I have been a pastor for 23 years with the Great Commission Association of Churches, and have preached a popular "Faith Lift" conference on the same topic for the last 15. Recently I revamped the conference, renamed it "The Hidden Life" and included lessons from the last four years. In both the conference, and the book, I strive to speak with an openness which helps free other people from the need to hide or pretend to be spiritual, in order to enjoy true faith. I live in the Land of Enchantment (New Mexico) with my wife and seven kids.
