I'm calling this a love letter, because that's the way I hope you experience it. If you've glimpsed yourself and/or feel despair, dread or fear, there's really, really Good News. Check it out.
Is one of your resolutions to grow in your faith or go to church more in 2021? Great decision! If you don't have a church, consider visiting mine: Harborside Christian Church. You can attend from the comfort of your living room.
​
We're starting the year with a church-wide fast and a series on the heart. Here's the first message. We're also reading through the foundational Gospel of John, the basis of the Love Letter Jesus video I posted above. Consider reading through it. It can change your life if you let it.
You can subscribe by clicking on the video link and subscribing to the Harborside Channel.

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free,19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
Jesus, Luke 4:18-19

Workshops & Presentations...​
Connecting with people face to face can be transformative. I've presented at churches, radio programs, community centers, and at international recovery conferences with workshops that are inspiring, informative, and brimming with practical application. Here are a few recent workshop titles:
​
Write to Inspire: Sharing your experience to heal & help.
Discover how to find your unique voice and tap your life experience to help yourself and others. Explore your life stories, write your personal mission statement, define inspirational themes, learn about practical tools to build your platform, and more. This non-sectarian class is open to people of all faith traditions.
Cultural Codependency: When culture clashes with healthy recovery.
Our native or adopted culture—whether expat, religious, or socio-economic—may clash with healthy recovery--creating, contributing, or amplifying codependent patterns with major impact. As a first generation American of Italian parents who migrated later in life, I’ve experienced this first-hand. This workshop seeks to help people identify, address, and navigate the potential pitfalls of cultural codependency.
Embracing Life: Letting God determine your destiny.
With frank, hard-won insight, I outline ten God-centered life lessons and encouragement that can be applied to every area of life, especially when facing challenges and unexpected detours. Based on my Bible study of the same name, this workshop will help you see how God can use even the most challenging life transitions and losses to work good for, in, and through you.
Here's a complete list of my workshop topics or I invite you to share what your community's specific needs.
