Why I Do This

Because I believe transformation is possible—for individuals, teams, and entire generations.

Because I believe leaders who live aligned, wholehearted lives have the power to change the world.

Because I’ve seen what happens when we stop performing and start becoming.

I Created Let there Be Light because:

I long to see people experience freedom, healing, and intimacy with Jesus.

Unlock Freedom with Resources for Personal Transformation

I believe the resources available to us—coaching, counseling, mentorship, discipleship, consulting—are not at odds with faith. In fact, when grounded in truth and courage, they can be tools God uses to set us free.
