Testimonials

"S."
"I sat with Roger for counsel regarding my guilt and regret on past sin in my life. He offered reassurance regarding God’s grace as well as softly addressing the broken covenant with my spouse. It was a breakthrough for me. Roger is wise in the practical application of Biblical principles. He helped me face the consequences of the intrinsic burden of sin. It brought me to a better place and renewed relationship with Jesus Christ. Thank you Roger for helping me heal."

"D."
"Broken bones often need to be painfully reset in order to heal and grow. Roger does that for broken people. His counsel, while steeped in deep, palpable spiritual wisdom, has always been unflinchingly direct - far more practical than any spiritual direction I’ve received elsewhere."

"K." 
"I look forward to my weekly meetings with Roger. Discussing Scripture, and pursuing deeper understanding and relationship with God, has brought back my joy! It's been many years since I felt His joy fill my heart and mind. Thanks to direction, wisdom, and encouragement from Roger, I have grown to love God and people more. I have yet to meet a pastor whose ministry is more dedicated to the pursuit of peace and love than Roger's, and I am blessed to be under his leadership and counsel."

"R."
"Roger was a great help to us. We were going through a tough time with infidelity, and with a couple of one-hour sessions, (one with each of us) he helped us tremendously by giving us the religious side of it. He was such an inspiration to both of us. Did more for us than 10 sessions with a counselor did. If you’re looking for guidance, he is one of the best. Doesn’t pull any punches, just tells it like it is."

"C."
"When I first heard we had to undergo premarital counseling for Roger to do our ceremony I was paranoid. I thought somehow it was going to be a negative experience and he would tell us we couldn’t get married. That couldn’t be farther from the truth! It was a beautiful eye opening experience. He brought up topics that we had not previously discussed and worked through everything with us as a team. We were so comfortable because his demeanor is so calm, non-judgmental and welcoming. We often reflect back on that experience, still 2 years later, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything! I would highly recommend Roger to anyone seeking pastoral counseling!"

"M."
"Whenever I have any questions or concerns about anything in my personal life or my walk with God, I know Roger will meet me with patience, understanding, and deep knowledge. He's very flexible with me and my schedule, and I never feel bad about asking for insight. I've always gotten very scripturally sound advice from him and practical ways to put it into action. He's not afraid to point out flaws in ways of thinking, but through asking questions in an effective and non-judgemental way."
