[Jesus] said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat, started walking on the water, and came toward Jesus. - Matthew 14:29 (NRSV)
One summer, I stayed with a family who lived by a lake while I was doing a college internship. When I told them I didn’t know how to water ski, they were determined to teach me. This wasn’t easy for me, not only because I did not have great balance...
Before I can follow Jesus, I have to step out of the boat.

The RESILIENCE conference in 2021 was so uplifting and nourishing. It was wonderful to be with other Christians around the world at this retreat, who truly care about responding to trauma in a compassionate way by teaching spiritual practices to help with grounding and healing.”
