What\u2019s next? Perhaps you\u2019ve decided to chart a new course and would like to embark on a journey of transformation. This is where I can offer concrete support. I\u2019ll listen to you, evaluate your experiences and ideas together with you, and work with you to develop a plan for the next steps. Together, we\u2019ll develop a vision, concrete guidelines, and clear milestones along the way.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s more about life than about doctrine, more about direction than about rules. My goal is to create a space for life and faith, whether on a personal level or as a community.<\/p>\n

Rethinking Faith. Theology that supports, not burdens. Moving away from obligation, toward freedom.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”974745″]<\/p>\n

Personal support<\/h3>\n

Balancing life and faith can be challenging, especially during periods of deconstruction and reorientation. Would you like to discuss your situation in a supportive setting? I offer professional coaching and will guide you on your journey. The initial consultation is free; further coaching is provided for a fee.<\/p>\n

    Community building<\/h3>\n

    No one believes alone. A Christian community aims to be a space for life and faith. How can this be achieved? What role does theology play in lived Christian culture? What might a faith community of the future look like? For a community, this is an exciting journey that usually takes years. What steps can be taken to move it forward? How do we invite everyone to join in?[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”121731″]<\/p>\n

      The first step<\/h3>\n

      What could a conversation look like? What do you want to achieve for yourself personally or in your faith community? This is best clarified in an initial, free consultation.<\/p>\n

      I live in the Netherlands and work primarily with people and communities in German-speaking countries, either online via video or on-site for projects lasting several days.<\/p>\n

      I look forward to hearing from you.<\/p>\n

      Coaching and support<\/h3>\n

      My goal is to bring together what it means to be human and what it means to be a Christian. Freedom requires maturity, both in personal and theological matters. Both can be developed. A personal conversation is the best way to get started.<\/p>\n

      Shaping positive change<\/h4>\n

      How and what you believe is part of your story. This can be communicated, reflected upon and developed further. Do you want to facilitate positive change in your situation or community? I can accompany you. It’s good if you don’t have to tackle transformation alone. My motto: help where possible – and refer where necessary.<\/p>\n

      Faith and the reality of life<\/h4>\n

      Sometimes the transition between pastoral care and psychological help is fluid. Faith is not the answer to everything, even if it is sometimes presented that way. Through discussion, alternatives can often be found together that provide concrete and pragmatic help.<\/p>\n

      Experience and approach<\/h4>\n

      For decades, I have been guiding individuals and groups in churches and independent congregations. I encourage people to rethink faith and faith communities. In doing so, I like to ask uncomfortable questions\u2014in search of better answers. With this in mind, I offer help that empowers people to help themselves.<\/p>\n

      Private or for the community?<\/h4>\n

      Both are possible – personal assistance as well as community development in company.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”1″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_empty_space empty_h=”3″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
