About Me

Hi everyone! I have a wife, and three kids...two of which are awesome teens, and live in Nashville where I do real estate investing, and inner city ministries. I have been a minister for about twenty years in various locations, performing missions work, youth ministry, music ministry and various other positions. I worked with Law enforcement for five or so years as a Police Chaplain, who was in charge of trauma care. I came back to my home town to start a new church for people of all ethnicities and backgrounds in the downtown Nashville area. This will not be you old school church with steeples, organs and pews, but rather a relational church that cares about and meets people where they are. I also write books and leadership articles for an Asian Web Magazine. According to research, many people believe that there is a God, and even would say that they are a Christian, but do not go to church. Many people feel that church is pointless and has no meaning or purpose. On the other hand, you may be someone who treats religion like "speed dating". You have tried Buddhism, Shinto, Yoga, Islam or one of the kagillion other religions out there, but still have no peace. Like Bono of U2 sings, you "still haven't found what you're looking for". You may be one of those people. If so, and you are in the Nashville area, e-mail me, or write me on my blog either here or http://www.liftchurch.org . I would love to hear from you, and your ideas concerning God. Peace, Jory

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The Governor of Tennessee, The President of the United States, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, anybody from Nashville, Bill Cosby, Robert Kyosaki, Steve Jobs, Michael Dell, Rinehard Bonkkee, Jack Hayford, Rick Warren, Miles Munroe, Rush Limbaugh, Colin Powell, Condi Rice, Al Sharpton, and ohhh the guy or gal who invented sushi.
