What do you do at Grace Evan?
My title is Minister of Adult Discipleship but what I really do is challenge folks to overestimate the grace of the gospel. Can’t do it because…see favorite verse:

Are you a northerner or a southerner?
Nothing personal but I wasn’t aware that The Great War is over! Does that answer your question?

Your favorite book, movie and music?
Whatever I’m reading at the time, I like. Keller, Piper, too. Favorite movie is Friday Night Lights-been there. Music is Zika and Jamie’s wedding CD—great tunes, great event. Plus, classic and southern rock from back in the day. Revelation Song by anyone who sings it is a great worship song.

Family

Married to Marilyn 31 years. WE have 3 sons-Cullen, Cameron, Carter; 1 daughter Taylor, ranging from 28 to 19 years in age. 1 dog, Macy and 3 cats, Rikky Bobby, Little Jerry, and The Orange Cat. I grew up in Louisiana, Marilyn in Mississippi. We've lived in Houston, Jackson, MS, St. Louis, and Anna, IL-loved them all.

Favorite hobby?  Marilyn. It’s good to have a hobby that you love. Also like golf and skiing and all sports.

Favorite exercise?   Eating

Favorite verse: Ephesians 3:20….”Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all you can ask or think.”  

“The life of a child of God is a doxology to his Father.”
