 MARK PFUETZE (Counseling)
Name:
Mark Pfuetze
(mpfuetze@earthlink.net)
aka "Frazier"
Role @ Riverside:
Counselor
Family: I am married to Mollie and on January 12, 2006 we
welcomed a beautiful baby girl, Mallory Elizabeth, into the world.
Education: BA History (University of Kansas); BA Music
Synthesis, BA Music Production & Engineering (Berklee College of
Music); M.Div. and Master of Arts in Counseling (Covenant Theological
Seminary); currently working on a PhD in Counseling (UMSL).
Dream for Riverside: That Riverside would be a safe place for
people to share their struggles with one another as they seek to serve
and rest in the Lord and His grace.
Favorite quote: "God is most glorified in us when we are most
satisfied in Him." (John Piper, Desiring God) and...
"Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If
you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give it to no
one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and
little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the
casket or coffin of your selfishness. but in that casket, safe, dark,
motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will
become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. the only place
outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers of
love is Hell." (C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves)
Favorite big screen moment: The Two Towers: Gandalf coming over
the ridge with the Riders of Rohan to destroy the Orcs at Helm's Deep
- this is a beautiful image of the return of Christ as He destroys sin
and evil. Also...
Chariots of Fire: When Eric Liddell tells his sister that "God made
him fast and when he runs he feels His pleasure."
Favorite music: Coldplay; Talking Heads; the Stone Roses; Dave
Matthews Band; U2.
Heroes and mentors: John Calvin, John Piper, Ravi Zacharias,
Dan Allender
What I am learning these days: The power of true confession and
forgiveness in conflicted relationships
A few of my favorite things: Traveling, eating out, and hanging
out with my wife; holding my little girl; playing with my little dog
Izzy; reading; Playstation2; Macintosh Powerbook; playing my bass and
acoustic guitar; watching a good movie; watching the DVD set of Lost
with my wife; a nice cold beer or glass of wine; iPod; 24; KU Jayhawks;
hanging out with good friends; family
