About My Family

I’m a former atheist who came to Christ at the age of 33. My high-school sweetheart and I have been happily married since we were 21. Our two incredible sons are now adults and are making their own impact on the world.

Since Christ found me, I’ve gone all-in. I have served and pursued Him through international missions trips, teaching and preaching, seminary, apologetics, leadership and a thousand other things. I continue my day job, which is in a technical field.

About My Ministry

As a practitioner of “reasoned compassion,” my ministry focuses on where the most difficult times in life intersect with the gospel. Although versed in theology and apologetics, I find that those tools that can be used (or not) while meeting people in their deepest pain and unveiling the hope and light that are found only in the gospel.

SBC Chaplaincy

Chaplaincy is a vital frontline ministry and extension of the local church. Chaplains reach the lost among the thousands of men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces, correctional facilities, healthcare settings, public safety, disaster relief sites, and corporate environments. SBC Chaplains care for the broken, offer hope to the hopeless, and advance the gospel of Jesus Christ in hard-to-reach places.
The qualifications expected of a Southern Baptist applying for endorsement as a chaplain or counselor are established by their institution and the Chaplains Commission, SBC. These qualification requirements vary according to the type of chaplaincy or counseling ministry involved but all are expected to meet a high level of ministerial competence.

Pray

Pray for boldness to share the gospel and open hearts among the people to whom I minister. Pray for people to come to saving faith in Jesus. Pray for more to become missionaries and chaplains.

Participate

Commit to long-term prayer support. Explore the opportunities to extend the reach of your church by becoming a chaplain. Be involved in supporting chaplains and their families. Send notes of encouragement. Talk with a chaplain about his or her ministry context. Send resources that support a chaplain’s ministry context. Pray for chaplains and their families.
NAMB does not provide compensation for SBC endorsed chaplains. However, a general fund is available to receive donations in support of the ministry and pastoral care to SBC endorsed chaplains. To donate, please visit Support Chaplaincy (missionaries.namb.net/projects/full/chaplaincy).
