2020 was a pivotal year of pandemic crisis in the physical, social, and spiritual well-being of our world. In recognition of the potential for positive change, and as an extension of my work with His Kingdom and Us, I embarked with a small team on developing training materials for individuals, small groups, and church ministries to use in strengthening committed Christians and raising up new believers.

The result is the emerging 7-book Joy of Christian Discipleship Series, the first 3 of which were published in October 2020, both individually and as a full 3-part Course 1. Many church groups are already enjoying success with Course 1 and are looking forward to following up with the remaining 4 study guides as they are published in 2021-22.

Presenting the Kingdom of God - As I approached “graduating into retirement” from medical practice in 2018, I strongly sensed that the Lord was calling me to change my focus from medical care and administration to actively pursue my studies about the Kingdom of God and to make my work public.

I’ve long sensed an affinity with Luke, the Gentile physician who was Paul’s New Testament traveling companion and became the author of the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts. Luke announced his intent and purpose in writing as follows:"Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been accomplished among us, just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us, it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught." – Luke 1:1-4How to do it? Was I to write a book, develop speaking materials, do PowerPoint presentations? Perhaps some of this will come, but the clear guidance I received was to use my emerging skills as a website developer as a staging ground for developing and sharing my studies and growing understanding of the Bible, faith in God, and the reality of God’s Kingdom with a broader contemporary audience in the hopes that people in these troubled times would sense my yearning and sincerity, deactivate any preconceived triggers that might distract them from the main message that I’m carrying, and hear my voice. Like Luke, I’m less of an author and more of a “compiler” – my strengths are better at sorting, gathering, and assembling what others have written.
