Needing a Speaker?
I’m so excited you are here. Having served in local churches for over 15 years as both professional staff, and laity, I have a sincere appreciation for your role in the body of Christ. My desire is to make your job easier, to come along beside you and carry your water bucket.

So, if you’ve come here looking for a speaker for your retreat or luncheon, or you are simply looking for someone to come into your church and light a fire of passion (my Day Seminars are perfect for this), you’ve come to the right place. My four-step Event Planning Process was created for busy people like you. I’ve taken all of the work out of putting together an event. To access my speaker information, click on [ this link ] and you will be taken to my Speaker Website. Don’t worry; a new window will be opened so you won’t lose your place here.

Looking for Information for Small Groups?
If you’ve come to this site as a Director of Christian Education or you are a Leader of a Small Group, this is the place to find all of the information you need to use Direction to its fullest. Let me first explain the book and companion workbook. The companion workbook is to be used both by individuals during the week in tandem with their reading in the book, and by small groups. Then once a week for eight weeks, these individuals will gather as a group for a 45-minute to 1-hour time of sharing. All that you need to host these meeting is either in the companion workbook or is on this website. To access the aids for small group gatherings, click on the link at the bottom of this page.

A note about the structure of the lessons: Each group lesson, although slightly different each week, follows the same basic format.

	Gather Exercise - this is an activity that will need preparation (see the resources needed list).
	Opening Prayer- you may read or invite others to share in this reading.
	Weekly Review- this is where you will discuss the weekday lessons they did. You will use the questions to guide the discussion. Remember, not all questions need to have answers.
	Next is the main part of the lesson, and it changes from week to week.
	Most lessons end with a time of prayer (Yield:), although some end with other prayerful activities.

Please feel free to contact me with questions and feedback. I want to hear what you are doing and how this study has impacted your life. I’d love it if you’d take pictures and add them to the Photo Gallery. It is so much fun to see the creativity of God at work in His people. Finally, and most importantly, I’d love to pray for you. Complete the form below, and I will pray for you specifically. May God’s richest blessings be yours as you seek to serve the One who gives us all we ever need and more.
