Favorite Bible Verse: “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
Galatians 2:20 (NIV)
Favorite Quote:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” -Theodore Roosevelt
At what age did you accept Jesus Christ into your heart?
The age of 8; however, at the age of 21 I began to take my walk with Jesus Christ seriously.
What are your standards when it comes to dating?
First and foremost, she must be a believer. Secondly, she must be mature in Christ and continuously growing spiritually. Lastly, she must understand God’s calling on her life. If she is not already involved in a ministry, she must be actively seeking to become involved in one.
What qualities are you looking for in the person you date?
She must be humble, transparent and kind. She has to be passionate about people who are outside of the church and unafraid of culture when ministering while using her past experiences as a means to reach the unsaved and other Christians in need.
How do you juggle dating and your kids?
The weekdays are reserved for my kids. The weekends, either one or two days are set aside for quality time with the person I am dating.
When do you feel is the right time for you to introduce your kids to the person you are dating?
I strongly believe that an introduction should take place when I can see myself married to the person that I am dating.
What type of ministry and/or ministries do you serve in?
Preaching, Worship Leader, and Discipleship, but Assistant Pastor is my current role.
How long have you been actively serving within a ministry and/or ministries?
I have been serving in my current role as an Assistant Pastor for a year and a half. Prior to serving in this capacity as Assistant Pastor, I served as a Sr. Pastor, Associate Pastor, Church Planter since 2000, and Pastor of Worship.
What is your goal when it comes to marriage and ministry?
My goal is to get married again and start a church planting movement. It is my desire that my future wife will have her own distinct role within various ministries aside from being the pastor’s wife.
