Mentoring & Counseling

Though we do counseling, Ruthie and I see ourselves more as mentors. We prefer to walk with those we are in relationship with. Relational mentoring and counseling is a huge part of what we do. There is an aspect of professional counseling that has a specific charge, and we charge for premarital counseling, but much of our walking with people—counseling and mentoring—cannot be monetized. But we do ask that those we mentor take into consideration that our mentoring ministry is our career, and, according to I Corinthians 9, to biblically and responsibly contribute financially to our ministry. Ways to do that are listed in the DONATE section of this website.

The primary mentoring focus is our calling to walk with leaders and upcoming leaders. Many leaders have no one to speak into their lives. Sometimes leaders feel like giving machines—who will speak into our lives? This is a primary place Ruthie and I desire to be—counselors to counselors, pastors to pastors, leaders to leaders.
