LET'S CROSS THE THRESHOLD AND AWAKEN MORE WITHIN
I accompany spiritually minded individuals, leaders, companies, and institutions on the path to deepen and expand their sense of God's Mysterious presence. Through messaging rooted in my Master of Divinity and my own experience of spiritual healing, I encourage participants to crack open their tightly held black and white beliefs and cross the spiritual threshold into the gray where the true, Infinite God exists.
The gray is not a place for relativity or “anything goes.” Instead, the gray is a place where we forego our attempts to contain God. It’s a place where we are both humbled and empowered by God’s Mystery and allow God to be His Infinite More.
In practicality learning to embrace the Mystery of God can teach us how to be more open to that very same mystery inside us all. We can learn to live in the more authentic tension of both/and instead of drawing lines in the sand of either/or.
My work looks at Spiritual Truths from new depths. I dig up the deepest spiritual meanings that are alive in our theology, everyday experiences, and even in science. It is a depth that I believe often goes overlooked and under communicated but has the power to truly nourish and transform those willing to listen.
Ultimately, I invite listeners to allow the Truths of our Faith to mold their hearts more closely to God’s; so, our hearts can break for that which God’s heart breaks and rejoice in that which God’s heart rejoices.
MY STORY
In the first grade I experienced a decisive encounter with God in the Eucharist. This encounter left an indelible mark, convincing me that I would forever be in service to the Divine. Over time this affection manifested itself in educational and career decisions with the conviction that my mission was to offer a message of hope and healing to the world.
MY DREAM was to stand at the heart of sacred institutions and give a voice inside the threshold between the human and the holy, translating Mystery into words that can transform and heal.
When I finally arrived at the center of the place I longed to serve, I was hopeful my mission was coming to fruition. In some ways it was, but not the way I ever dreamed. While I found beauty and truth, it was equally matched by BROKENNESS. It was a brokenness so acute that it forced me to ask the question, "Why Stay?"
I desperately desired to abandon the Church, but amidst my struggle something or Someone HELD ON TO ME . I knew this pain was ordained for my transformation and for my mission. I had to break and be healed by Mystery, so that I could offer something authentic and real.
MY MISSION became clear: I needed to keep moving deeper, not away from, this mysterious pain. I was being called into the both/and of beauty and brokenness. And through this experience of suffering came a divine, palpable, and unshakable healing.
This is the MESSAGE I offer now. The thrill and torment of wrestling with wonder, of entering into the gray, and of going deeper into Mystery until only the sense of infinite awe remains.
