Discipling the Next Generation
I am the proud husband of Diane and father of two wonderful daughters. I serve as the Lead Pastor at Fellowship Baptist Church in Joplin, MO. I am passionate about the gospel of Jesus Christ and discipling the next generations. I also enjoy visiting our National Parks with my family, reading stories from U.S. history, and cheering on the Arkansas Razorbacks.

An overview of Paul’s letter to the church in Galatia.
I share a list of 20 books and the reasons I chose each book that make up my intentional reading plan for 2020.
It reminds us that this present fallen world is not all there is; soon we will live with and enjoy God forever in the new city, in the new heaven and the new earth, where we will be fully and forever freed from all sin and will inhabit renewed, resurrection bodies in a renewed, restored creation.
Christ physically ascended on our behalf, just as he came down to earth physically on our account, and he is now advocating for us in the presence of his Father, preparing a place for us, and also sends us his Spirit.
Christ triumphed over sin and death by being physically resurrected, so that all who trust in him are raised to new life in this world and to everlasting life in the world to come. Just as we will one day be resurrected, so this world will one day be restored. But those who do not trust in Christ will be raised to everlasting death
Christ rose bodily from the grave on the third day after his death and is seated at the right hand of the Father, ruling his kingdom and interceding for us, until he returns to judge and renew the whole world.
God chooses and preserves for himself a community elected for eternal life and united by faith, who love, follow, learn from, and worship God together. God sends out this community to proclaim the gospel and prefigure Christ’s kingdom by the quality of their life together and their love for one another.
