Tell us about your family.
- I have been married to my wife, Tammy, for 24 years. She is truly the love of my life. Together, we have been blessed with three children, Isaac, Autumn, and Christian. As a family, we enjoy traveling together and cheering each other on in various sporting events like football, basketball, and volleyball. Family time is one of the greatest gifts God has given me, and I treasure it deeply.

Why should we preach the Minor Prophets?
- Because they are part of God’s Inspired Word. They might be minor in length, but they are major in impact and application. The Minor Prophets give us a clearer picture of God’s character, His holiness, His justice, and His mercy. They confront sin directly while also offering incredible hope through God’s promises. In many ways, they connect the story of God’s people to the fulfillment we find in Christ. By preaching the Minor Prophets, we help our churches see how relevant God’s Word is, even when overlooked, and how it all points us to Jesus.
