One year ago, this message was released into the world.
Serving From The Heart was written to remind leaders that impact doesn’t come from position — it comes from purpose, humility, and service.
From camps and classrooms to churches and boardrooms, this book continues to spark meaningful conversations about faith-driven servant leadership.

It has all been surreal.
I paused before turning the page, not expecting to see my own face looking back at me. There I was (standing outside with autumn leaves behind me) under a headline about servant leadership and a new local author. So very surreal, seeing decades of experiences reduced to neat columns of print.
My eyes skimmed the rankings and accolades, but my mind wandered somewhere else entirely. I wasn’t thinking about bestseller lists. I was thinking about a fifteen-year-old camper who finally found his voice. A camp leader who stayed late to listen when no one else would. The quiet moments when leadership wasn’t announced, it was practiced.
One quote caught my attention, pulled into bold italics. It talked about remembering how people feel. I nodded without realizing it. That had always been the lesson. Long before this book existed, before the rankings and recognition, leadership had been about presence, care, and responsibility for others.
I imagined someone else folding the paper, maybe on their way to work, maybe over breakfast. I wondered if they’d see the heart on the book cover, made up of so many small figures and recognize themselves in it. Not as someone in charge, but as someone who influences others every day.
I set the paper down carefully. This wasn’t a finish line. It was a marker along the path.
The real story continues wherever people choose to serve first. And tomorrow, like every day before it, I’ll keep showing up, ready to listen, ready to learn, and ready to lead from the heart.
