Today marks the beginning of a conversation I’ve been anticipating for way too long. It’s an important conversation with the potential for far-reaching impact and influence. From the vantage point of my age, experience and exposure I will raise questions, state opinions and hopefully, provoke thinking and dialogue.

  I am a pastor, counselor, consultant and life coach. I spend more and more of my time with leaders, their families and their organizations. This multifaceted assignment has evolved over three decades of ministry as a church planter, long term pastor and marriage and family counselor.

I have spoken to congregations and audiences for 30 years. I’ve had about 12,500 appointments with individuals, marriages and families. I have read 100’s, if not 1000’s, of books in a fairly eclectic mix of topics and perspectives.

I am on a quest to find answers to a very simple, but critical question -

“Why are real freedom and lasting change so rare?”

Or, stated differently, why don’t more people live passionately purposeful lives that radiate and reflect the joy of breathing God’s air?

Here on this website and blog I will share from books, life experiences, and my years on this unquenchable quest. Join me as we seek to discover and share ways to do life better!

YOUR TURN: What percentage of people do you think are living the life they have always wanted? Why?
