The Full Story

My journey started in the quiet months of the pandemic, when a loved one stepped away from the Church and I found myself wrestling with questions, grief, and a testimony that suddenly felt tired.

The pandemic cracked a lot of things open for me.
When someone I loved left the Church, I felt lost — spiritually, emotionally, relationally. I didn’t know where to place my hurt or my hope.

Rebuilding a Lazy Testimony was exactly what I needed. It was a quiet, steady reminder that my relationship with God could be rebuilt plank by plank. It helped me breathe again. It reminded me that God is patient, personal, and willing to meet us wherever we are.

Then I found Bridges by David B. Ostler, and suddenly I had tools.
Words.
Understanding.
Compassion.

It changed the way I minister. It helped me see how to stay connected — lovingly, gently, Christlike — to those who doubt or differ.

This blog is built on those two foundations:
renewing faith and building bridges.
