We help churches know and experience how Jesus makes a difference in a broken world through abiding in His love

Our Mission

Throughout my journey, I (Robert) have seen the church be overwhelmed by life and underwhelmed by God. Life is hard, but churches everywhere seem to experience a head-heart disconnect, a divide between what they believe in their minds and what they experience in their souls and circumstances.

Gospel Care Ministries was established as a non-profit in 2018, but two burning questions that I first asked almost thirty years ago serve as its foundation:

“How does Jesus make a difference in the brokenness of life?”

“What is the church doing about it?”

In a complex world, we can overcomplicate ministry, but the Gospel offers clarity and power for life in Christ. Gospel Care Ministries seeks to help churches address these and other questions through our services, such as cohorts, care sessions, conferences, and more.

We help leaders and churches to be confident in Christ as they live and serve in a broken world. This mission is accomplished through disciple-making ministries that train local church pastors and leaders to shepherd the church to live in Christ with joy, contentment, and freedom. There may not be a “silver bullet” when it comes to ministry but we believe that abiding in Christ fuels life. Our approach helps leaders reimagine ministry.

Our Story

Before vocational ministry, Robert served in the Navy for several years. He later earned his Master of Divinity and Ph.D. from The Southern Baptist Theology Seminary.

Robert served as Pastor of Care at Sojourn Church Midtown for over sixteen years, where he and Karen equipped the church to care for one another in community.

Throughout their time in ministry, they witnessed a disconnect within the body of Christ – church members believe the Gospel but wondered how Jesus makes a difference in the circumstances of life and the brokenness of this world.

Because of this, Gospel Care Ministries was founded and launched in 2018 out of a vision and passion for the local church.

Robert also serves as a Council Member for the Biblical Counseling Coalition. He is author of Restoration Story: Why Jesus Matters in a Broken World, Restore: Changing How We Live and Love, and God Redeeming His Bride: A Handbook for Church Discipline.

When they’re not traveling to churches around the country, they enjoy life together cooking, walking, occasionally dancing, and hanging out with their three grown children, two sons-in-law, and five adorable grandchildren. 

How We Differ From Other Discipleship Approaches

As a result, leaders can reimagine ministry with Jesus, helping them to make disciples and develop leaders.

Help you to enjoy God rather than merely learning about God.

1.

Focus on abiding in the love of Christ rather than completing a Bible study.

2.

Show you how to reimagine life with Jesus rather than adding another program.

3.

Use God’s Story to show how Jesus makes a difference in the realities of life rather than separating discipleship from care.

4.
