Summary
SummaryI was the picture of success—military enrolment, college, money, girls, endless parties—yet inside I was broken. My spiral of alcohol, drugs, pornography and crime landed me in jail and facing a felony. At rock-bottom I cried out, stepped into a church meeting, and God read my mail through a visiting prophet. That night Jesus shattered the rope of shame that had been choking my life. I surrendered, dove into Scripture, prayer and radical evangelism. The Holy Spirit replaced fear with bold love, moved me from suicidal despair to unshakeable purpose, and turned my “party boy” past into a loudspeaker for the Gospel. Today I preach in streets and nations, alongside my wife Abigail, wearing the scars as trophies of Christ’s freedom. All glory to Jesus who brought me from chains to calling!
We recently hit 100,000 subscribers! All glory to God! Thank you for helping us spread the gospel by being part of this community. This is the story of how we got to this point. It didn’t happen over night. But over the years, God revealed to me some life-changing truths that forever altered the direction of my life.

My Testimony:
I grew up in church, but instead of knowing Jesus, I only knew religion. This led me to live a very hypocritical lifestyle. By the time I was in college, from the outside looking in, it seemed like I had everything together in my life. I was in the military, getting paid to go to college. I had plans to become a financial planner and expected to make a six figure income shortly after completing my degree. I had joined a fraternity and had access to all the alcohol, drugs and girls that I desired. In spite of all of that, on the inside I was broken, depressed, and empty as I searched through the world for something to satisfy my void.
I radically encountered God in a rock bottom moment and everything in my life changed from the inside-out. Instead of pursuing my own life plans, God rerouted my life into full-time ministry. After joining a local church, I began to voluntarily serve for several years. Over time that led into a church staff position opening up for me. As a result I’ve had the opportunity to wear many hats including: administration, overseeing media, sound, & lights, leading worship, preaching, leading outreach ministry, and many other tasks that have arisen with ministry. While being faithful with the small, the Lord started to open doors for me to preach and equip the saints at other churches as well.
God has expanded His reach through the ministry to include not only many different states in the U.S., but also several different nations. Via in person encounters and social media platforms including YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram, we’re reaching the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
God has given me a beautiful wife named Abigail, and blessed us with two lovely children named Nora and Will. Abigail is currently on staff at our church as the Worship Pastor. Our hearts desire is to love God, love others, and walk as Jesus walked.
