“You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.”
Hi! Thanks for dropping by! Here's a bit about me...
I've had the privilege of planting a church in the US and establishing two ministries overseas, along with many other ministry experiences.
I focus primarily on discipleship and leadership development and serve as a mentor to some pastors and leaders in Florida and beyond. I also travel within the US for workshops and coaching and go overseas to teach and train leaders whenever possible.
Along with writing devotionals and simple Bible studies, I've written a book or two, training materials, and Bible studies for disciples, leaders, and cross-cultural missions. Check out my "shop" page!
[Keep in mind I may receive commissions when you click on links and make purchases (at no additional cost to you).]
I've served as a chaplain in a local restaurant and a small business, and I'm one of twelve experienced pastors serving with Poimen Ministries.
I love mangoes and Thai and Mexican food, but I love Jesus, my wife, my children, and my grandkids more! Susan and I are still followers of Jesus after all these years!

Here's my simple description of discipleship…
the transfer of our personal, experiential relationship with the Lord to others in a relational framework of one on one, or one with a few, requiring a mutual commitment of time, willingness, respect, patience, and discipline.
True discipleship is intentional, relational, and personal. It requires a mutual commitment based on a relationship with the Lord Jesus.
Are you missional? Today it's popular to be "on mission," but whose mission are we on? God's or ours?
The primary mission of God—the Great Commission— is expressed in all of the gospels and in Acts— making disciples, preaching the gospel, and extending God's forgiveness and reconciliation to all people in all the world. (Matt 28:19; Mark 16:15; Luke 24:46-47; John 20:21-23; Acts 1:4-5, 8)
Cross-cultural missions can take place far away or in any urban area of the US. Anyone can be a missionary, but some simple equipping before going is valuable to do it well.
One thing all pastors contend with is expectations. People may expect pastors to “have all the answers” but this is unrealistic.
This is the value of mentoring and where experience tops expertise. Mentoring is not so much being an expert but having a practical perspective based on experience.
Experience deepens and broadens a person's perspective when they've learned important lessons along the way.
A good mentor has gifts and develops skills for listening, encouraging, clarifying, and affirming others they coach, advise, teach, or train.
Trip is one of ten pastoral mentors with Poimen Ministries.
