About John
  • One of my favorite illustrations: The relationship of our walk with Jesus compared to riding a bike.
  • Family: Wendy, my wife of 22 years, is very supportive of me and is a vital partner in my ministry. Cody, our 10 year old son, is a very special little guy and we wouldn’t trade him for anything.
  • Best advice given to me about preaching: K.I.S.S.
  • Books that have had an impact: Left Behind series
  • Hobbies: Music, Reading, and Bears.
  • If I could Preach one more time, I would say...: The rapture’s comin’, got your ticket?
  • Something funny that happened while preaching: Immediately following my first sermon at my present church, the plastic altar flowers caught on fire. I felt like Moses at the burning bush.
  • What I want on my tombstone: 1 Sam. 16:7
