Inspiring a child-like faith

I believe that we all have an important role to play in the body of Christ. No matter our position in life, age, race, gender, and so on. And while there are many areas that I am passionate about, I presently speak on Jesus-centred parenting, child-like faith, raising disciples, and advancing the kingdom. I'd love to come and share what God has placed on my heart with your community. 

I've spoke in churches of every size, at youth retreats, women's retreats, child and youth worker conferences, and to kids, youth, and adults of all ages.

I'm the Director of Curriculum for RaiseUp Faith - a UK-based curriculum content platform. Previously, I served in  ministry for 15 years in youth ministry, as a curriculum pastor, and as a lead pastor. The primary experience I have had in curriculum development was overseeing the development of kids and youth teaching from birth to end of high school. I co-created One Story - a curriculum for kids and youth. I have an honours B.A. in English, M.T.S. (McMaster Divinity College), and am working towards a Doctor in Practical Theology (MDC) with a focus on the spirituality of children.
