I'm a Christ-follower, author, pastor, professor, and life coach. I love helping others live into all that God has for them. I'm the husband of Ellen and a dad to two wonderful boys. I serve as Pastor of Development at Grace Fellowship Church and Professor of Leadership and Biblical Studies at Carolina College of Biblical Studies.

​

I'm a Board Certified Life Coach and Master Mental Health Coach with the International Board of Christian Care, a Certified Neuromindfulness Practitioner with the Neuromindfulness Institute, and a certified Prepare/Enrich Facilitator.

​

I hold a Master of Theological Studies from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary and a PhD in Educational Leadership from Columbia International University.

​

I've authored several books and have written for GotQuestions.org, Blogos, and Rooted Ministries.

​

In my spare time, I love cycling, reading, traveling, and enjoying a good cup of coffee and deep conversation.
