For 25 years Bonnie has trained and resourced pastors and congregational leaders to more fully understand their roles and responsibilities as stewards by teaching practical skills for ministry and taking courageous stands. Using “process consulting” techniques, she empowers leaders and congregations to prayerfully consider God’s calling in order to gain clarity, transform anxiety into constructive energy, and to have confidence in the pathways they choose to pursue.

Her deepest joy occurs when individuals and groups discover their God-given potential and capacity to move toward the future faithfully.
