About Me
Sometimes God shows up when and where you least expect Him. That’s the way it has been since spring of 2021. God has confirmed and affirmed that I have been called to the campus of Indiana State University as a Fellowship of Christian Athletes Area Representative. My family is excited, as Jennifer, my wife of 29 years, and I are both ISU alumni. Our son, Schyler, currently a junior at Purdue Fort Wayne, has grown up attending ISU basketball and some of our favorite family outings have involved following ISU sports.
Over this past year, God has once again clearly spoken through His Word and through His people. Earlier in my career, He guided me into ministry, leaving behind a store management position with Lowe’s. Since 1994, I have worked in ministry as a youth pastor, lead pastor and an executive pastor. Now, I am being called by God and sent by the church on a new mission to reach coaches and athletes with the transforming message of the Gospel.
Matthew 28:19-20 directs us to “Go and make disciples.” What greater opportunity than to engage with athletes and college students with the Gospel, equip them with spiritual tools for discipleship, and empower them to make disciples! Other than witnessing a conversion experience, nothing is more fulfilling to me than seeing students excited about studying God’s Word and seeing it take root in their lives.
It is my desire to see everyone, everywhere reached with the grace-filled, salvation message of Jesus Christ by engaging in relationships, equipping with the Truth of the Gospel, and empowering each to make disciples that make disciples. My prayer is to help each coach and athlete develop in integrity, service, teamwork, and excellence through Chapel Services, Coaches Huddles, Team Huddles, All-Sport Huddles, Leadership Training, and this Blog.
I presently serve as an ISU Football Chaplain and ISU Basketball Character Coach with Nations of Coaches. I serve as an Advisor for the FCA Chapter, recognized by the Campus Life organizations. I also serve as a Harrison Assessment Career Counselor and Job Coach, following a recent accreditation.
We are excited about God’s call to this mission with FCA and Nation of Coaches. Our passion is to experience God’s redemptive work in the heart of athletes and witness them fulfilling their higher purpose as they impact the community and world for the kingdom of God. Our family asks that you would prayerfully consider joining our team with prayer and financial support.
