A Christian Lawyer’s Journey to Wholeness in Christ

Paul will share his story and journey to wholeness in Christ in three chapters: 1) Earlier years of growing up, meeting Christ, and cultivating faith; 2) Mid-life, after college and graduate studies in law and theology, and the challenge of making sense of dysfunctional family origins and putting faith in to practice (i.e. moving from the head to the heart); and 3) Wisdom years: what does it mean to be a Christian lawyer (or mechanic, doctor, etc)? And how is as Christian lawyer, mechanic, doctor different from any other highly competent and ethical person? Paul will help us to examine our lives and faith journeys and offer guidance and practices to finding wholeness in Christ.
