Wisdom/bit
of advice/quote: Romans
12:1 - "Therefore I urge you brothers, in view of God's
mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and
pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship."
"Judge your success by the happiness of your wife and the
respect given to you by your children." - H. Jackson Brown,
Jr.
Educational
& Ministry History: B.A. in Psychology from the University of
South Florida. M.A. in Professional Counseling from Liberty
University. My wife and I began working with the senior
high youth group at Christ's Church in 2005. Tonya and I
both have always had a desire to work with youth and during
this time, I had a strong sense of God's call to serve Him
vocationally. The following year I was able to join the
staff as youth pastor part-time while continuing to teach
special education at Magna Vista High
School. In the
summer of 2007 I was set apart to serve full-time,
overseeing the Student and Children's Ministry at
Christ's Church.

music from Ireland. I also subscribe to podcasts
