I am here for Friends

About Me

Well, let's see... I'm a 19 year old who is currently a student at Cincinnati Christian University, majoring in worship ministries. I'm also a worship leader at Madison Christian Church in Columbus, OH, and I've really enjoyed being a part of the ministry there.Other than that, I'm just a Christian who's trying to do his best to follow Jesus and encourage others to do the same. I also feel like God has called me to be a Christian songwriter and performer, and I am well aware that sounds impossible and rediculous. I love to talk and make new friends, so please add me or comment or whatever!
Jesus is a huge part of my life and I love him dearly! If you are looking for some sort of meaning to life, or just a way to make sense of it all, or for a friend who does not leave your side 24/7, please let me know. I'd love to help you find him. I attend Cincinnati Christian University, and have been walking in Christ for about 4 years now. My favorite verse is probably Psalm 55:22 which says, "Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall." I believe that until we find Jesus Christ, we will always be wandering around, looking for fulfillment, but never finding it. Now is the time to find him, and I'd encourage all of you to do so.Currently, I'm working towards my B.S. in Worship Ministries. All of that's exciting, but I still miss home lol. Anyway, I love to sing and that's all great. I "play" guitar and piano as well and enjoy that. Anyway, I should really shut up and just stop this thing, so I will. Enjoy the site and comment and all that good stuff!

My Interests

Jesus, music, leading worship, talking about Jesus, talking/meeting with people, church, hanging out, NCAA football, NCAA basketball, NFL, NBA, The Bible, theology, golf, volleyball, video games (sports ones pretty much), shopping, American Eagle, the GAP, Express, dancing (but only when no one is watching lol), coffeehouses, indie bands, acoustic music, design, discovering art in the world around me, finding the artist in myself... the list goes on and on...

I'd like to meet:

I'd love to meet Jesus... I'd just like to hear what he'd have to say to me if we sat down for a one on one convo, you know? I'd also like to meet a few dead people, and one day I might get to meet a few of them: people like Martin Luther King, Jr., Mother Teresa, Ghandi (though he wasn't a Christian, so I won't meet him, unfortunately), and Peter.

Music:

Okay, prepare yourself, because this could be a while. Chris Tomlin, Charlie Hall, David Crowder*Band, Matt Redman, Passion Worship, Hillsong, Robbie Seay Band, Shane & Shane, Casting Crowns, Jars of Clay, Ellery (formerly Dividing the Plunder), Jadon Lavik, Switchfoot, Nichole Nordeman, The Believe Band (formerly Foundation Red), Aaron Pelsue Band, Telecast, Third Day, Death Cab for Cutie, The Killers, Mae, Lifehouse, The Fray, The Format, Hot Hot Heat, Interpol, Dashboard Confessional, John Mayer, Damien Rice, Ben Harper, Nada Surf, Kelly Clarkson, Billy Joel, and surely a few that I forgot.

Movies:

I'm a big fan of the emotional tear-jerkers, but mostly I'm a comedy/satire kind of man. I also have a fancy for the "con artist" movies. My favorites include Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Dead Poets' Society, Tommy Boy, Meet the Parents, Zoolander, Remember the Titans, the Bourne trilogy movies, Spiderman 1 and 2, Chronicles of Narnia, Forrest Gump, Erin Brockovich, Hotel Rwanda, Oceans Eleven, Oceans Twelve, and The Italian Job.

Television:

SEINFELD!!!, 24!!!, Everybody Loves Raymond, Law and Order, Law and Order SVU, Crossing Jordan, Matlock (lol don't laugh), SportsCenter, PTI, Around the Horn, What Not to Wear, Austin City Limits, Moving Up and Flip That House.

Books:

The Bible, To Kill A Mockingbird (Harper Lee), anything for that matter in Mrs. Jones' senior english class, Velvet Elvis (Rob Bell), Blue Like Jazz (Donald Miller), Celebration of Discipline (Richard J. Foster), Mere Christianity (C.S. Lewis), Death on a Friday Afternoon: Meditations on the Last Words of Jesus From the Cross (Richard John Neuhaus), The Confessions of St. Augustine (St. Augustine), anything Agatha Christie, and finally, The Way I Was Made (Chris Tomlin).

Heroes:

Obviously Jesus is my number one hero because I am trying to live and model my life after his, but I do have a few modern-day heroes. Martin Luther King, Jr. is a big hero of mine because of the situations in life that he worked to overcome; he is really a beacon of hope that change CAN happen. Ghandi and Nelson Mandela are also big heroes of mine because of their peaceful ways in which they enacted change in some very potentially violent situations. Mother Teresa is a hero of mine because of how she totally gave her life to the poor and ministering to people in the name of Christ. Finally, Martin Luther is a hero of mine, because he is the epitome of a person standing for what they believe in and doing the right thing.
