I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Friend of God, Husband and worship leader. I am blessed and privileged to lead worship at The Rock Church of the Quad Cities in Davenport, Iowa (www.rockqc.com) where my main focus and goal is to lead people into passionate praise and intimate worship. The music that I am currently doing has a universal sound as I lead worship for not only our main worship service, but also for our Wednesday night youth service where I minister a more "cutting edge" sound with our youth team: New Wine. The primary focus of a Wednesday night service is centered around authenticity, unpredictability and to bring a sound that crosses genre lines. The focus of a Sunday morning is to find a way to bring "all men" into the presence of God in a worshipful way. I play guitar, piano and sing and am honored to be chosen as one of the many who lead and disciple people into advancing the kingdom through music.

Blog to Bible

So once again I come to you via blog using it as an altar to "confess my sins to man" so-to-speak. I just got back from a holiday in Myrtle Beach, SC.  Most of the time it seems that when one goe...

Spirit of David

Spirit of David... So often we see this phrase "I've got the spirit of David," and we immediately relate it to "PRAISE HARD! DANCE HARD! KILL THE DEVIL!"  I'm guilty myself.  But today I go...

Disposable Preach...

Allow me to start by letting everyone know that when I post blogs that sound a bit "preachy," that most of what I'm saying is meant to encourage MYSELF (and hold MYSELF accountable).  T...

Don't be a Blabbermouth

Call me a mix between meloncholy and phlegmatic... but I often wonder what might happen if people took God's creative advice and listened twice as much as they spoke.  While spending time wi...

A call to enlist...

There is only one Lord, one faith, and one salvation.  There is only one way to Heaven.  Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the life.  Nobody can get to Heaven except through me." ...

Jezebel

So often I find myself asking a question I once heard Justin ask the men (and boys) of Ground Zero once when all the women were absent... "If men boys would be men, would girls be ladies?"  It's ...
