Tell us about your family.
I am married to Ebony for almost 18 years. We have twins, Titus and Leah, in the 7th grade. We love to try out new restaurants and have fun at places like Dave n Busters and Round 1. Ebony and I like to sneak away to grab lunch together while the kids are distracted with their tablets.
How have you seen God working in your family?
God has kept us steady and united through times with my wife's health (she has MS) and our kids growing up (middle schoolers). We've leaned on each other. We've prayed together. We've traveled together. And we try to love each other with all of our flaws.
How have you seen God working in your life?
God has been teaching me just how big He is and how He cannot be domesticated. 2025 was a rather tough year for me personally and professionally, and yet I grew closer to God because I was shown humble access to the throne of grace and mercy time after time.
How have you seen God working in your church?
We've seen people come with the intent to change and control what we do and how we do it. Those people have since left. The ones who have stayed are showing themselves to be about God's work and not their personal agenda. God is deepening our love for Him and our neighbor, while using our creativity to imagine a community of faith that oozes the hope of Jesus to people who are hurting and hopeless.
What is your church’s mission/vision?
Jubilee's mission is GETTING HEAVEN INTO YOU
Jubilee's vision is ATTACKING THE GATES OF HELL WITH THE LOVE OF JESUS AND THE TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL SO THE HURT, LOST, LOOKED OVER, BOUNDED, AND OUTCAST CAN KNOW AND EXPERIENCE THE GRACE AND MERCY OF GOD
How can we be praying for you?
1. That our care for our community helps them to trust us
2. That more seekers and unchurched people find us
3. That we lean on the Spirit to do the work God's given us to do
