From performance
to presence.
I spent over twenty years in ministry doing everything right — or so I thought. I preached the sermons, led the worship, visited the sick, and showed up for every committee meeting. But beneath the surface, I was exhausted. My faith had become a transaction: if I performed well enough, God would bless me. If I failed, He would withdraw.
Then came 2006. A cancer diagnosis shattered the illusion that my performance could protect me. In the darkness of that season, I began to encounter a God who wasn't waiting for me to get it right — a God who had already made me right through Christ.
That awakening changed everything. It led me to write Finally Free and to create spaces where others can ask the honest questions I was afraid to ask for so long.
