The more I discover you,
the less I can ignore—
or claim ignorance of what you ask.
You say to “Follow my commands”
You call me to meekness,
living in humility;
to die to myself—
so as to become holy, perfect.
You say to “Love one another”
You offer more than commands.
You lived among us,
showed us your way—
revealing to us that love is sacrifice.
You say to “Be strong and courageous”
True strength comes when I let go.
Against the fragility of a shattered ego—
no weapon can prosper.

I am a Christian in recovery following four decades of active addiction. I have a B.S. in Psychology and an M.A. in Theological Studies from Colorado Christian University, and I will be pursuing an M.A. in Divinity at Denver Seminary in May 2021. My focus is on evangelism and apologetics, doctrinal studies, and working with individuals struggling with mental health and substance abuse issues. To me, there is no "higher power" than Jesus Christ, who broke the chain of addiction in my life. I will be seeking a position as a prison chaplain and/an associate or teaching pastor upon completing my MDiv. I am currently looking for a position at a drug and alcohol rehab, where I intend to work during the three-year master's program at Denver Seminary. I believe in the power in the Name of Jesus to break every chain. I believe counseling must include discipline, and discipling must include counseling.
