My Big Idea and Philosophy

Encouragement ushers in positive change.

My big idea is to offer “hope and action and not just a conversation!” I recognize that people are hurting. Ruth Graham once wrote a book called: “In Every Pew Sits a Broken Heart.” I believe that the title of the book is accurate. One of my great fears is that people will remain in that brokenhearted place.

It doesn’t need to be that way. My passion is to make changes in those I contact, whether I do that professionally or personally. Everyone needs encouragement all the time.

I love the Scripture, Hebrews 3:13 (NASB), says: “But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.”

Everyone ought to have a legacy of encouragement!

When we seek to encourage others, everyone benefits. If we don’t, the verse recognizes everyone’s danger of falling into the natural default of making it all about me. Such action is a sin! When that happens, everyone loses, especially you and me.

Thus, in everything I do, I desire to bring light into the darkness we all naturally fall into because of our sinful nature. When we seek to do this, love leaks and gushes into not only our lives but into the lives of those around us.

I want to inspire and instill this perspective into everyone I meet. This desire is my great passion.

This perspective is the main philosophy that drives my life and work. I hope to “infect” everyone I meet with this philosophy.
