Kirby is the author of Building Courageous Connection, an eight-week Christian study of God’s design for relationships and community.
A church lay leader, coach, speaker, and trainer, Kirby has spent more than 20 years helping people learn, grow, and connect. The study brings that experience together with his faith and his conviction that healthier relationships begin with honest reflection and courageous everyday choices.
God created us for connection. Yet even when we want strong relationships, we can find ourselves repeating old patterns, avoiding hard conversations, or wondering why connection feels harder than it should.
As a former teacher, coach, trainer, and church lay leader, I’ve spent years helping people look closely at what is happening in their lives and take practical next steps. I wrote Building Courageous Connection to bring that kind of honest reflection to our relationships, with Scripture guiding the way.
Over eight weeks, the study invites you to explore why connection matters, consider what has shaped the way you relate to others, and practice engaging with greater courage. My hope is that what you discover will reach beyond the pages and into your everyday relationships.
As a church lay leader, Kirby knows the value of learning together and putting faith into practice in everyday relationships. That perspective helps shape Building Courageous Connection.
