“Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ, and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.”
Ephesians 3:8-9
my core values
-
“I will not offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God that cost me nothing.”
2 Samuel 2:24Doing things with excellence, while not an end in itself, is a means of glorifying God by being a good steward of the abilities, opportunities, and tools placed in my hands. I believe the details matter. Clarity is key. Excellence is not perfection, but the drive to do things well as an act of worship.
-
“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.”
1 John 1:7To walk with Jesus is to live with consistency behind and in front of closed doors. It is the kindness of God that He exposes darkness in our lives, and it is our love for Him, displayed in obedience, that moves us to confront it. I am committed to walking in the light and creating harmony between my public and private life.

“And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, ‘Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at your house today.’”
Luke 19:5Ministry means nothing if it is not grounded in seeing and knowing people. Jesus set the example for ministry that is not functional but relational. My life was formed by people who modeled this. I am energized and driven by relationships, and I’m committed to connecting with people in whatever context I find myself.
