It seems everyday the media is flooded with bad news. Headlines describe horrible tragedies like suicide bombers, school shootings and abuse.

People are dying everyday. Not just physical deaths. Hearts and minds of kids, young adults and mature grown ups alike are being destroyed. Sadly, our country has become a breeding ground of people with no understanding of who they are. The result is a nationwide identity crisis that has reached pandemic levels.

People are living their lives with super massive black holes in their hearts. Endless voids that are consuming hopes and dreams. What does the world have to offer that can satisfy this insatiable hunger? Who or what are people turning to for value and validation?  

Many things. Hollywood, professional athletes, musicians, reality shows, vanity, riches, material possessions, addictions, titles, achievements, and awards. These are just a few but the list is endless. Many things in life are disguised as “harmless” stuff. Mirages that look and taste good but ultimately end up producing spiritual cancer.

As long as our culture remains obsessed with "self" there will always be emptiness. There will always be frustration. We will never be satisfied.

Our mission is to speak life and truth into people. People who are dealing with real struggles. People who are dealing with raging storms in life. We want to point people to Jesus. To tell them the good news that grace and freedom are available to them. To show people that only Jesus can reveal to them their true identities and immeasurable value.

Abundant life is available to everyone. There are only two ways to find out how. Look to the false promises of the world for hope. Or, give your life to the one who gave His life for you.  

You have to choose.

My ministry is small, but Jesus said I only need faith the size of a mustard seed for Him to do amazing things. It's a privilege and honor to use the gifts God gave me to encourage and pray for people.

My job is to love people. It's His job to transform hearts.
