This series unpacks how courage, calling, and faithfulness come together in seasons of challenge and purpose.
Over the years, a few key Bible verses have become anchors for me -- especially in hard seasons. These aren’t just memory verses; they’re daily reminders of God’s faithfulness.
● James 1:5 (ESV) -- “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given to him.”
● Proverbs 1:7 (ESV) -- “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
● Romans 8:31: “ God is for us, who can be against us? ”
● Galatians 5:22–23 (ESV) — “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control; against such things there is no law.”
These words have helped me stay grounded, lead well, and trust deeply. I come back to them often.
My faith isn’t about pretending I have it all together. It’s about letting God meet me in my weakness and shape me through grace. If there’s one thing I want people to know, it’s that Jesus is still changing lives -- including mine, every day.
Whether you're just beginning to explore faith, have walked this road for years, or if you have doubts and questions, you're welcome here. This is a space to reflect, ask honestly, and grow together. My hope is to build real relationships rooted not in being right, but in understanding one another even when we see things differently.
This page will grow over time -- with more stories, sermons, resources, and reflections that have shaped me. I hope they’ll be an encouragement to you, too.
If you have a prayer request, a question, or just want to talk through something, I invite you to reach out. You don’t have to have it all figured out. Neither do I. But we don’t have to walk alone.
Let’s echo the life of Jesus -- one step at a time.
