I am a spiritual formation and discipleship guide with more than ten years of pastoral ministry experience and a passion for helping people notice and respond to God’s presence in their everyday lives. I hold a Master of Divinity degree from Asbury Theological Seminary and am a certified spiritual director through Kairos University. My approach is rooted in listening, prayer, Scripture, and the historic Christian tradition. Whether you are seeking a deeper relationship with God, navigating a season of transition, discerning God’s direction, or longing for a more intentional life of discipleship, I provide a compassionate and grace-filled space to walk alongside you. I believe spiritual growth happens not through striving harder, but through learning to abide in Christ and becoming attentive to the work of the Holy Spirit. It is a privilege to accompany others as they discover God’s faithfulness and grow into the people He created them to be. God’s redeeming grace has shaped my adult life. After more than ten years in pastoral ministry and involvement with Al-Anon and Celebrate Recovery, I am now pursuing a Master’s in Counseling.

What to expect, in Chad’s words

Sessions with me are conversational, prayerful, and centered on helping you become more attentive to God’s presence in your life. Together, we will explore Scripture, spiritual practices, discernment, and the challenges and opportunities you are facing. My role is not to provide all the answers, but to listen well, ask thoughtful questions, and walk alongside you as you deepen your relationship with Christ and grow in faithful discipleship.
