Christian chaplain, biblical counselor, and mental-health worker with 40+ years of experience standing with people in fragile places.
A chaplain walks alongside you through life's hardest moments, offering a grounded presence and prayer when words fall short. This calling began with listening to neighbors in Sparta, Michigan, and grew into Light in the Storm, a space where faith and compassion meet real life.
In Sparta, Michigan, we walk beside you with a listening ear and a steady, supportive presence, helping you find peace in life's difficult moments.
We hold space for your spiritual questions and struggles, offering prayer and reflection when you want them.
You can speak freely. What you share stays with us, kept private and handled with gentle respect.
When you're not sure what to say or who to turn to, we're here to hear you out, no matter the hour.
Your story is yours, and we honor it. There's no judgment here, only a quiet place to be honest.
We don't rush you or push you. We walk at your pace, offering steady support through whatever you're facing.
As part of the Sparta community, we're here to support neighbors, friends, and families in tough seasons.
When my husband passed, I didn't want advice. I wanted someone to sit with me. That's what Light in the Storm offered, a calm presence in my kitchen on those hardest days.

Finding out about the cancer diagnosis shook our whole family. Talking through it with someone grounded in faith gave us a way to breathe again, together. We're grateful for that steadiness.

I moved to Sparta last year and didn't know a soul. Light in the Storm offered a listening ear that helped me find my footing in a new place. It felt less like a service and more like friendship.

The weeks after my divorce were heavy. Having someone who listened without judgment, who prayed with me when I asked, reminded me I wasn't walking through it alone. That meant everything.
