• Education: I am only 16 years old, but have felt the calling of God to speak the gospel and live my life for Christ even in my High School. I am currently in the 10th grade.
• Experience: My first speaking appearance was almost a year ago now when my youth pastor heard that I had a lesson I could teach. That night I shared what God laid on my heart to say about the difference between Godly fear and Earthly fear. Ever since I have spoken in front of our congregation and youth group many times and continue to do so. I look forward to where God is leading me, all I can do is simply follow Him.
• Comment to those looking at my sermons: Look at them not as words of my own, but as words of God. I want no glory from these sermons, if you like them ask God to continue to speak through me, and I am sure He will provide as He has always.
• Sermon or series that made a difference: When I attended Student Life Camp at Covenant College in Lookout Mtn. TN, my life was changed forever. With the message based around the passage in John 8:23 that says we, as Christians, through Jesus, are not of this world since we have Jesus in our heart. My life was changed forever after this camp. I will never look back.
• Family: I live with my Mother, father and 2 brothers in my house in Mount Juliet. I have lived in Mt. Juliet for all of my life and am the oldest of three children.
• What my parents think of my sermons: My parents are a great encouragement to me in prayer and in teaching me everyday through their Christ-like examples. I thank them for staying close to the Lord and setting the right example for me.
• What my spouse (really) thinks of my sermons: I do not have a spouse as of yet, I think I might want to wait a decade or two.
• Best advice given to me about preaching: Keep two notebooks, one for the lessons, and one for keeping up with when you did the lessons and when you need to do the lessons.
• Books that have had an impact: Loving God: Charles Colson Breaking Free: Beth Moore My Utmost for His Highest: Oswald Chambers The Holy Bible: God
• Hobbies: I love to sing, play music, and speak. I am in my High School band where I have played the Trombone for 4 years. I am also envolved in my church praise orchestra. I love more than anything to share the truth of the gospel. I love to watch God work in people’s life. I love to tell the story of Jesus and watch people’s eyes light up as they realize that there is more to life than everyday life. I love to attend church and sing praises to God as often as I can.
• If I could Preach one more time, I would say...: Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
• What I want on my tombstone: I want the biggest cross in the world on top of my tombstone with Jesus written across the arms.
