Declaration of Stewardships and Invitation to Receive a Personal Witness
The ideas presented throughout this website and in my books represent more than thirty years of observation, study, writing, prayer, and personal seeking before God.
I do not claim to be the source of these truths.
God is the Architect.
Jesus Christ is the Redeemer through whom every soul may become whole.
The Holy Ghost reveals truth and bears witness of truth. The way to receive that witness is clear.
My stewardship has been to seek truth diligently, observe carefully, study faithfully, remain open to divine revelation, and document what God has shown me regarding the lawful architecture of human emotional and spiritual maturation.
I understand myself to be a truth seeker, observer, architect, designer, draftsman, engineer, diligent researcher, and revelator within my own sphere of stewardship.
These are not titles of authority.
They describe gifts and stewardships I continue to develop.
I claim no ecclesiastical office as prophet, seer, or revelator for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I hold no priesthood keys governing the Church.
I seek only to magnify the gifts God has entrusted to me and consecrate them to the building up of His Kingdom according to the law of consecration.
The Seven Governing Dynamics are not presented as my invention.
They are presented as what I know, through sustained observation, study, faith, and confirming revelation from the Holy Ghost, to be God’s revealed architecture of human emotional and spiritual maturation.
I do not ask anyone to accept my witness merely because I bear it.
Neither do I ask anyone to reject these principles because of my imperfections. My imperfections are evident in my work and to those who know me well.
I make the same plea to readers that Moroni makes in Mormon 9:31:
“Condemn me not because of mine imperfection, neither my father, because of his imperfection, neither them who have written before him; but rather give thanks unto God that he hath made manifest unto you our imperfections, that ye may learn to be more wise than we have been.”
I grieve the limits of my own imperfections and do not want them to become a stumbling block for other truth seekers. I hope I do far more good than harm.
We all stand before the same eternal, merciful, and just God. I humbly acknowledge my shortcomings and seek the same grace upon which we all must rely.
Instead, I extend the same invitation Moroni extended long ago.
Study.
Ponder.
Live the principles.
Observe their fruits.
Ask God with a sincere heart, with real intent, and with faith in Jesus Christ.
Receive your own witness through the Holy Ghost. Do not substitute my witness for your own. God is no respecter of persons. He invites every sincere seeker to come unto Him and know the truth for themselves.
Truth belongs to God. My hope is that these books and my witness will influence and persuade all people to come unto Christ, mature in Him, and become healed and made whole through His redeeming grace.
Every soul has both the right and the responsibility to seek Him personally.
If these writings help you better understand God, become more like Jesus Christ, preserve agency, increase charity, deepen emotional sobriety, or strengthen your ability to receive personal revelation, then I give thanks to God, from whom all truth and every good gift proceed.
The message is greater than the messenger.
If these writings endure, may they endure because they bear good fruit.
If they bear good fruit, all glory belongs to God.
If they do not, let them pass away.
