About Me

Saddle Back Up is a multi-church ministry for those who are going through a broken engagement. During such an emotional and painful time it is important that you are not alone and do not go through this alone. The separation is hard for all parties involved, and when you can no longer go to that person, you need loving, comforting and caring people and places in your life.Here at Saddle Back Up, we will be just that for you. Our aim is to love on you, comfort you and be empathetic to your situation and needs. While there is no clear cut path to healing and though there sometimes are no answers, you can come here and find a safe place, some helpful resources and plenty of encouragement from people who have been in your shoes.The Saddle Back Up staff are all Christian leaders from around the Bay Area who have experienced their own broken engagements and wish to help you integrate your recovery with faith. Our vision comes directly from Paul in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.”Saddle Back Up is committed to introducing you to the healing process and helping you discover biblical aspects to recovery. We believe that there is a real need and awareness for broken engagement recovery as typically in both Christian and secular circles it is not openly discussed. Saddle Back Up is for both the churched and unchurched that are looking to step into God’s grace. Recovery is indeed possible and the Bible is certainly the greatest resource. We desire to bring you these truths as you heal and recover.We invite you to spend some time here as often as you need, reading through our resources, connecting with us and others, and we know that you will receive hope, find direction and experience God’s love for you.

My Interests

Coming along side of and helping those who are broken-hearted, broken- spiritually or broken-emotionally recover and helping them to discover new things about themself while bringing to light God's grace and love.

I'd like to meet:

Those going through broken engagments, relationships, or marriages past or present; Family of people who have experienced this; and/or anyone who loves Jesus.

Music:

Check out the Celebrate Recovery music cd thats out in stores now. I also like listening to Chris Tomlin, Jon Abel and Jeremy Camp to worship and bring me to a place of peace and stillness before God. However if I'm wanting to let loose a little more I like the styles of Linkin Park and Marc Bonilla.

Books:

There have been so many helpful ones. Send me a message and let me know where you're at and I'll make some reccomendations.
