Brett Dawson
REVEREND IN WAITING
Brett Dawson resides in Sparks, Nevada. Brett, now in his 50s, has been involved in one way or another with Spiritual Practice since he was a teenager, largely due to the influence of Reverend Marjory Dawson, his mother. The relationship with Christ-centered practice has always been a highlight that brought him closer to his mother, and now, ultimately, to his profound relationship with God. 2025 was an extraordinary year of Truth and Healing for Brett, especially after an experience in June that completely healed him of depression and anxiety. He is now a member of the CLM board and a true prayer warrior!
