Big & Unexpected News!

Life can change in an instant. In this heartfelt episode of Connecting Faith and Life, I share two major updates—one very unexpected and personal, and another that marks a new chapter for Proclaim Ministries.

First, I open up about a serious hand injury that required surgery and recovery. What began as an ordinary morning suddenly turned into an ER visit, stitches, and weeks of physical therapy. Yet through the pain, I experienced God’s presence and the power of prayer in ways I never had before. The love, compassion, and encouragement I received from family, friends, and our ministry community reminded me that we don’t always need to “fix” people’s problems—sometimes just being present makes all the difference.

Second, I reveal the exciting new direction for Proclaim Ministries. We are sharpening our focus: helping kids and teens connect faith and life—and equipping the adults who disciple them with clarity and competence.

This means new content, a fresh framework (the One10 Faith & Life Framework), and renewed commitment to serving churches and families worldwide.

This episode is both a story of gratitude in hardship and a vision for the future. Whether you’re a parent, youth leader, or simply passionate about reaching the next generation, I invite you to join us on this journey.
