WHO IS DR. RICK JANELLE and WHAT DOES HE DO FOR OTHERS?
I am a Christian minister who speaks, writes and coaches others.
I help parents learn the mind-sets and skills they need so that they can help their children become well-adjusted, productive adults.
I do this by applying Biblical truths to modern life, especially in the realm of the local community and the family.
My full-time “day job” is serving as a lead teaching minister for Churches of Christ.
WHAT ARE HIS QUALIFICATIONS and WHY SHOULD YOU LISTEN TO HIM?
• Almost 4 decades of marriage. (Yes, to the same woman!)
• 4 well-balanced, productive, grown children. (No, I didn’t warp them TOO badly.)
• 3 incredibly great in-law kids. (Yes, they really chose to join our merry band!)
• 3 absolutely perfect grandchildren. (No, don’t listen to what their parents say.)
• 4 college degrees + an ESL adult teaching certificate from Cambridge. (Yes, THAT University of Cambridge.)
• Almost 30 years of professional church ministry. (No, people who know me better than you can’t believe it either.)
• Thousands of readers and students on multiple continents around the globe. (Yes, some of them needed translators to understand me.)

WHY DOES HE DO WHAT HE DOES and WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES HE HOPE TO MAKE?
I want to help younger couples and parents as they work on the “front lines” with the next generation of people.
I want to help churches and young families successfully navigate the turbulent waters of modern-day life
MY DEEPEST APPRECIATION GOES OUT TO:
My God and Christ our King
My wife Tammy and our entire extended family
The churches that have patiently loved me and allowed me to practice my ministry skills on them
My great educational mentors, especially Dr. Cecil May, Jr., Dr. Dale Grote and Dr. Jim Benton, who have each helped me greatly at key educational crossroads
