The Problem, The Promise, and The ACORN Model™
The truth is, change is hard, but it’s essential for spiritual growth. Many people feel paralyzed by the fear of the unknown, stuck in the gap between where they are and where they want to be. I’ve spent my life helping people bridge that gap, and my work is built on a proven framework for spiritual and personal transformation: The ACORN Model™. My promise to you is to provide a clear, evidenced-based pathway to spiritual growth that moves you from feeling stuck tothriving. The ACORN Model™ is the result of years of hands-on experience and deep academic research, designed to help you not only understand change but to embrace it asa sacred part of your journey.
My Journey: From Pastor to Change Navigator
For more than three decades, I’ve had the privilege of serving in ministry. Through more than 20 years of full-time pastoral leadership,I learned that guiding people through change is at the very heart of the journey. My experience taught me that guiding people through change is at the very heart of pastoral leadership. This hands-on work, combined with a deep passion for leadership and renewal, led me to pursue a Doctor of Ministry degree, focusing my research on spiritual formation, leadership development, and the process of sustainable growth. The initial result was my dissertation, and later the development of The ACORN Model™.
The ACORN Model™ & The H3 Framework™
The ACORN Model™ is a simple, intuitive, and cyclical process for spiritual growth. It is founded on five sacred rhythms we must practice to flourish in faith and life. The practical outcomes of this model are measured by a powerful framework, rooted in my doctorate-level research, that I call The Head, Heart, and Hands (H3) Framework.
- Head (Knowledge): You will gain a clear understanding of the biblical truths and principles that guide our growth.
- Heart (Character): You will cultivate a transformed inner life, building a character rooted in Christ.
- Hands (Habits/Skills): You will develop the tangible habits and skills needed to put your knowledge and character into dailypractice, creating a sustainable pattern of growth.
Every piece of content I create is filtered through this model and framework to ensure you are receiving the right tools to grow in every area of your life.
