What You’ll Come Away With:
In the past, I’ve felt misunderstood and struggled with living a double life. Because of these experiences, I’m excited to offer you an empathetic and caring presence. My passion is to help you live at your full potential, and you’ll leave sessions with new truths about yourself and God.
Biography:
Sozo completely transformed my life and marriage. Although I’d accepted Jesus at age 16 in my home country of Turkey (and considered myself a strong Christian), I didn’t realize that I actually lived my life with an “orphan” mentality. I’d married my wife Selin in 2010 and been in ministry for years, but unfortunately we’d begun hiding our problems as we gained responsibility in our church.
During my first Sozo session in 2016, I wept for two hours after my church leader pointed out that I was always looking for others’ approval when I didn’t have to. This encounter with God’s love changed everything and finally helped me believe the truth that my value comes from God alone, and that I’m safe & secure with Jesus.
My wife and I moved to Redding a year after this Sozo to follow Father God’s call to go through BSSM. At the time, we had no idea that Bethel church is where the Sozo ministry started! I completed all the classes that the Transformation Center provided through BSSM, and this helped me dive into a deeper world of inner healing. I was blessed to intern with Yvonne Martinez as I completed my final year of BSSM, and I joined the Transformation Center team in 2020.
Before moving to Redding, my wife and I were also involved in business; I worked as an IT manager for a technology company for 7 years. I’m still doing filmmaking and providing consultation for branding strategies. My passion for technology is not just for business but also my enjoyment. In my spare time, I fly drones, and I enjoy any kind of remote-controlled/real airplane, general aviation, and flying. I also love e-sports!
