I have a deep love for people…all people—of every faith and even those who have no faith at all.
I’m endlessly fascinated by the roads people have taken, the road they’re on now, and where they may be headed next. I seem to have a natural ability to see the light and goodness in their journey, even when they can’t see it themselves yet. I love reminding them it’s still there.
If you spend time with me, you’ll probably notice that I tend to turn people inward for a moment—encouraging them to slow down, breathe, and listen. Years ago, I used to call that “begin within.” And while there’s still some truth in that idea, what I’ve come to understand more clearly over time is that the real peace people are searching for doesn’t come from digging endlessly inside themselves.
It comes from reconnecting with the One who created them.
Jesus.
My family and I are as flawsome as anyone else. Life has been messy at times. Because of that, we have a deep appreciation for authenticity in people—the more real, the better. We have walked through seasons of having a lot and seasons of having very little, which has given us the gift of knowing people from every walk of life. At the end of the day, we don’t care where someone comes from. We care about their heart. The bigger, the better.
Since the release of Eleven Days, we’ve been humbled by the incredible people who have crossed our path because of that story. The book seems to attract people who are searching, healing, rebuilding, or simply trying to understand their lives a little more deeply. We are grateful for every person we’ve been able to meet, encourage, or walk alongside for even a short part of their journey.
When someone is working alongside me or seeking guidance, I often say something simple: there are many wise teachers in the world, but the most important voice you can learn to hear is the quiet leading of the Holy Spirit. Scripture reminds us that God is not the author of confusion but of peace, and when we draw near to Him, clarity begins to unfold.
I’ve been blessed to know many thoughtful people—counselors, mentors, doctors, and healers of different kinds—and I’m always grateful for the help they bring into people’s lives. But over time I’ve come to believe that the greatest healing often begins when a person reconnects with God and remembers that they are not walking this life alone.
Whether someone is struggling with health, finances, relationships, grief, or simply feeling lost, I believe there is always a path forward. Sometimes the road is long. Sometimes it requires courage and humility. But healing, restoration, and purpose are always possible.
God has a way of redeeming even the most confusing seasons of life.
So if our paths cross and you find yourself feeling temporarily derailed in any part of life—health, wealth, relationships, or the quiet places of the heart—know this:
There is still hope.
You are not forgotten.
And with God, everything that feels broken today can become part of a much greater story tomorrow.
