WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING 
about Teaching and Conference Speaking

As a program staff member, I found our staff
retreat to be the most helpful 24 hours I have ever
invested in my personal and professional life.

 I  have had several opportunities to attend
professional conferences across the country and 
I always come back with innovative program ideas.  
 However this time I was helped to deepen
my relationship with God which will provide
a strong foundation for my life and my ministry.

-Ministry Director, First United Methodist Church

"Soul slips away easily from
a church or an institution.
You may go to any of these places
and find that the Spirit has departed
and the Shekinah has gone...

When a local church loses it's soul
it begins to slip into mediocrity
and is unable to give life.
The average person doesn't
even know when a
church (or organization)
begins to lose it's soul.

It takes unusual deeper wisdom
to see it, and then when we see it,
it is costly beyond words
to retrieve it."

~N. Gordon Cosby,
Church of the Savior
