M. Scott Peck said it right when he started his bestselling book, The Road Less Traveled with these words, “Life is difficult!”

The Christian faith promises that the teachings of Jesus help us navigate life’s challenges with courage and confidence. But once you are in middle of that hardship, it is hard to know how to lean into those teachings when everything inside says, “Run! Hide! This makes no sense!”

I believe these moments are the ones that make us. These are the times where we get to choose what we’re about, what we believe in, and what we’ll fight for. We can choose to either back out or dig deep. And we don’t have to do it alone.

I’m Piet. As someone who’s been doing the “faith thing” for decades, I’m quite familiar with the ups and downs of the journey. I will not give you superficial answers to complicated questions. Instead, I’m here to walk with you and encourage you as we keep the faith together.

No matter what you are facing, you can keep on healing and growing by continuing to say “yes” to the kind of life that may not be easy but can be deeply satisfying and full of meaning. And I’m here to support that effort.
