I am available to speak to groups, teach classes and preach in church services. Also, I have developed a seminar which uses my story to framework some of the things I’ve learned, and things we need to know to deal with sexual brokenness in our culture.

Seminar: Spiritual Wholeness in a Sexually Broken World

The purpose of this seminar is to help us think about how we see our sexuality, understand sexual brokenness and consider strategic ways by which we can help ourselves, each other and the Church become healthier in handling human sexuality and growing as spiritual, healthy people.

This seminar is designed to run roughly four hours.

Who is this seminar designed for?

  • People who struggle with compulsive sexual behaviors
  • Those who are in relationship with people who struggle with compulsive behaviors
  • Folks who are group leaders, care givers and spiritual leaders
  • Anyone who wants the church to be spiritually and emotionally healthy
  • Parents who want to help their kids navigate a sexually broken culture
