There is little I enjoy more than standing in front of groups of any size helping things make sense. Have something you need communicated to your group? Fill out the form below, and let’s start a conversation about how I can help.
For the past decade, Vertical Church has been my home as a teacher.
In this beautiful community, I have learned more about myself and God than I’ve taught . Below are a few samplings of my communication style. Before you decide if I am a fit for your needs, I encourage you to listen. It is a holy thing to be invited into a community to share perspective and wisdom. A healthy match gives the greatest chance of a desired outcome.
The Reversal of David
We all have giants in our lives, taunting us to engage. The question is, will we? Most of us live in fear of the big moments, the big challenges, the big risks. It’s understandable. They feel so intimidating. But, they don’t have to be. We are never alone in our challenges. Ever. This week, we will discover that, even when it doesn’t seem like it, God is working a process in our lives. One that, when we see it, we can’t unsee it. This week we discover the process of reversal.
STRUCTURE
How does a church follow God well in the New Year? Is there more to preparing for what's ahead than resolve and intention? In 2022, Vertical Church as a community will follow a sacred pattern from an ancient story. This pattern, we pray to God, will use us, keep us, advance us toward the future he has written for us.
Fact or Fiction
Emotions are powerful. So powerful, in fact, that they are the origin for how we interpret most of our life experiences and guide many of the actions we take. How can we know that God, who is not human, knows how we feel when we feel? If Jesus did not sin, how could he possibly understand the things we often go through? These are honest questions, and they deserve honest answers. This week, we will discuss together three of the most powerful human emotions and how Jesus himself knows them well.
Make Way, John.
From his supernaturally announced beginnings to his politically motivated murder, John's life was marked as one who would make a way. In the end, he did just that. Even still, his circumstances and his plan didn’t always seem to match. As a result, doubt moved into his life. This week, Jesus will help us navigate the times when what we believe in seem to have let us down.
Eliminate Hurry
Let’s be honest, eliminating hurry is easier said than done. Like it or not, living fast has become the norm. But, the default pace of modern life is costing us more than we think. And, to break the cycle we’re going to need more than just a good sermon. It’s going to take Jesus. Using his life as an example and taking his promises as true, will give us what we need to live with intentionality and peace. I’m the second week of this challenging series we will learn together how to take hurry head-on and win.
