Sr. High Youth Minister

What do you do at Grace Evan?

I have the privilege of forming relationships with Sr. High students in order to show them the grace that Christ has shown me. This comes by immersing myself in their lives. Also, I teach on Sundays and Wednesdays through different books of the Bible knowing that the word of God is truly the only thing that will change lives. In all that I do at Grace, my prayer is that the Sr. High will experience the grace and love of Christ, and then in turn share it with all that they come in contact with.

Are you a northerner or a southerner?

Definitely a southerner. I was raised in Brandon, MS and now live in Cordova.

What are your favorite books, movies, music, tv...?

As for books, I like anything by Martyn Lloyd-Jones, John Piper, and Anthony Hoekema. Lately, I have been intrigued with The Call by Os Guinness.  Movies...well, I'm pretty hooked on the Rocky series and any epic adventure such as Gladiator, Braveheart, etc. Music...my ipod is filled with all types of genres. I'm sad to say that I'm a mile wide and an inch deep when it comes to that aspect of my life. And lastly, TV...hmmm, 24. Enough said.

Family?

I have been blessed with a wonderful family. I am married to Elaine and have two children, Emma and Jack. Of course I can't leave out my Black Lab, Maggie.

What's your favorite pastime?

As unspiritual as this might sound, I love sitting in front of the TV with my family and friends, watching shows like 24 and American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance.  Of course this can't be done without Elaine making a huge plate of chocolate chip cookies.  Other than that, I really enjoy mountain biking and goofing off with my kids.
