Going through challenges? I'm here to help!

    This show is for you! We're here to help you and answer your questions.

    In-depth and thoughtful responses.

    Not sure what you should do next? Join us and we'll figure it out together.

The Empower Hour

This program exists to be a place to join other followers of Jesus weekly for:

  • Pastoral Counseling

    Get pastoral help with your tough challenges and life setbacks. Learn the Biblical truths and divine perspectives that will help you find the comfort of God in the middle of every storm. Here when you need us and building you up in preparation of future storms.

  • Bible Study + Discipleship

    Learn and grow as a follower of Jesus. You'll learn about the Bible, theology, discipleship, life application, cultural engagement, spiritual development, and personal growth. New topics brought weekly and we're always ready to discuss what's on your mind.

  • Missional Empowerment

    Though we sometimes need to focus on "us," in the big picture it's not all about us. We'll help you discover your unique calling, become an empowered Christian mobilized to embrace your full potential and live out your highest purpose for God's Kingdom.

Careful Bible Reading

Read and study God's Word with me. We will carefully read the Bible together and you'll learn how to read the Bible in context and understand it.

Topical Teachings

We get into theology, philosophy, apologetics, false religions, concerning pastor teachings, cultural topics and more. We can pull up websites, video clips, etc. and examine others' teachings. I'm not afraid to look into it right on the spot. Let's get into it!
