Family:
Married to Laurie July 4, 1984
- Three children (Sarah, Emily, Robert)
Wisdom/bit
of advice/quote: "The
only thing that counts is faith expressing itself in love."
(Gal. 5:6)
Educational
& Ministry History: B.A. Atlanta Christian College; M.A.
Cincinnati Bible Seminary. I entered ministry in 1982 and
have had the privilege of serving the church in Georgia,
South Carolina, Indiana and Virginia. It is an absolute joy
to call Christ's Church in Martinsville home!
Fun
Stuff: Enjoying my
wife, hiking together as a family, hunting and fishing, and
almost any outdoor activity. I also enjoy reading and
studying, as well as learning about computers. Above all, I
love discussing the Scriptures over a good cup of coffee
with anyone who loves the Word or just has questions!
Favorites:
A good steak or anything
Italian! Apple computers, the Tarheels, wintry weather,
watching my kids laugh, good movies, teaching, pressing
into each other's lives.
Makes me
laugh: Chris Rollins,
Far Side cartoons, my brother Turk, and Duke Blue Devil
fans.
What's on
the iPod: A wide
variety of musical styles from Third Day, Chris Tomlin,
Michael Card, as well as classic tunes from the 70's &
80's. But most of my iPod is filled with the sermons and
podcasts from exceptional teachers like Mark Driscoll and Resurgence Audio.
The
Inside Scoop: I like to
cook. I am not a morning person (does 6 o'clock really come
twice a day?). I have gone cliff diving - what a rush! I
drink coffee only for the taste, really. I enjoy grocery
shopping with my wife.
