I heard the gospel many times from my dad before he passed away. Since being saved my life has been different as I want to think how God wants me to think and do what God wants me to do. I want to live my life for Him and share the hope that I have with others. WHAT I DO AT LWF: I serve as the Counseling Pastor and coordinate all things counseling.

ABOUT ME MY GOSPEL STORY: I grew up in a home where I heard the truth of Gods Word and was regularly at church. At age 5 I was in counsel time at Awana and a man by the name of Dean Lundberg was teaching how heaven and hell are both real places and the only way to heaven was to put your trust in Jesus who died for your sin. I prayed to God with my mother in a back room, confessed my sin and put my trust in Jesus. Though I am a sinner God chose to love me and continues to show me that over and over again. WHAT I DO AT LWF: I get to serve God in teaching His Word, discipleship and having fun with our youth we call Hydrate, I’m very blessed to be doing this with youth leaders who love youth and love Jesus. My role as a connections pastor is to connect all people to God, but new comers to the church and the body to each other.

Movie: I'm not good at picking just one: Braveheart, Lethal Weapons (all of them), 2 Guns, The Proposal

ABOUT ME MY GOSPEL STORY: I grew up in a Christian home and I heard about God’s huge love for me often. When I was attending VBS as a child, I heard a message of God’s free gift of salvation for me - a sinner! I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins. I continue to be amazed at God’s love and grace as He shows me areas of my life that I constantly need to surrender so that God can change me to be more like Him.

ABOUT ME MY GOSPEL STORY: I did not grow up in a Christian home, I first heard who Christ was when I was 9 years old and accepted him as my personal Lord and Savior at the age of 13. Unfortunately my family and I stopped attending the church where I accepted Christ and had no accountability with my walk with Christ and I started following the world and it’s pleasures to “fit in.” Fast forward to the age of 24 where God used my now beautiful wife Karen to bring me back to himself and showed me how broken and how distant I was from Christ and that I needed to repent and give my life back to him. I’m so thankful to be back in fellowship with the Lord and to acknowledge him in all things through Christ’s strength and power and not relying on my own. WHAT I DO AT LWF: It’s been a blessing to use the gifts he has given me to lead Christ’s church in active worship for His Glory. It has also been a blessing to learn and grow in my walk with Christ and use God’s word to help others in need through biblical counseling in our Living Waters Counseling program at LWF. I am also a deacon of our church. MY FAVORITE THINGS: Hobby: Learning new tips and tricks with musical gear and equipment and studying God’s word. When I’m not doing that, I love just spending time with my wife and kids. Food: When it comes to food I like anything and everything!! But I do enjoy a sweet juicy watermelon in the summer time! Movie: My favorite type of movie is a family comedy.
