2018 Was Great!
I was privileged to speak several places in 2018. I always preach and teach in my local context, but I was invited to speak several other places this year. I preached to both teens and adults. I did training for youth leaders and I’m looking forward to what 2019 has in store. Here is a sermon that I was able to preach at Middletown Church of the Nazarene. This was particularly special for me since that is the church where I first began to pursue my call and forged relationships that are still impacting me to this day.
If you would like to have me come speak, preach, or train, just go to this form.
