ABOUT
"BEFORE YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD AROUND YOU,YOU MUST FIRST CHANGE THE WORLD WITHIN YOU."
Many people who get stuck in life and can’t figure out why are often bumping up against an internal obstacle. These internal factors often have a greater impact on your life than your outside circumstances. I learned this the hard way as a young man who didn't believe he was valuable and therefore sabotaged any love that came my way.
Because of my own personal story of overcoming many internal struggles, I now have a deep passion to help you understand your inner world so that your soul can prosper. I want to see you become fully alive, equipped for your God-given mission, and prepared to change the world!
Whether you're on a journey to find your own divine identity and fulfill your God-given purpose, or whether you're a politician looking for an inspired strategy to strengthen your city, or perhaps you’re an entrepreneur searching for solutions and growth for your business, I want to help you to transform your world from the inside out so that you may experience profound prosperity in your life and in the lives around you.

KRIS & KATHY'S STORY

I was born the eldest of three children in Sunnyvale, California, in January of 1955. Sadly, I lost my father when I was three years old in a deadly boating accident, and although I had two stepfathers, my grandfather had the most profound influence on my life because of the unconditional love he lavished on me.
I didn’t know God growing up, but I always had a sense that He was not too far away from me. When I was fifteen years old, something amazing happened that shaped the course of my personal history with the Lord. My mother became seriously ill and was covered with psoriasis, and out of desperation I cried out to God and said, “God if you are real — if you heal my mom — I will find out who you are, and I will serve you the rest of my life.”
To my shock, an audible voice responded, “My name is Jesus Christ, and you have what you requested!” When I woke up the next morning, my mom was completely healed! About a week later, the voice spoke to me again saying, “My name is Jesus Christ. You said that if I healed your mother, you would serve Me, and I am waiting!” Shortly after this life-changing experience, I came to know God during the Jesus Movement.
I met Kathy when I was fifteen and she was twelve. I lived in Sunnyvale, California, and Kathy lived about thirty miles away in Fremont. Love drew us together, and by the time Kathy was thirteen, we were engaged to be married (I wouldn’t recommend this plan to anyone today but it’s our story and God has been faithful to bless us).
In 1975, we were happily married! At the time I worked at an automotive repair shop in Sunnyvale doing what I loved to do: repairing cars and managing people. Kathy was the bookkeeper. We moved to San Jose for a couple of years, but in the midst of the fast pace of life, I had a serious nervous breakdown. We decided to move to a small town in the mountains of the Trinity Alps of California called Lewiston, a town of 900 people, so that I could get well. To my dismay, the slower mountain pace didn’t help. Instead, I grew worse by the day, struggling to find peace in the storm. About three and a half years passed before I finally received deliverance from the spiritual torment that had been plaguing me, and this victory became a rod of authority for me in ministry.
I wrote about this process into freedom in my book,
Spirit Wars.
A couple of years later, we moved to a town called Weaverville...
