Speaking & Ministry
Leslie teaches the way he writes — Scripture first, honest about his own story, and patient with everyone else’s. No performance. Just truth, spoken with grace.
What he teaches
Why affirmation alone is incomplete — and how the renewed mind moves from performing for approval to living from adoption.
Romans 8:15 · Romans 12:2The three ingredients of durable change: grace stabilizes, truth corrects, time rewires. Remove one, and growth falters.
John 1:14 · James 4:6Breaking secrecy, confessing safely, and dismantling the shame beneath the habit — drawn from decades of recovery ministry.
James 5:16 · John 8:32How sentences spoken over us become lenses, narratives, and reflexes — and how Scripture retrains the inner voice.
Proverbs 18:21Listening beneath behavior — interrupting inherited cycles at the kitchen table, where renewal meets real people.
Genesis 4:7 · Ephesians 6:4Freedom is not only what we leave behind; it is what we pass on. Building a different inheritance for children and grandchildren.
2 Corinthians 5:17“Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed.”James 5:16
Where it fits
A message or series on identity renewal — accessible to newcomers, substantive for long-time believers.
Teaching and Q&A for groups reading Transformation Over Affirmation together — in person or by video call.
Training and encouragement for leaders, and honest teaching for participants — grace-based, truth-telling, unhurried.
Fear, performance, control, and the different inheritance a renewed man can hand his family.
