He has published three books built around the idea that changing thought process is the true meaning of Biblical repentance and therefore, the key component of real change. He and his wife, Polly, developed Think Differently Academy, an online teaching and training site, for those who want to go further in their freedom journey, and help others do the same.  His video series, Foundations of Freedom, is used worldwide to shift the way people see anew the Gospel, themselves and the pathway to change.
