Creative Communication

I love honing a message expressed through words and visuals. As part of a creative team near Indianapolis, I've helped develop new ministry tools like Rock Your Meeting (writing, web design, video editing), Conversation Art Cards (web design), and Students Reaching Students (copy editing).

Communication Coach

I equip Cru staff members and students with communication skills that will amplify their impact for Christ. These skills will enable them to speak in front of groups with confidence, lead musical worship expressively, and connect more effectively with their audience.

Bible Study Methods Coach

Twice a year a Bible Study Methods class is offered to new Cru staff members. After every large group lecture, the students split up into small study groups to practice the skills they've learned. Last year I became a small group coach for this class, and I love it!

With all my heart, I believe that this is God’s heart:

to see “a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne” in worship! (Revelation 7:9, NIV) God wants to redeem His creation, and He wants us to help.

Together we can help fulfill God’s vision to redeem the world. Will you join me?

Maximizing a Proven Resource
October 31, 2020
Recently, some of my teammates had the opportunity to do some research for one of Cru’s evangelistic websites, EveryStudent.com. This site was developed years ago as a place for students to explore questions about life and God. It is now available in 40 languages and is viewed by people around …Continue reading
An Exciting Change
September 25, 2020
I’m excited to tell you that my role in Cru is changing! As you know, I’ve been coordinating communication training conferences and coaching at them. While I love coaching people in their speaking skills, the event-planning and promotion side of my job has become less and less enjoyable over time. …Continue reading
Conversation Art Cards
September 25, 2020
COVID-19 has forced all of us to make changes in how we live and work. But one thing that has not changed is God’s desire to see people from every tribe, tongue and nation united in worship before His throne. Like most (if not all) ministries and churches, Cru’s evangelism …Continue reading
