Discipleship
Walking into the Father's love, peace and rest.
Discipleship is walking together as you learn to know the Father in deeper and deeper ways.
As you come to know His love, you begin to feel safe allowing Him into the places where you carry fear, pain, confusion or disappointment. He gently shows you where His love has not yet been fully received and helps you see yourself, your experiences and Him more clearly.
Above all, discipleship is about coming to know that you are loved.
The process of walking out our faith is not always a straight line, especially if we have experienced trauma, loss, rejection, difficult relationships or seasons where we needed to protect ourselves. We may know in our minds that God loves us while still finding it difficult to trust Him, receive from Him or rest in His love.
There is no shame in that. The Father meets us where we are and patiently leads us into greater freedom, peace and rest.
My Role in the Journey
My role in discipleship is to come alongside you with love, honesty and discernment, creating a safe place where you can be seen and heard.
You can talk honestly about what you are experiencing, ask questions and begin to understand what may be happening within you. I may offer teaching, explore Scripture with you, provide biblical counsel or help you connect with the Lord and recognise what He is showing you.
The purpose is for you to know the Father for yourself and become more confident trusting Him as He leads you.
What Discipleship can look like
Initial contact is usually through email. I will ask you a few questions so I can get to know you, hear about your journey of faith and understand what has led you to reach out.
We will then arrange a two-hour Zoom session. The session may include teaching, biblical counsel, honest conversation or time spent helping you connect with the Lord.
There is no set formula. I listen carefully to what you share and remain attentive to the Holy Spirit throughout our conversation. Each session is different because each person and each story is different.
Ongoing support
After the initial session, you are encouraged to stay in contact.
Questions may arise, difficult situations may bring something new to the surface, or you may want to talk about what you are beginning to see and understand. Regular contact gives you someone to ask questions and talk with as life happens.
Further Zoom sessions may also be helpful at times. There is no fixed program or timeline. We will consider what support would be helpful as your journey continues.
A safe and respectful space
What you share will be treated with care, dignity and confidentiality, except where there is a serious concern for your safety or the safety of another person.
I offer Christian discipleship and biblical support from my experience in ministry, teaching and walking with people through healing and restoration.
Begin the Conversation
If you feel personal discipleship may support you in this season, you are welcome to get in touch.
You do not need to explain everything in your first message. Simply tell me a little about yourself, what you are currently going through and what has led you to reach out.
From there, we can begin the conversation and consider the next step together.

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.
