Dr. Don Owsley is an author, retired pastor, and university instructor. He is also pastoral counselor with nearly thirty years experience helping couples and parents navigate through life. Most importantly, Jesus is his LORD and Savior. He has been married for forty-five years, and they are gentle grandparents raising our 4-year-old grandson. Dr. Don's passion is to use the gifts, skills, and talents God has given him in order to guide, mentor, serve, and bring value to you and yours.
