To those who once knew me in Omaha and now question my calling as a minister:

I understand that not everyone sees the path I walk clearly. For those who seek evidence, here is the recognition of my ordination through the Universal Life Church:

My calling isn’t about titles, platforms, or popularity. It’s about stepping forward when others fall silent. In every tradition, the call to serve is sacred. As it’s written:

“The good shepherd leaves the ninety-nine and goes after the one that is lost.” – Matthew 18:12

There was once a fellow minister in my circle—someone with both means and opportunity—who chose silence when I needed guidance. Out of respect, I will not name him. But he knows. When I reached out, not in defiance but with vulnerability, I was turned away.

“If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you.” – Matthew 18:15

To that minister, I say this with peace: you have your voice on radio, television, and YouTube. But leadership isn't only about being seen—it's about seeing others. True ministry listens to the hurting and lifts up the fallen. Ego may draw applause, but Spirit demands compassion.

I do not compare my soul to yours—that is not my place. We each walk our path and face our own mirror.

“What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” – Micah 6:8

My conscience compels me to speak—not from pride, but from purpose. Let the record stand. May we all strive to be better stewards of the grace we’ve received.
