Summary

Baptist minister dedicated to clear, contextual Scripture teaching, servant leadership, and Christian encouragement. Committed to helping believers not only know Scripture, but understand its meaning, historical context, and practical application to their daily Christian journey. Called to ministry at the age of 15 while a member of Lily Hill Missionary Baptist Church under the pastoral leadership of Reverend Curtis Seals. After initially stepping back from the calling following counsel from family, continued to sense God's call throughout life and ultimately rededicated himself to ministry after 7 years of active duty military service. Preached his first sermon in November 2024 and continues to develop as a minister through preaching, teaching, prayer, church service, theological education, and hands-on ministry. Passionate about helping congregations move beyond simply quoting Scripture to truly understanding Scripture. A strong desire to make the Word of God understandable, memorable, and applicable. The goal is not simply for people to say, “Amen,” but to leave with understanding. Committed to helping people understand what Scripture says, what it meant to its original audience, why it mattered then, and how God's Word continues to speak into our lives today.
