I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

i live my life as a servant of God. This is the reason why I breathe, and why I have a chance at life. I am a people person, but also an extreme introvert. Most people believe me to be an extrovert, but I find my daily renewal in solitude with God. Started a rock band after high school and toured around the southeast. Currently am a progressive pastor and missionary (namb missionary to the postmodern mindset north of nashville) for a postmodern southern baptist church in my hometown (www.epiphanybaptist.com). I find my sabbatical, a week per year, in solitude at the Abbey of Gethsemani (www.monks.org). I have the awesome privelege of speaking at churches, student camps, conferences all around America and I also participate in church planter trainings and think tanks all around. I also found the hottest girl, currently walking the earth, and married her. Life is rockin and God is shaking foundations everywhere...I'm lovin' it.

My Interests

building relationships for Christ's sake, i love spending time with my beautiful and entertaining wife steph, reading, fishing, video games. People intrigue me. It is interesting honestly. I am either intrigue in a positive or negative way. People make decisions that simply blow my mind. I love it when people make selfless decisions. When a church is built off of people making selfless decisions, then we will see a church that will change the world.

I'd like to meet:

Billy Graham, Optimus Prime and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Music:

i love just picking up a guitar / mandolin and creating a song. I am not a songwriter, but the raw edge of a new tune is simply exquisite. david crowder rocks, P.O.D., third day, t-bone, grits, the beatles, linkin park, chris tomlin, george strait, alabama, nickle creek

Movies:

all of the batman movies, napolean dynamite, lord of the rings, charlie and the chocolate factory, young guns, tombstone, matrix, and anything else done by tim burton.

Television:

I don't get a lot of time to watch television, but when it is on at the house it is typicaly on one of these: sportscenter, transformers, smallville, cnn - headline news, an occasional reality show. I normally play video games or watch a movie, instead of watching what the television forces me to watch. Kill your television.

Books:

the Bible, Summa Theologica, Books about Postmodernity and the future of the church, Philosophical works, reference materials, post modern works, and readings that connect me with pop culture and current events. I enjoy a lot of non-fiction and believe that fiction is a waste of time.

Heroes:

jesus christ, john the baptist, martin luther king jr., and especially my wife
