  • Family: I have the honor of being the husband of my beautiful wife, Cassy since 2016.
  • What my spouse (really) thinks of my sermons: Her words: she enjoys listening to me preach and things that I have a gift at sharing God's Word with others. My words: she hears enough of my rants, preaching, and opinions all day every day, so it's great that I have a time limit when preaching.
  • Best advice given to me about preaching: No matter what you say or do, you'll make some people happy and some people not happy. Trying to please everyone only results in upsetting the masses. Stay true to yourself, and preach what the Lord has laid on your heart.
  • Books that have had an impact: The Bible, Soul Feast by Marjorie Thompson, Invitation to a Journey by M. Robert Mulholland, Jr., Everyone's a Theologian by R. C. Sproul, Erasing Hell by Francis Chan, and The Masculine Mandate by Richard D. Phillips.
  • Hobbies: Playing guitar, writing, and reading.
  • If I could Preach one more time, I would say...: We have a tendency to get so in the weeds and details of scripture, when at the end of the day our commands are to love the Lord our God above all else, to love our neighbors as ourselves, and to spread the gospel to all that will hear us.
  • What I want on my tombstone: A God-centered Individual

    There's a popular phrase out there: "God recycles." He transforms lives. He restores. He rejoices for the redeemed lives by the blood of Jesus Christ.

    It's important for us to understand the time and era in which Zephaniah lived for us to get a full picture of what's really going. So I'd like to give just a brief background and talk a little about the history of what's going on at this time. As we see in Zephaniah 1:1, the ...read more

    Today wraps up this series on idolatry. Over the last 4 weeks we've talked about exposing the golden calf in our lives, looking at surface idols and root idols.

    Don't let the symbol of our worship be a dollar sign when it should be a cross.

    The Death of god Pastor Kyle Idleman asked this question that I'd like to share with you: Do you remember in September of 2008 when the worst happened? God died. And who would have guessed? He seemed eternal. He wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. It happened at a point when his ...read more

    My prayer and desire is to love my family enough to lay my relationships on the altar before God with everything else that I have and everything else that I am.

    The Great Divorce One of my favorite authors is C.S. Lewis. I was first introduced to him back in middle school when I had summer reading - I believe it was either Prince Caspian or The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Part of the Chronicles of Narnia. He also wrote The Screwtape Letters and Mere ...read more

    God commands us to worship Him alone. Who or what are you worshipping?

    Preparing for this series, like any message that I give or group that I teach, is something that I have taken incredibly seriously. Over the last couple of months I've dedicated a substantial amount of time to thinking, praying, and considering how can I in my current role and this series best ...read more
