Behind the Writing
The Ideas Are Mine. Here's How They Become Posts.
An honest note on how I use AI, and why.
Every post here starts with something I’ve lived, learned, or worked through with clients over three decades of Christian executive coaching, counseling, and consulting. The ideas are mine. The frameworks — CHEW™, SALVES, the four relationships — are mine. The theology comes from thirteen years under Tim Keller’s teaching, binge listening to other solid Gospel-centered preachers for 40 years, an M.A. in Christian Counseling from Gordon-Conwell, and my current doctoral studies in Practical Theology at Liberty University.
I use AI to help me shape those ideas into posts more clearly than I could get them alone.
Here is what that actually looks like. I start with an insight — from a session, from Scripture, from something a client asked me last week, from my Practitioner’s Guide. I bring what I have already written or thought about that idea. Sometimes I bring the Scripture that anchors it. Then I work with AI to sharpen the language, tighten the structure, and stress-test the framing. I review every post before it publishes. Nothing goes up that I would not say to a client.
I do this for one reason. There is more of what I have learned than there is time to write it down the way I used to write it down. AI does not replace my voice. It lets me put more of what I have learned within reach of more people, faster than I could otherwise.
If a post ever sounds off to you — like it lost the person behind it — tell me. I want to know.
