My professional life has been a dynamic exploration of service, leadership, and the power of adaptable vision. While traditions often define roles, I've come to understand that true impact lies in two fundamental forms of engagement: basic survival and adaptive renewal. I am called to champion the latter.
Across a diverse career spanning public libraries, social services, congregational leadership, and award-winning journalism, I've consistently focused on building and sustaining communities through periods of profound change. My work is driven by a belief that adaptability is not merely a strategy for survival, but a path to flourishing and discovering new forms of abundance.
I've honed a unique blend of skills tailored for this adaptive work: strategic communication, creative conflict resolution, organizational leadership, and deep human empathy. These are the tools I wield to respond faithfully and effectively to a world in constant flux, a world in desperate need of grace and care.
Whether I'm leading a library department, guiding a congregation through visionary change, or exploring the unsettling truths of history and human nature through my writing, my mission remains constant: to inspire and facilitate renewal.
Just as nature adapts to thrive, I believe we are called to embrace a divinely inspired adaptation, moving beyond mere hope of survival towards a vibrant, responsive future.
In these pages, and particularly in my Substack, The Haunted Pulpit, I invite you to join me in exploring what this adaptive renewal means for our communities, our understanding of history, and the profound human journey.
You've waited long enough to discover news that truly empowers and illuminates.
