PHILEMON 1:6 (NIV)
Maybe thoughts like these stop you:
“What if I mess up?”
“Where do I start, and how much should I share?”
“Will I look stupid, judgmental, or like ‘one of those people?’”
“How do I talk about Jesus within my story?”
“Who am I to share my faith story when so many people are more qualified than me?”
You're not alone.
Many Christians admit to being unprepared...so they end up saying nothing, but wishing they had. Opportunity lost.
Let's start by taking the pressure off of ourselves by realizing it's God's story we are sharing. Our story is the vehicle God uses to make Himself known to our circle of influence.
Your personal journey of faith - with its twists and turns, victories and defeats - is a powerful testament to God's grace, love, and transformative power. Our job is to learn how to share it. Your Story for God's Glory will prepare you to do just that.
God has uniquely equipped me to be your guide. I have been coaching executives to create and deliver presentations that connect with their audience and inspire them to take action for the last 20 years.
I have also had to overcome my own struggles with sharing my faith. I understand the hesitations, the doubts, and the fears that can hold you back. But rest assured, together we can work through all of that and help you share your faith story effectively and from the heart.
You can have the confidence and courage to step up so God can step in and make Himself known through you to anyone who hears.

Romans 10:15 (MSG)
"The Story Mapping process was powerful. When I finished it, I just stared for several minutes at the piece of paper that held the pains and triumphs of my days on earth. And slowly I realized what I was actually staring at was God's resumé of faithfulness.
I could see His fingerprints all over my highs and lows in ways I never had before. I was moved to tears of gratitude, recognizing in a deeper way that every moment I had lived was part of the making of me...the making of my story." -Christine S.
