The Questions.

Why did Blaine create The Confessional?

Not long ago, a good friend asked Blaine, “When you were living in your secret world of hopelessness and addiction, what is the one thing you wanted most?”

Without hesitation Blaine replied, “I would have given anything to have a confidential advocate outside of my ministry world that I could have shared my struggles with freely, without any fear of exposure.”

The friend looked back at Blaine and said, “Why don’t you provide a space like that today for today’s pastors and spiritual leaders?”

One year later, The Confessional was born.

Why would I confess to a person I don’t know?

Sometimes, a person who does not have a history with you can speak more clearly into your life. They don’t bring bias or prejudice into the situation. You are able to get an honest assessment of the best way to find help and healing from someone who is not a “stakeholder” in your life or work.
