Methodology
My work sits where pastoral theology, systems thinking, and neighborhood data meet. The goal is simple: build the weekly system that carries the vision out, so leaders get their time back and can be present where it matters most.
Three Pillars
Every platform and engagement I offer traces back to one of these. Find the one that names your breakdown.
Pillar one
From proximity to presence.
Drawn from the research in Planted. Leaders and boards learn to read their ZIP code as carefully as they read Scripture, so ministry is rooted in a real place instead of an assumed one.
In practice: Community Playbook helps churches see who is already doing the work, start the partnership, and tell the story.

The message as an ignition point.
Drawn from More Than a Message. Weekly communication becomes more than a speech. It becomes a way to gather real signals from people and send them into the week with a clear next step.
In practice: Multiply builds and runs the weekly follow-through that turns a sermon into next steps.

Automate the middle layer.
The technical engine behind Community Playbook and Multiply. Custom data tools and AI workflows absorb administrative drag so leaders can spend their energy with people.
In practice: A Diagnostic finds where leadership energy is being lost, and a Sprint builds the fix.

The Sequence
From abstract vision to measurable, local impact. You do not need all four steps. Start where the pain is, and the application will help us name it.

Current Research Focus
Practical theology trains people to study a sermon after it is preached, one congregation at a time. What happens when that same discipline is instrumented in real time, across a dozen churches at once?
Very few people bring a live, multi-church data set into the classroom or the boardroom. I built the infrastructure to track what happens between one Sunday and the next, and it is already running in active congregations and youth cohorts.
The research and the infrastructure are not separate projects. The infrastructure is the research, tested in the field before it reaches a page or a board.
Where it is tested
Multiply (2 active church partners), The Immerse Project (4 churches in Cohort 1, 6 in Cohort 2), Community Playbook (12+ churches), and Dream Chaser Kids (700+ students, 6 validated partner deployments). Every framework above is stress-tested in real congregations and neighborhoods first.
The Immerse Project is a TMS Global program that I direct.

Apply
Advisory and custom engagements begin with a short application. Three parts, about five minutes. I take on a small number of engagements, so the questions help us both see if it fits.
Thank you. If it looks like a fit, I will reply with next steps. In the meantime, you can book a time directly.
