About

I help truth find its audience.

For fifteen years, I've worked at the line where institutions speak and audiences actually listen. I've grown followings into the hundreds of thousands, doubled newsletter open rates, taken quiet pulpits and made them resonate, and helped mission-driven organizations stop sounding like brochures and start sounding like people.

My work shows up in keynote rooms at the United Nations, in independent school assemblies across the Northeast, and in inboxes that get opened because the writing earns it. I write weekly about identity, faith, and survival, and the audiences that gather around that work are the same ones your institution is trying to reach.

Zayn ministered with a precision I don't see often enough.

01 / Schools & Workshops

When the curriculum meets the moment your students are actually living in.

I lead workshops and assemblies for independent and public schools on identity, belonging, and how to talk to young people about hard things: gender, faith, race, justice, without flinching and without performing.

I speak at faculty trainings, middle and upper school assemblies, parent evenings, and more. I bring the room together, then I make it think.

02 / Conferences & Keynotes

A keynote that doesn't just open the conference. It changes the conversation in the room.

I deliver plenaries and breakouts for nonprofit, faith, and civic convenings on what it actually takes to build belonging across difference, across institutions, across generations.

Recent: CSW70 (United Nations). Soulforce. Presbytery gatherings. Pride convenings. I show up prepared, on time, and ready to be quoted.

Book me for your conference
03 / Preaching

Sermons that take the text seriously and the world seriously at the same time.

I'm available for pulpit supply, guest preaching, and multi-week residencies for congregations that want scripture preached with courage, with care, and without retreat from the world we're actually in.

Listed on the NYC Pulpit Supply roster. Reformed tradition by training, ecumenical in practice. Honoraria negotiable for ongoing residencies.

Invite me to your pulpit

Digital Consulting

Strategy that moves the metric.

Beyond the pulpit and the podium, I run digital strategy for mission-driven organizations: the audits, the channel plans, the editorial systems, and the campaigns that turn quiet institutions into ones people actually hear from. Here's what that looks like in numbers.
