We are often told that God loves us. The Bible tells us so. But do we believe it? Could it be that if we did, it would transform how we feel about ourselves and how we relate to our mates and our children? That transformation is what I call “the goal of God’s love” (1 John 4:12).
Through understanding the gospel, as well as Biblical principles for life, marriage and family, our relationships can be transformed. Explore below the ways in which we might grow in this together!
I am a pastor and a counselor. I help individuals and couples learn Biblical principles that will strengthen their marriage and family relationships. I am also a husband, father, and grandfather. Through my own personal struggles and years of reflection, I have sought to apply these principles to my own life. I am grateful to be able to help others through counseling and teaching from the Bible, sound research, and life experience.
