David Thomas Cruz
Ordained Minister in Oak hills, California
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I believe that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the truth and his example of love is sacrificing self to be one with your partner to serve God's purpose. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son to sacrifice for our sins, for those who believe will have everlasting life. Only through his blood we are saved by grace. Grace is forgiveness, mercy, and sacrifice to ultimately try to experience agape love. A relationship with Christ is a major foundation for marriages, but also understanding trauma and emotional triggers. I am a Licensed Counselor and would like to be a proactive stakeholder help starting families develop early conversations about hard family topics. Christ love for the Church he call his bride embodies a modeled mindset designed for lasting partnerships for his purpose. I hope to open up mental health stigma and have discussions to understand new relational triggers. I feel Gods purpose for me is to Strengthen Family Communication skills and decrease divorce numbers. I'm a non denomination Christian Counselor and healer. My mission is prevent toxic marriage/relations dynamics and promoting SMART family boundaries. Balanced by grace and mercy, CBT, Prayer with mindfulness, healthy family boundaries, increasing bonds for all Families for Christ, on Earth.
