About Me
I bring to this work the perspective of a retired pastor and the training of a certified mediator, combining years of shepherding experience with professional conflict-resolution skills. In every situation, I serve as a steady guide for the professional support we provide, ensuring that both the spiritual and practical dimensions of leadership are honored.
Over the years, I have studied and practiced a variety of proven mediation methods that are designed not only to surface the real issues beneath the surface but also to create a safe environment where honest dialogue can take place. These approaches allow me to listen carefully, discern patterns, and identify the root causes of tension or misunderstanding. Rather than offering quick fixes, I work patiently with church leaders to clarify the challenges, explore possible solutions, and prayerfully chart a path forward.
My role is not to impose answers but to walk alongside your leadership team, helping them discover a plan that reflects both biblical wisdom and practical effectiveness. Together, we develop strategies that address immediate concerns while also strengthening the long-term health of your ministry. In this way, the process becomes more than conflict resolution—it becomes an opportunity for growth, healing, and renewed unity within the body of Christ.
