Hi! I’m Pam

I love helping people solve problems through meeting one on one or presenting content that encourages people in their faith and relationships.

Right now I am speaking on topics like Prayer, Leading With Humility, and Scripture passages that support people and their teams or families.  I do this through my organization, Real Life Real Image, where I provide consulting, workshops, speaking, and mediation.

Serving as a presenter and speaker to universities and faith communities are some of my favorite connecting points with people. Any places where people gather together for work or worship are two examples of communities I love.

I’m passionate about deeper relationships, too, and am humbled to have written and shared through two books:  Soul Strength: Spiritual Courage for the Battles of Life (Random House, 2003) and A Friend in Me: How to Be a Safe Haven for Other Women (David C. Cook, 2015). Another favorite was contributing to Christianity Today’s Her.meneutics and other publications like The Christian Scholar’s Review, Right Now Media, Collide, 4Word Women, Women’s Ministry.net, Institute for Faith, Work & Economics, and The High Calling.

I’m originally from Mount Laurel, New Jersey and currently live outside of Portland, Oregon with Brad, the love of my life.  We raised three daughters together and still have their animals to prove it!  One daughter and son in law live in Southern California.  Another daughter and son in law live in Salem, Oregon. with PA school and our youngest lives in Spokane, Washington near the love of her life.

“I love helping people solve problems, creative writing projects and presenting content that encourages people in their faith and relationships.”

Statement of Belief

The ministry of Real Life Real Image exists to magnify God and build up His followers.

I believe . . . on dependence on God and relying on His inexhaustible resources in the power of the Holy Spirit for everything He calls us to do.

I believe . . .the Bible to be the inspired, the only, infallible Word of God

I believe. . . in life and in death we belong to God.  Through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, we trust in the one Triune God, the Holy One of Israel, whom we alone worship and serve.

I trust . . . in Jesus Christ who is fully human, fully God.  Jesus proclaimed God’s Kingdom by preaching good news to the poor, releasing captives, and blessing children and outcasts.

As a Christian and follower of Jesus, I affirm the Apostle’s creed:

I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth: And in Jesus Christ his only son our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell; The third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, And sits on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.  I believe in the Holy Ghost; the Holy catholic Church, the Communion of Saints; the Forgiveness of sins; The Resurrection of the body, and the Life everlasting. Amen.
