  • 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
