A Word from Jeff

Welcome

On this journey, we are blessed with a set number of days. A set number of adventures. A finite number of heartbeats. And a glorious opportunity to see if for what it is—an enormous gift from the Father. So drink deeply and take the time to ponder the depths of God, the unsearchable richness of His close abiding, and go deep! For when we search the depths of His richness, there we find the ultimate and highest truth. A journey of reason focused by faith delivers us into the very wonders of His unfathomable grace.

Lisa and I have been married 30 years. Wow – does time fly. Our family has always been our priority. Our priority is simple: to raise our kids to recognize and embrace high integrity & character, to place others above themselves, and to recognize and follow the voice of God. When you do so, they will be in opposition to the crowd. Even the church crowd. But man – is it worth it!

I’ve served as an executive leader in 3 churches over nearly 30 years. I’m happy to help in staffing, leadership training, conflict resolution, and more. As well as training your leaders and church in apologetics and cultural engagement

Simply put, apologetics is the art of providing an intellectual defense of our faith. We do so through pathways of reason demonstrating how God has made himself known through the disciplines of philosophy, science and the humanities

Theology as a practice is what we know to be true about God. In some current churches and in response to the evangelical anti-intellectual movement, I believe it is critical that pastors and those teaching God’s Word seek higher academic learning from a school of divinity or seminary.
