A grateful disciple of Jesus Christ, I try to practice His teachings in all my affairs. I’ve got a long way to go, but He has brought me far from what I was.
Nowadays, I’m blessed to be a worship musician, writer, and speaker, Sharing God’s Story in my life. Like that of each one of us, it’s a unique tale of years spent stubbornly doing life my own way, only to realize – like a smack upside the head – that I wasn’t going anywhere. Since then, it’s been about learning, healing, and recovering from brokenness, addiction, and failing health, about miraculous provision for me and my family, about studying God’s Word to find His purpose for me, about sharing my time, talent, and testimony to give all the praise and glory to God, and “to give a little hope to you” (Third Day, Tunnel).
I love acronyms, and, yes, I do dishes and take out the trash, too.
“If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me.”
Matthew 16:24 (NLT)
