About the Writer

I’m Bruce. I’m a licensed clinical professional counselor and author who lives in the Treasure Valley area of Idaho. I’m married, have four children (2 at home and 2 grown), am a retired U.S. Air Force veteran, and have over 15 years of ministerial leadership experience in various church settings and positions. My writing focuses on Christian community, discipleship, leadership (but really followership), marriage/couples, mental health (including trauma and spiritual harm and religious abuse), and other faith issues. He is the author of Three Commands: Jesus’s Fulfillment of the Law Through Love, Certainty Kills: A Primer for Approaching the Bible with a God-honoring & Neighbor-loving Openness, and the creator of the Enhance: Weekly Relationship Check-in Journal.
