Bio
Hello, I'm thankful that you are taking the time to read some of my thoughts, and advice based on many years of mistakes and yes, a little education. I am a former licensed counselor and pastor. I now make my living running an insurance company and hosting a morning radio show. Being a counselor didn't stop me from hitting a midlife crisis. I began questioning everything from my self-worth to my spiritual beliefs. And if that wasn't enough, surprise! I found out I would be getting divorced after almost 20 years of marriage.
This would lead to a journey that many of you have also traveled. And the journey of divorce, heart ache, midlife, loss of income, and the list goes on...can be one of great darkness, which is heighted by anxiety, depression, and soul searching. When the "storm" hits (and you believe in God) it is extremely easy to feel as though He has abandoned you. If you don't believe in God, it can confirm your lack of belief.
My journey included a decision to go from pastor to agnostic. And I realize that last sentence "rocks" people of faith, and especially those Christian who know me personally. So, please follow my journey back home, and understand I don't believe I ever truly left. Well actually, I don’t believe He ever left me.
This is a blog for those who are in pain. You are near and dear to my heart,
