Instructor

I am beyond excited to announce the continued growth of my ministry resources! What began with the launch of Futureproofing Faith: Revitalizing Churches in the 21st Century has expanded into a broader journey of equipping today's faith leaders, with the addition of my newest course, Bridging the Gap: Engaging 'Nones' with Spirituality and Faith.

Futureproofing Faith laid the foundation, originally crafted as a transformative learning experience for pastors, church leaders, and ministry teams. Rooted in a deep understanding of the complex challenges facing faith communities today, it offers practical tools, innovative strategies, and critical insights to help churches adapt, thrive, and remain relevant in an ever-changing world.

This course covers dynamic approaches to church revitalization, leadership development, and intergenerational engagement. From understanding the evolution of church culture to designing sustainable ministry models, Futureproofing Faith equips leaders to strengthen their mission and cultivate vibrant, resilient communities of faith.

It is especially dear to my heart because it marks the beginning of my journey as a thought leader in church revitalization. I’ve poured years of experience, research, and passion into this curriculum, ensuring that it offers actionable insights for anyone committed to securing the future of the Church. Whether you’re a seasoned pastor or a new leader seeking to deepen your impact, this course provides frameworks you can immediately apply to help your congregation grow, serve, and connect more deeply.

Enrollment for Futureproofing Faith is open now at BeADisciple.com! The next session runs June 16–27, 2025, Monday through Friday, with flexible learning that fits into your schedule. Participants will earn 1 Continuing Education Unit (CEU), and the course cost is just $75 with no hidden fees or textbook requirements, just an investment in the future of your ministry.

But this is only the beginning!

I’m thrilled to introduce my second course — Bridging the Gap: Engaging 'Nones' with Spirituality and Faith — an essential guide for churches ready to reach beyond their walls and connect meaningfully with the growing population of "nones," those who identify as spiritual but not religious.

This course tackles one of the most pressing challenges facing the modern Church: how to build authentic relationships with people who crave meaning, purpose, and community but often feel disconnected from traditional religious structures. Bridging the Gap explores the mindset of the "nones," the cultural shifts driving their growth, and the common misconceptions that can hinder outreach.

Participants will learn practical, compassionate strategies for creating welcoming spaces, fostering honest conversations about faith, and developing ministries that resonate with today's seekers without compromising core spiritual truths. Through this course, leaders will discover how to bridge the divide with empathy, authenticity, and hope — offering a faith experience that meets people where they are and invites them into deeper spiritual exploration.

Whether your church is just beginning to engage with this emerging demographic or actively seeking to broaden its reach, Bridging the Gap provides the critical insights and tools needed to cultivate ministries that are relevant, relational, and life-changing for a new generation.

Enrollment for Bridging the Gap is open now at BeADisciple.com! The next session runs July 21 - August 1, 2025, Monday through Friday, with flexible learning that fits into your schedule. Participants will earn 1 Continuing Education Unit (CEU), and the course cost is just $75 with no hidden fees or textbook requirements, just an investment in the future of your ministry.

Together, Futureproofing Faith and Bridging the Gap mark the start of a growing series designed to empower today's faith leaders to navigate cultural shifts, build authentic relationships across generations, and foster ministries that are both faithful and future-ready.

And the journey continues!

I’m excited to share that I am currently finalizing a third course: Preaching and Reaching: Communicating Across Generational Divides. This course will focus on sharpening our communication skills to reach every generation with clarity, compassion, and relevance. From Baby Boomers to Gen Z, each generation hears and processes messages differently — and understanding these nuances is critical for effective speeching, teaching, preaching, and reaching in today’s multigenerational churches.

Preaching and Reaching will offer practical guidance on how to craft sermons, lessons, and conversations that resonate deeply with diverse age groups while remaining faithful to the core message of the Gospel. The inaugural class of Preaching and Reaching is August 18-29, and you can click here to enroll.

My mission is clear: to continue developing practical, inspiring resources that equip church leaders to strengthen their mission, expand their reach, and transform lives. I’m honored to walk this journey with you and to help your church not just adapt to the future, but to lead it boldly and faithfully.

Let’s build the future of faith — together.
