He currently resides in Nashville, Tennessee with his beautiful wife, Lisa, and their four kids; Ariston, Silas, Anastasia and Gloriana.
Can the Bible be trusted? Did Jesus really rise from the dead? Why is there evil in the world? These were some of the many questions I had as a junior in college. I struggled to know if God was real until I met someone who validated and answered my doubts and questions. He was the first Christian I met that was prepared to give me a reason for the hope that was in him. This relationship radically transformed my life and established me in the Christian faith.
Lisa had a similar experience and discovered that the Christian community she surrounded herself with provided the right environment in which to grow her new faith. She began to reach out to her peers and lead small groups in her dorm.
Statistically, people lose their faith in college, however, we both became followers of Jesus during that time. Because of that, we highly value campus ministry. We believe God has called us to make disciples of all nations and that college students are the greatest mission field and mission force to fulfill the great commission.
