About The Ranch

This site was created for you.  We all need encouragement from time to time.  Maybe we just need a boost to get through the day.  Maybe we need deeper answers to deeper needs. I believe you'll find many answers here.

Answers from a God who is very much alive and working in people's lives.  He can work in yours too. 

He cares about what you're facing:  your depression, loneliness and thoughts of suicide.  He cares about problems in your sex life:  pornography, masturbation and addictions.

He cares about you whether you're gay, straight or lesbian.  He cares if you've suffered a loss due to death or divorce.  He cares if you've got AIDS, cancer or another illness.

God has not forgotten you. 

You may feel like he has. But I assure you, he hasn't. I know he's still there.  I've heard his voice. I've felt his touch.  I've known his peace. 

I'd like to invite you to be my personal guest at The Ranch. You're welcome here.  Not just because I invited you, but because God invited you, just now. You're the reason he called me to create this site.

Whenever you're ready, come on in.
