I’m a writer, teacher and grassroots Christian leader based in Washington, DC. My focus is helping you to connect with a deeper and more authentic experience of the Inward Teacher, Jesus Christ. Together with an amazing community of fellow workers, I help embolden and connect a growing and deepening movement of radical disciples.
