Baptism and faith received in Christ forever seal, bind, and enslave the sinner to God and his righteousness. The slave to God has been forgiven of all sin, declared righteous and free from enslavement to sin on account of Christ. Those joyfully bound to God in Christ are responsive instruments of righteousness for now and forever. Born and Baptized in 1980 in the Lutheran Church (LCMS) in Watauga, Ft. Worth, TX. I lived in Springfield, MO from childhood to adulthood. Met my wonderful wife and raised three wonderful children together there. I love to read the Bible and spend time with family, especially, in God's Word together. I enjoy deer hunting and crappie fishing with my dad, listening to metal music, learning and singing Hymns, and playing guitar. Pursued pastoral training in 2013 at the age of 33 after sobering up from a 21-year addiction to drugs and alcohol. My endeavor to seminary thus began, to learn and grow to preach and teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Earned a BS in Biblical Theology in 2018 at Liberty University, a MA in Theology at Concordia Irvine in 2022, and currently enrolled as an MDiv student at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis. MO.
