I love to write. I love to take the time to research God's word, pray and then wait for His Holy Spirit to put words on paper. So many things inspire me from relationships, to situations, to good times and bad, traveling, characters in the Bible, media, etc. I never know when God is going to tell me to start a new series. See below from a vast variety of topics. I pray you enjoy!

Kris is available for consultation (short and long-term), training events, seminars and conferences. If there something not listed or if you would like some training customized to fit your style church, feel free to contact Kris at 919.434.3611.

...it was such a pleasure to have you with us this last week. Many were challenged and found such truth in what you had to share from God's Word. You spoke to their hearts and if nothing else planted seeds of change in their lives. Dale and I were encouraged, and are now even more motivated to reach out to single adults. We are making a list of who and what this week for being more purposeful in our one on one training of our leadership, and we're contacting our prayer coordinator for purposeful praying weekly for the ministry. It was a joy just to get to know you one on one too. Thank you so much for coming and being a blessing to all of us!

Lifeway Published: No Regular Joe

2016 Leaders and Singles Retreat, Black Mountain, NC

Recently Lifeway contacted me to republish an article for their June Issue of HomeLife magazine, honoring "Fathers of all kinds." I had written about my step-dad who loved me and treated me like his own child…just like Joseph treated Jesus. What was bitter sweet about the article is that I wrote it when my dad was still alive. What a treasure to read it again, thanking God for such a wonderful earthy father as well as my Spiritual one. Click here to read complete article.
