Waiting
I see the Promise Land on the horizons of my soul. You have called me and set me apart to lead these captive people out of bondage and in to new found freedom. There is a clear path before me to enter into the city gates. But these captive people are actually standing in the way so we cannot pass through. It seems as if the road has gotten steeper. This Promise Land now seems so unobtainable. Your purpose... read more

Remember!
I’m not one to constantly point fingers at the devil, but this week has been a spiritual warfare doozy! This past Sunday was AMAZING! It was the first official week that I served our church as co pastor. We had an incredible worship gathering! We changed up the order of our service to make it flow much smoother and to eliminate so many awkward moments. The new order of service allowed adequate time... read more

More than gracious!
I have recently finished studying the book of Exodus. And man! That is a hard book to study! There’s the surface level story of Moses and the redemption of the children of Israel, but man there’s a lot of crazy things in the middle.

Consider it all Joy
So I previously mentioned that God has come through for us lately in some HUGE ways! Now I’m not one of those Christians that likes to say something about the “enemy” every other sentence. I think some Christians are way to superstitious when it comes to the devil. They blame him for everything- from hang nails to bad hair days instead of realizing that their own sinful nature is behind... read more
In Kindergarten I was officially voted 'Most Inquisitive'.
I have been asking questions ever since as I believe that they are the catalyst to discovering the world all around us.
The answers to these questions have led me into an everlasting committed relationship with Jesus Christ, into a marriage with the love of my life, and into being the father of the two most beautiful children on earth.
It is my personal mission to glorify God with my life, advance His Kingdom through my ministry, and to love my family with everything I have.
I am the Pastor at Fellowship Church in Salem, Oregon and these are my thoughts on life.
