Power of One logo The Power of One is about seeing and hearing! We live in a world where perspective matters. It can be the difference between life and death. At the root of what we see and hear is our view on the world or our worldview.

Worldview is a powerful force in shaping our behavior, commitments, and actions. The Power of One seeks to engage at the level of how we see the world and all those who live in it. It is my deepest hope that it encourages you to use your power of one to change the world starting right where you are with what you have.

We live in a time where there is so much to see and hear and we have more ability than ever to engage our world. We can see and hear so much and seeing and hearing are powerful tools. However, there are so many forces that urge us to be blind and deaf! May we all have eyes to see and ears to hear that we might be healed and become healers.
