"I have a passion to see grace-based, Spirit-empowered, non-religious, gospel-preaching churches, Christians, and leaders. I truly believe that the supernatural work of the Spirit is supposed to work in tandem with wise counsel, good planning, and leadership development. As Paul said, “we are co-laborers together with God” 1 Corinthians 3:9."
