Has your day ever been “hijacked” by discouragement?
Being discouraged is not fun!
Discouragement can be like a villain “hijacking” a person’s day and even holding them hostage for longer periods of time!
This is WHY I’m passionate about what it do!
I help people deepen their faith in God, so that they can win the battle over their discouragement and experience a renewal in their lives they never thought possible!!
In Ephesians 3:20, the Bible describes God as One who is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all we could ever ask or think. This means God has the power to touch and transform a person’s life, give them a fresh start, a new beginning and redemptive way forward.
With 25+ years of pastoral and ministry experience, I have seen it time and time again, in countless lives—God breathing new life and bringing renewal into people’s lives through faith, hope and love in Jesus Christ.
Let me encourage you today: Deepen your faith and let God renew your life!!
When you develop the habit of creating a daily sacred space for yourself to come and let God strengthen your FAITH, fill you with HOPE, and renew your life with His redemptive LOVE, you can expect God to also put you in places where He is going to use you as a vessel of His grace and blessing in the lives of others and in the world we live in!
