I’m also so grateful to do what I love alongside the lady I love, my gorgeous wife, Whitney. Jesus has used Public Church to give us the opportunity to serve, lead, and invest in others together, which is something we have always wanted. Of all the roles in my life, my top is Jesus follower. My next two are husband and dada. Whitney and I have two boys, Liam and Oliver, who are both toddlers and bring a whole lot of energy and joy to our lives. These roles supersede my role through the church because an unhealthy marriage holds Whitney back and robs my boys of the stability they need. I also know that neglecting my family would negate anything I do in my role with Public Church. Yes, parenting is difficult and challenging, but so worth it to invest in and ultimately unleash the boys into the world. We pray that Jesus does immeasurably more in and through our marriage and in and through Liam and Oliver. For Jesus’ Public Church, my role is serving as our Lead Pastor, which provides me the privilege of living out some of my biggest passions. One of my favorite things to do is study and then communicate God’s Word in an authentic and practical way – the entire process of preparing and giving a talk fires me up! I also enjoy almost everything related to vision, including casting and implementing vision, knowing that God’s plans are always bigger than ours. In addition, I am passionate about leadership, especially developing leaders. Problem solving and developing people to see through limitation and move to breakthrough fuels me. I am so grateful that my role gives me the privilege of coaching and investing in leaders to unleash them to fill their role in Jesus’ church. Finally, I value the time I get to spend with my friends who don’t follow Jesus. An essential part of my role is pursuing people who are considered lost and valuable to God. My time with them makes me better, and I hope that they are seeing Jesus’ love for them through my love for them. Whitney and I both love coffee, traveling, and pickleball, and I’m grateful that we share these passions. I’m drinking coffee as I write this, and I must confess that she is better than me at pickleball. Traveling helps me unplug and refuel, especially if that involves stopping at a QT (QuikTrip) gas-station for a taquito. We can’t wait until travel restrictions are eased, and we can go to Romania to spend time with the Pops and Wells, our Romanian family, whom Public Church partners with! Whatever we are doing, here is our family vision: wherever we are, we embrace the journey of following Jesus.
