Overview

"In an increasingly polarized society, we're faced with social dilemmas and disagreements every day, from economic systems to elections, pronouns to pop culture. These topics can derail families, friendships, workplaces, churches, and of course, the dreaded Facebook comments section. Followers of Jesus often find themselves stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to navigating tough conversations with both grace and truth. Do we ""take a stand"" and share God's truth, even if it alienates or offends the other person? Or do we remain silent out of kindness and respect, but wonder if we're being untrue to our values? The Jesus Method offers a different way: a simple, clear model for dealing with social dilemmas the way Jesus would, giving you confidence that you can respond with wisdom and love no matter what hot-button issues come your way. By examining Jesus' mindset and approach to tough situations - not just WHAT He said, but HOW He said it - you will discover a path that alleviates the pressure to ""get it right"" and helps you get unstuck and move forward with those you love. The Jesus Method doesn't tell you what to think or what stance to take. Instead, it gives you a process for navigating the messy middle of truth and love, honesty and self-control while engaging in Jesus's #1 priority: relationships."

With a Bachelor of Science in Quantitative Biophysics from Manchester University, a master's and PhD. in Cognitive Psychology from Notre Dame University and a Master of Divinity from Moody Theological Seminary, Ted's desire to invest in the effectiveness of the local church continues in his role as Lead Pastor.

He's driven to see the local church continue to be a place of hope, healing and authentic compassion in action.
