PSYCHO-SPIRITUAL RESOURCES FOR FINDING JOY & TOTAL WELL-BEING

It’s a new decade!  My mission is to help you grow to live that FULL LIFE Jesus promised in John 10, enabling you to enjoy VIBRANT MENTAL HEALTH!

As a Christian psychologist I was always interested in mental health, and always believed that the answers to TRUE WELLNESS were in the Bible.  One day in 2004, after a 40-year quest, I suddenly made a stunning discovery … an ancient blueprint for vibrant mental health as valid today as it was 2000 years ago!

Here’s what you need to know for making the most of this website:

WHO NEEDS EMOTIONAL WELLNESS? Those who want to find and fulfill the “divine design” for their lives!

WHAT IS EMOTIONAL WELLNESS? The glow of vibrant mental health that comes from LIVING THE BEATITUDES, God’s “royal road map” for being your unique best — using your highest qualities for a noble purpose.

IS EMOTIONAL WELLNESS NECESSARY FOR CHURCHES AS WELL AS INDIVIDUALS? Yes!  Emotional wellness is essential for churches that want to make biblical teaching attractive and avoid “tip of the iceberg” spirituality, which may result in church-leaving due to unmet emotional needs.

(*VIBRANT MENTAL HEALTH is my term for true emotional and spiritual wellness, the oneness with God that “shows on your face.”  [See Psalm 34:5, 2 Corinthians 3:18, Exodus 34:29, Acts 6:15].  My prayer and goal is that you experience this well-being, characterized by an inner experience and outward expression of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control [Galatians 5:22-23])
