Hi There!

SOME OF MY STORY

Welcome To My World!

A Marriage Of Transformation & Exploration

My mission is simple yet profound: Guide Growth Through Wonder

I commit to guide those who are “soul hungry” to growth through adventure, ignite their spark of curiosity again, and help each and every one of us return to a state of wonder. Our lives are a magnificent tapestry of experiences and opportunities, and by embracing the unknown and stepping outside our comfort zones, soaking in the waves of Divine Grace, we can unlock our true potential.

My goal is more than just inspiring individuals to personal growth but rather for us to keep going until we build and nurture a close-knit community of people who hunger for more-an Ekklesia.

As a follower of Jesus, I believe that He holds the key to what life is really all about and how we can live that life to fullest. I’m here to help guide and discover with you the wonders of what His life and teaching means for us to live our lives to the fullest.

As minister & mountaineer, I'm a multi-faceted individual with a unique blend of qualities. My approach to teaching embodies a passion for exploration and adventure, inspiring students to embrace curiosity and venture beyond their comfort zones.

My experience on mountains has further taught me resilience, determination, faith and the ability to conquer challenges. It is my heart to instill these traits in my audience of learners. My role as a spiritual leader allows me to guide seekers on a profound inward journey of self-discovery and connection to Higher Power & Purpose.

Moreover, as a discipleship coach, I love to provide guidance, support, and wisdom to help others grow in their faith and personal development.

Overall, I seek to serve others as a dynamic mentor, imparting knowledge, life skills, and a sense of wonder to all who have the desire, and commitment, to receive them.

With an unwavering commitment, knowledge, and passion, I am dedicated to helping you develop into the best version of yourself. So, get ready to embark on an extraordinary adventure of spiritual awakening, self-discovery, communal renewal, sustainable growth, and limitless possibilities.

What Do I Do?

I'm here to Guide You To Wonder and Help You Accomplish The Dreams God Planted In You
By Growing Into The Fullness of Who You Are Meant To Be

Discipleship Coach

For over 30 years I have devoted my life to following Jesus, and helping others do the same, while building churches, equipping leaders and inspiring the curious. I long to come along side the spiritually hungry and help work out what it means for us to follow Him to a fulfilled life.

Speaking & Teaching

Groups big or small, I’ve spoken to them all. I deeply love equipping and inspiring people to take their next steps of transformation through wonder. It is a deep passion that has run through nearly 35 years of experience all across North America and many places internationally. It's my calling to motivate others through Faith, Hope & LOVE!!

Spiritual Direction

I love to sit with the seekers of every kind, listen to where they are, what they need and help them learn to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit. As they truly hear what the Spirit is speaking to them, I help them take next steps toward that WORD and aligning their lives with its direction.

Retreats & Adventures

Imagine taking weary spiritual leaders and/or curious seekers to the top of a mountain for communion and refreshment or a multi-day getaway in an amazing location and experiencing The Story of God! THIS is a core piece of how we grow! Here we will nourish our relationship with God & each other and find strength for the journey ahead.

Honor & Accountability

We all need someone to help us stay connected to who we a meant to be! It starts with HONOR. I listen deeply to what's in your heart while helping you with the next steps to bring it about, but the key is then asking the right questions at the right time to help you stay connected to accomplishing what you're here for! "How's it going with your dream?"

Leadership Development

Whether developing an individual or teams of leaders, I love pouring into people to enable them to effectively engage their sphere of influence and unleash greater good in the world around them. We need equipped & committed influencers to inspire others to pursue growth and goodness!

Consulting

I work with churches, organizations, teams and leaders to help with communication, relationships, perspective, strategy, small group bonding & development. I'm passionate about helping groups structure relational environments that allow the free flow of the Spirit and the developing of disciples within their communities.

Frequently Asked Questions

You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers.

Does someone have to be a "Christian" to get coaching or anything useful out of the community or content?

Absolutely not! I draw heavily from the life and teaching of Jesus as the guide helping us make sense of life. I've never met anyone who didn't respect the character of Jesus. We can all benefit greatly from examining such a person. No beliefs are pushed and no attempts to convince or force anyone to think or believe a certain way. Paying close attention to the teachings of Jesus is not "being religious" or pushing some church's agenda. It's simply being a very wise human who is looking for someone to make sense of this thing we call life. No matter who you are or where you are in your growth journey.. ALL are welcomed as we ALL are encouraged to grow!

This is at the very heart of my coaching principles:
BELONGING BEFORE BELIEVING!

What is the "Early Access" (soft launch)? How long will it last?

We are soft launching return2wonder in an early access "beta" phase until July 1, 2024 where I can begin growing/engaging the community right now with content, ideas & opportunities. This way we can see what works bests and helps people the most while getting things rolling NOW.

Everyone who joins now during the early access phase will be considered a "Founder" and will have a lifelong designation as such. This group of early adopters will have access to an exclusive "Founders" discussion board which will allow them be a part of early previews of content, courses, adventures and give them an opportunity to provide feedback/testing for the continued development of this platform.

Wait! There's going to be trips, outings and adventure travel?

Yes! In due time, as we build the community, we will begin offering opportunities to adventure together. These will have a certain number of spots available for "first come - first serve" registration, a cost (if applicable) and some potential requirements before registering (such as a certain fitness or experience level for hiking, etc)
