Meet the Man Behind This Site
I truly do not want this ministry to be about me, but I also know that nobody is going to use the site without knowing at least something about its Producer.
I was born and raised in a Christian home in Charlotte, NC by two loving, godly parents who were key volunteers in our 5,000-member church. At age 8, I accepted Christ as my Savior, and at age 12, I was baptized. I sensed the call to ministry in high school and responded to that call at age 17. I completed my undergraduate degree at Tennessee Temple University (now merged with Piedmont International University) and my MDIV degree at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, NC (2008). I was ordained to ministry at First Baptist Church in Charlotte, NC in March of 2008 and pastored First Baptist Church of Stanley, NC (first as Interim, then as Senior Pastor) from February 2008 to April 2012. I married Ashley Vellers from Mount Holly, NC in July of 2012. In August of 2015, I completed the MBA in Finance from the Regent University School of Business and Leadership. Since October of 2015, I have maintained a life insurance license in the state of North Carolina. In October of 2016, I became the pastor of Grace Baptist Church in Fayetteville, NC. My wife and I welcomed our little boy Liam into the world in February of 2018.
That is a play-by-play of my biographical highlights. As you follow the blog posts, you will get to know me much better as I share God's workings through my own journey in hopes that it helps you in yours.
