Not Louder. Not Flashier. Just More Honest.
I speak to churches, communities, and organizations that are ready for something deeper than surface-level faith.
Not louder. Not flashier. Just more honest.
My work sits at the intersection of scripture, inclusion, and real-life lived experience. I don’t believe in watering down the Gospel… I believe in uncovering it.
Because when you strip away fear, exclusion, and performative religion, what’s left is something powerful:
A faith rooted in love, dignity, and belonging.
Whether I’m preaching on a Sunday morning or delivering a keynote, my goal is the same:
To create space where people feel seen, challenged, and invited into a more authentic relationship with God.
What I Offer
Sermons (Guest Preaching)
Thoughtful, theologically grounded messages tailored to your congregation and context.
Keynote Speaking
Perfect for conferences, retreats, leadership gatherings, and special events.
Workshops & Teaching Sessions
Interactive, practical sessions designed to help your community grow in understanding and application.
All messages can be customized to align with your
audience, denomination, and organizational goals.
Signature Topics
LGBTQ+ Inclusion in the Church
A compassionate and honest look at what it means to truly create belonging, not just tolerance. This message helps churches move from fear and uncertainty into clarity, empathy, and action.
Developing an Inclusive Worship Environment
Inclusion doesn’t happen by accident. This session walks through practical ways churches can create worship spaces where people feel safe, valued, and fully welcome… without losing theological depth.
Reconciled in Christ (RIC) Preparation & Support
For churches considering the journey toward becoming a Reconciled in Christ (RIC) congregation, this work requires more than a single conversation. It requires care. Clarity. And a willingness to engage both faith and fear honestly. I partner with churches at any stage of the process to help create space for thoughtful dialogue, education, and discernment. Whether your congregation is just beginning to ask questions or already moving toward a vote, I provide guidance that is both theologically grounded and deeply human.
What This Can Look Like:
- Teaching sessions to introduce LGBTQ+ inclusion through a faith-based lens
- Facilitated conversations that allow for questions, concerns, and honest dialogue
- Breaking down commonly misunderstood scripture in a non-combative way
- Support for leadership teams navigating the process
- Guest preaching to help frame the heart behind the journey
Breaking Down the “Clobber Passages”
A deep dive into the most commonly cited scriptures used against LGBTQ+ individuals, unpacked with context, theology, and integrity. This session replaces confusion with understanding and opens the door for meaningful conversation.
Reclaiming Faith After Harm
For those deconstructing, questioning, or rebuilding their relationship with God after spiritual hurt.
Additional Topics
Jesus Without the Filter
Exploring the life and teachings of Jesus apart from cultural distortion and religious baggage.
Creating Space for Doubt in Faith Communities
Why doubt isn’t the enemy of faith… and how churches can make room for it.
When Faith Feels Heavy
Addressing burnout, shame-based theology, and the pressure to “get it right.”
Faith That Doesn’t Require You to Shrink
Especially powerful for women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and anyone who has felt “too much” or “not enough” in church spaces.
From Fear-Based Faith to Love-Based Faith
A message that hits hard for people coming out of rigid or legalistic backgrounds.
The Difference Between Conviction and Control
Helping people untangle authentic spiritual growth from fear-driven obedience.
Belonging Before Belief
Rethinking how we welcome people into faith spaces without conditions.
Custom Topics
Not every congregation is the same. And not every message should be either.
If you’re navigating something specific as a community… a transition, a tension, a question you can’t quite name yet… I offer fully customized sermons and keynote messages built around your context.
This isn’t plug-and-play content.
It’s thoughtful, intentional, and shaped around what your people actually need to hear right now.
What This Can Include:
- Sermons tailored to your current series or liturgical season
- Messages addressing specific challenges within your congregation
- Theological exploration of topics your community is wrestling with
- Keynotes built around your event theme or audience
- Collaborative planning with church leadership to ensure alignment
How It Works
We start with a conversation. I’ll learn about your community, your goals, and what feels important in this moment… and from there, I’ll build something that speaks directly into it. Because the most meaningful messages aren’t the most polished ones… They’re the ones that feel like they were meant for the people in the room.
If you’re looking for a speaker who will meet people where they are, challenge them thoughtfully, and leave them with something that actually sticks… I’d love to be part of what you’re building.
