Speaking
Speaker | Preacher | Author | Coach
Welcome! I'm PC, a passionate speaker dedicated to empowering individuals and groups to live with purpose, faith, and courage to change. Through a love affair with Jesus and practical, innovative strategies for personal growth, I help people overcome messiness, strengthen their faith, and unlock the life God has planned for them.
A BIT ABOUT ME
As a follower of Jesus, I’ve experienced firsthand how grace, wisdom, and hope can turn struggles into celebrations. My walk alongside Jesus has been one of faith, disruption, and transformation, and I cannot help but share that with others with authenticity and discernment. Over the years, I’ve been able to speak at churches, conferences, leadership seminars, corporate events, camps, and college chapels, equipping people to overcome adversity and walk in their God-given potential.
My message is simple: nearness to Jesus is our greatest good. Through faith, purpose, and, sometimes, relentless wrestling, we can navigate life's challenges and be nearer to God today than we were yesterday. Jesus is closer in the real mess than the fake put-together, and He has never stopped calling your name.
Whether seeking personal transformation, striving to lead toward positive change, or overcoming life's hardships, I bring spiritual wisdom and practical, innovative insights to help you move forward with confidence and purpose.
MY MISSION
My mission is to inspire and empower people to live genuinely in their faith, pursue the heart of Jesus, and take steps to achieve their God-given dreams. When we align our lives with God's kingdom here on earth, we start to look more and more like what we were intended to be.
I’m passionate about speaking life to people struggling with doubt, defeat, fear, or uncertainty. I am not afraid of those spaces and want to remind others of the hope and strength that come through nearness to Jesus. Every message I deliver is rooted in Scripture and grounded in experiential advice that can be applied in everyday life, messy though it may be.
WHAT I SPEAK ABOUT
As a Christian motivational speaker, I address a variety of topics that bridge faith and personal growth, including:
Beneath Broken Machines: under all our broken pieces of well-constructed faith, God never stopped calling your name
Overcoming Distorted Images of God: Our broken and false images of God need to be healed toward truth
New Heart with New Cravings: Nothing rivals the moment(s) you give your heart to Jesus because with it comes new desires for life
An Arrow Drawn: How do you wait in the tension of not being launched [yet] into your next season
Disrupting Yourself to Leave a Legacy: Being willing to jump to a whole new curve to leave a more substantial legacy
Beyond Your Understanding: we are promised peace, but what do you do when you can’t recognize the peace?
I look forward to speaking for your event and creating something with you for your group.
WHY HIRE ME?
With more than 2 decades of professional and pastoral ministry experience, I know the weight of deciding to bring a speaker to your congregation or event. When you invite me to speak at your event, you're not getting routine talks I’ve done a hundred times—you’re getting a message rooted in pastoral care, authentically personal experience, and written for your event and your needs. Here's what you can expect:
Pastoral discernment and care: I will work WITH you to find out what you and your group need from our time together.
Authenticity and Personal Connection: I am not afraid of the messy spaces we all navigate. I will speak from the messy places where I have connected with God and others.
Inspiring & Uplifting: You will leave feeling encouraged, motivated, and equipped to face any challenge with faith and perseverance.
Fresh and Applicable Talks: While I have metaphors and stories I may use again, I do not have “my talks” for you to choose from. I want to know what you need, and I will write and prepare for YOU.
TESTIMONIALS
“PC is a man with an aptitude for looking head-on at the ways the church has distorted and destructively misapplied the essential message of Christ–he is also someone with a zeal to be a humble, repentant voice for reconciliation with a hurting world.”
-Stuart Erny, Campus Ministry Director
“Sometimes I am with other Christians and get motivated, simply out of guilt. This motivates me for about 1 day. With other believers, I hear their honest struggle, but without hope. In my conversations with PC, I hear raw authenticity, where there are no wrong questions and all are allowed. I also hear a heart that looks beyond himself to One who loves him where he is at and woos him, without shame, to a better place.”
– Todd Davis, Counselor and Professor
