Don’t fret, you can slow down and rest here. There is no need to hurry and figure it all out right now. You weren’t created to live in stress and chaos. When you’re ready, we can jump in the bus and travel this road together.
No spiritual performance needed. Just bring your overwhelmed, hungry heart.

you’re overwhelmed
It seems like life is moving at a pace that keeps you worn out…and you can’t seem to find time to cultivate your faith. Friend, you have permission to slow down and not add another thing to your list.
you’re spiritually hungry
There is more to faith than what you are experiencing, but you can’t seem to land in the right place. You have become tired of feeling like you are on the side of the road watching everyone “cruise by in their deep walk with God.”
you’re ready for a breakthrough
You are done with surface-level Christianity, and you are done with the performance of being a faithful servant. You want to have real encounters with Jesus that transform you but you are just not sure how to navigate this journey.
My Friend, you are in the right place. Welcome to Backroads & Breakthroughs — where overwhelm meets stillness, and stillness meets transformation.
So… What Exactly is Backroads & Breakthroughs?
WEll, I’m Glad you asked! Backroads & Breakthroughs is:
This isn’t just another website to read blogs about how to cultivate your faith and grow in your relationship with Jesus. It’s not about having it all together and over the top Bible knowledge. It’s about the journey of faith while doing life.
Breakthrough doesn’t happen in the fast lane. It happens when we pull over on the backroads, get still, and encounter Jesus in ways that transform everything about us and our lives.
