Me:
I am a man blessed beyond my wildest dreams. I formerly served as a workplace chaplain, as well as Associate Pastor of a local church plant in the Hampstead, NC area. I have a heart for church planting, and ministering to God’s people. I am currently serving as Co-Pastor/Elder of a young church plant in the Monkey Junction/Wilmington, NC area.
I am married to Meredith, and have 4 awesome kids. I am a sinner saved by the grace of God alone through His son Jesus Christ, and am still being saved every day. I certainly am blessed far more than I deserve.
The Story of the Blog:
The Christian life, while filled with blessings, is also filled with struggles. As much as I love God, I don’t always love Him as I should. Many days I struggle with faith, and even doubt. Many days I am much more “sinner” than “saint”. If Christians are really honest with themselves, I believe we all experience these things. If Christians are honest with themselves I believe we are all “wrestling” or “striving with God” as Jacob did in Genesis 32:22-31.
This blog is simply the story of me doing just that, striving “with God and with men…” Like Jacob I am not letting go without the Lord’s blessing, and I have confidence that I too will prevail. Not because of me or my own strength, but because He will deliver me.
