The last several years have been filled with loss and pain, both professionally and personally. The journey has been difficult and discouraging. My life slowly degraded from passion and vision to one of daily survival. This allowed for the formation of ineffective habits, subtle vulnerabilities, and crippling short-sightedness. This simple book, " A Journey Out of Discouragement" is meant to communicate hope to those in ministry who are living in a place of deep discouragement.
