Executive Pastor of Growth
As an Executive Pastor of Discipleship, my passion lies in fostering environments where individuals can truly grow in their faith. I believe, just as Jesus primarily discipled his followers in close-knit groups, the power of transformation unfolds most effectively within small communities.
Throughout my experience, I’ve witnessed countless “light bulb moments” within these groups. People surrounded by supportive peers, engaging with scripture in new ways, and experiencing a deeper understanding of God’s word. These moments of personal revelation and growth are what truly motivate me in this role.
To foster an environment of spiritual growth within these groups I utilize the HEAR method of scripture journaling. Below you will find a more detailed explanation of this method.
At the heart of a discipleship group is spiritual growth. The HEAR method is just a way to foster an environment for that to happen.
H (HIGHLIGHT): What is a verse or verses that stood out to you in your reading?

A (APPLY): What is the principle to live by today? How can this help me? What is God saying to me?
R (RESPOND): How will I respond to the application in my relationships and/or situations this week?
