Follower of Christ, explore the life Jesus came to provide for you.

Following Christ can be a challenging path. While we experience the hope and peace of God’s presence, we feel the stress of daily life, the seduction of a godless culture, and the guilt and shame of not being all we believe we should be for God. Jesus came to set us free into a relationship with our Creator. I recently retired from corporate work to focus on helping believers in Jesus to build a faith that endures and to cultivate a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.

The Stranger’s Conflict

In Romans 7:15-19, Paul describes a universal struggle: the desire to do good but failing and doing things we know are wrong. This internal conflict often leads to frustration and guilt, contrary to God’s intentions for us. “The Stranger’s Conflict” explores why we face this inner turmoil and offers insight into overcoming it. I talk about how you can navigate these conflicts by embracing God’s grace, ultimately finding peace with God, and living a fulfilling life as a Christ follower.

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. Growing up on a small farm in Oregon taught me the value of hard work and shaped who I am today. With degrees in biblical studies and business management, I spent 50 years working in the business world, most recently as a business analyst. Now retired, I dedicate my time to my family, my church, and sharing how we can live out a practical, everyday faith in Christ.

The Purpose Mastermind

Finding Purpose In Life

The Bible is clear that God engages each of us in relationship for a for purpose that encompasses all of our life. He doesn’t save us simply for heaven some day when we die. He knows us intimately and more deeply than we know ourselves and He has purpose for each of us here on earth.

I work with a friend named, Mark Delaney, to help people discover their purpose. Knowing and focusing on our purpose can be a powerfully transforming adventure in life. If you want to learn more about knowing your purpose and living a life of purpose, click the link here.

Brad’s Journal

Join me in a journey to build a faith that endures by cultivating a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Religion tends to place a burden on people’s lives, but following Christ is really about freedom: freedom from sin, freedom from external checklists, and freedom to become all that God designed us to be and to do all that He redeemed us to do. Join me while I explore this freedom on my journal.
