A Heart for the Next Generation
"Your Next Big Step was written from the heart of a parent, praying for a child to find the academic environment that would strengthen their faith and prepare them for God's work."
Vision
The vision behind Your Next Big Step is deeply personal. As a parent, I wrote this book with my own child in mind—praying they would find the academic institution that not only challenges them intellectually, but also strengthens their faith and aligns with God’s calling on their life.
I know firsthand the weight parents carry in wanting their children to thrive, stay grounded, and walk in purpose. My hope is that this book becomes a trusted companion for families—sparking meaningful conversations, encouraging prayerful decision-making, and helping students see education not as a finish line, but as a formative season God uses to shape leaders, servants, and Christ-centered professionals.
Ultimately, my vision is to see a generation of students step confidently into God’s plan—choosing paths that honor Him, cultivate their calling, and position them to make a lasting impact wherever He sends them.
About the Book
A guide rooted in prayer, discernment, and God’s calling.
Your Next Big Step was written to help students and families navigate one of the most defining decisions of their lives—not just academically, but spiritually. In a culture that often pressures students to chase prestige, rankings, or expectations, this book invites a different approach: one rooted in prayer, discernment, and God’s calling.
Rather than asking only “Where should I go?” this book challenges students to first ask, “Who is God calling me to become?” College and career decisions shape identity, faith, and future impact. This resource equips students to approach those decisions with clarity, confidence, and biblical wisdom—aligning their education with purpose, not pressure.
More than a college guide, it is an invitation to trust God with the next season—and to take that step with courage and conviction.
For Parents
As parents, we want more than academic success for our children—we want them to grow in wisdom, character, and faith. We want them in an environment where their gifts are nurtured, their values are strengthened, and their calling is taken seriously.
I wrote this book while praying for my own child—asking God to lead them to the academic institution where they could thrive spiritually, academically, and personally. My hope is that this resource gives parents confidence that God is actively involved in the process, and that no decision has to be made alone.
"This season is not just about choosing a school—it’s about stewarding a calling."
For Students
Choosing what’s next can feel overwhelming. There’s pressure to pick the “right” school, the “right” major, and the “right” path—often before you even know who you are becoming.
Your Next Big Step is here to remind you that God is not asking you to figure everything out—He’s inviting you to walk with Him. This book helps you slow down, ask better questions, and discover how your faith, gifts, and purpose connect to your education and future career.
