Who is
A Reluctant Disciple?

We are the husband-and-wife team behind Proof of Faith and Proof of Faith Ministries.

Neither of us expected to write a book or enter public ministry. We met as public defenders—two attorneys who loved solving difficult problems, standing beside people who needed a voice, and building careers we believed we would pursue for the rest of our lives.

Before entering law, he served in the United States Air Force, working on fighter aircraft and in aircraft crash recovery. After his service, he attended law school and became a public defender.

Before becoming an attorney, she competed in pageants and learned to play the violin while living in Texas. She moved north to attend law school and spent more than a decade as a public defender. Together, we represented thousands of people and handled cases ranging from misdemeanor to felony. She also argued, and won, a case before the state Supreme Court.

We married shortly before the pandemic, expecting to continue building our lives as Attorneys. Instead, the pandemic became a defining crossroads. After raising legal concerns about what was happening to incarcerated clients and seeking lawful solutions, we were silenced. We both reached the same conviction: we could not commit what we believed would be legal malpractice by remaining silent about the constitutional rights being violated.

That decision cost us the careers we had spent years building. We stepped away from the legal system, surrendered our law licenses, and entered one of the humblest seasons of our lives. We went from courtrooms, professional achievement, and financial stability to living from savings, caring for dogs, and trying to understand where God was leading us.

The People’s Convoy became part of that answer. We traveled together, witnessed an extraordinary display of fellowship and courage, and met people God used to draw us back to Jesus Christ. What began as a fight for earthly truth gradually became a search for eternal truth.

During the years that followed, he immersed himself in monetary history, blockchain, digital assets, artificial intelligence, and the changing structure of the global financial system. She became his closest researcher, advisor, and co-steward. She did not accept his conclusions simply because he believed them. She examined the evidence, challenged weak arguments, pressed for clarity, and tested the research for herself.

She was also the first to recognize that his repeated conversations about faith, technology, and financial change needed to become something more permanent. After hearing him explain the same ideas to person after person, she finally told him, “You need to write a book”. She reviewed the claims, edited the manuscript, protected the accuracy of the message, and later became the engineer behind the audiobook. The book may be told largely through his testimony, but it could not have been completed without her discernment, discipline, technical work, and steady support.

Her own life was also being redirected. The attorney who once carried the pressure of more than a thousand clients began embracing a quieter life centered on faith, marriage, home, and service. God also called her back to the violin after nearly two decades away from it, using a gift she thought belonged to a former season of life to serve within the worship ministry of our local church. He serves with the youth ministry and security team.

Our return to Christ changed not only what we believed, but how we understood marriage, work, money, success, and calling. We began reading Scripture with the same care we once gave to case law—line by line, testing assumptions and allowing God’s Word to work in and through us.

Although I am the primary author, A Reluctant Disciple has always been “we.” My wife and I are equally yoked. She is my Proverbs 31 wife, my Chief Legal Officer, my editor, my fact-checker, my sounding board, and the engineer behind the audiobook. Every page of this book bears her fingerprints as much as mine. This ministry is our shared testimony of what God has done—and continues to do—in our lives. The name A Reluctant Disciple reflects the path that brought us here. We were both reluctant. We did not seek attention, a platform, or public ministry. We felt unqualified and would have preferred to remain quietly behind the scenes. But conviction became obedience, obedience became stewardship, and reluctance became relentlessness.

We remain anonymous by choice, not because our story is a secret, but because we do not want our identities to become the message. This ministry is not about building recognition around us. It exists to share our testimony, make the research accessible, encourage careful discernment, and help others consider how they might faithfully steward what God has placed before them.

What started as his research became our shared conviction. What began as a book became a ministry. We believe this ministry is meant to extend beyond a book and a website. Some readers may be called to gather people in their own communities and form local crypto ministries—Bible-centered groups where people can study Scripture, examine the changing financial and technological landscape, encourage careful discernment, and consider how digital assets might be faithfully stewarded in service to others.

We are not asking anyone to follow our exact path or blindly accept our conclusions. We encourage every reader to examine the evidence, test every claim against Scripture, pray earnestly, seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit and wise counsel, and to obey whatever God asks.

Our names are not the point. The only name that truly matters is the name of Jesus Christ!
