About me…
My role as an executive pastor is something like a Chief Operations Officer and a Senior Associate Pastor. I love connecting high capacity people and getting them the resources they need to make a difference in our world through the local church.
I also love working to develop creative solutions for communications, technology and ministry programs that reach our communities.

If your wondering about your affect in this world check out what Seth Godin has to say below – a great blog to follow by the way. Although Seth doesn’t claim to be a Christian, I love many of the ideas that he writes about and beleive that he has real insights on our culture and how to reach people with your message.
You matter by Seth Godin
- When you love the work you do and the people you do it with, you matter.
- When you are so gracious and generous and aware that you think of other people before yourself, you matter.
- When you leave the world a better place than you found it, you matter.
- When you continue to raise the bar on what you do and how you do it, you matter.
- When you teach and forgive and teach more before you rush to judge and demean, you matter.
- When you touch the people in your life through your actions (and your words), you matter.
- When kids grow up wanting to be you, you matter.
- When you see the world as it is, but insist on making it more like it could be, you matter.
- When you inspire a Nobel prize winner or a slum dweller, you matter.
- When the room brightens when you walk in, you matter.
- And when the legacy you leave behind lasts for hours, days or a lifetime, you matter.

Just trust Him!

Dr. S. M. Lockeridge is credited with a sermon that Dr. Tony Evans preaches the heck out of – a must listen if you ever get the chance. And thanks to the efforts The Vessel Project below is a great transcript of the message.
Who is the this guy? It is my Jesus, the Lover of my soul.
You can trust Him.
He is the one who made us. It is He who made us and not we ourselves. The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament shows forth His handiwork. No means of measure can define His limitless love, and no farseeing telescope can bring into visibility the coastline of His shore less supply.
I’m telling you, Church, you can trust Him!
No barrier can hinder Him from pouring out His blessing. He is enduringly strong and entirely sincere. He is eternally steadfast and immortally graceful. He is imperially powerful and He is impartially merciful. He is the greatest phenomena that has ever crossed the horizon of this world.He is the sinner’s Savior. He is the centerpiece of civilization.
I’m trying to tell you today, Church, you can trust Him!
He does not have to call for help, and you can’t confuse Him. He doesn’t need you and He doesn’t need me. He stands alone in the solitude of Himself.He is august and He is unique. He is unparalleled and unprecedented. He is supreme and He is preeminent.
He is the loftiest ideal of literature. He is the highest personality in philosophy. He is the fundamental doctrine of all theology. He is the cardinal necessity of Spiritual religion. He is the miracle of the age. He is the superlative of everything good that you can call Him.
I’m trying to tell you, Church, you can trust Him!
He can satisfy all your needs, and He can do it instantaneously.He supplies strength for the weak and He is available for the tempted and the tried. He sympathizes and He sees. He guards and He guides. He heals the sick. He cleansed the leper. He forgives sinners and He discharges debtors. He delivers the captives. He defends the feeble. He blesses the young. He regards the aged. He rewards the diligent. He beautifies the meek.
I’m trying to tell you, Church, you can trust Him!
He is the key to knowledge. He is the wellspring of wisdom. He is the doorway of deliverance; He is the pathway of peace. He is the roadway of righteousness. He is the highway of holiness. He is the gateway of glory. He is the Master of the mighty. He is the captor of the conquerors. He is the head of heroes. He is the leader of legislators. He is the overseer of the overcomers. He is the governor of the governors. He is the prince of princes and He is the King of kings. He is the Lord of lords.
You can trust Him!
His office is manifold. His promise is sure. His life is matchless. His goodness is limitless. His mercy is everlasting. His love never changes. His Word is enough. His grace is sufficient. His reign is righteous. His yoke is easy; His burden is light. I wish I could describe Him for you.
He is indescribable because He is incomprehensible. He is irresistible because He is invincible.You can’t get Him off your hands. You can’t get Him off your mind. You can’t outlive Him, and you can’t live without Him. You can trust Him!
There was nobody before Him and there will be nobody after Him. He had no predecessor. He will have no successor. He is all things. He is the giver of life. He is the joy out of every sorrow. He is the light out of every darkness. He is the peace that passes all understanding. He is the giver of every good and perfect gift.
You can trust Him!
There is no God before Him. There will be none after Him. He is the first. He is the last. He is preeminent. There is no other God! Hallelujah!
You can trust Him!
