About Me

I'm here to Urge you to Trust Christ, Unite with a local body of believers, Recongize why God created you, and challenge you to live a No-Compromise lifestyle in Christ. I've committed my life to the Great Commission and Great Commandment and hope you'll do the same as UTURN your life over to Christ.

My Interests

Movies:

My favorit movie of all time would have to be "Better Off Dead" with John Cusack. It's a quircky film with no real substance but I love it.

Television:

Think about your friendships

Books:

I think everyone should read anything C.S. Lewis, I'm also getting into Erwin McManus' books(keen insite). If you're getting ready to graduate, there's a book called "Freshmen" by Mark Matlock you should give a read. Young men should read "Point Man" by Steve Ferrar and any book of his that follows. By all means take the time each day to read your Bible, theres life in every word(disclaimer- if you're not a Christian some of it will be offensive and won't be clear, but read it anyway).

Heroes:

My hero is my Grandpa who went to be with the Lord this past summer!

Deny Self?

Last night we had a great discussion about following Jesus.  It's amazing how in our culture we have tamed Jesus to be a boring safe guy.  As we talked last night Jesus was like the most ins...
