NICE TO MEET YOU.


All the great passions of my life can be found in this single photo above:

  • My life has collapsed into Jesus

  • My family means the world to me

  • I love my church

Here’s my “official” bio:

Bachelor of Arts
Columbia College, Chicago (2000)

Master of Arts in Christian Ministry

Ashland Theological Seminary, Ohio (2002)

Doctor of Ministry
Liberty University, Virginia (2023)

With 22 years of full-time ministry under my belt, I am the founding pastor of Life Church, recognized in 2019 as the fastest-growing church in Michigan and 11th fastest-growing church in America.  

My first book,
Holy Shift, is an Amazon Bestseller.  I have also served as a Hospice Chaplain in our region as well as currently host the LeaderShift Podcast.  

I am focused on strategic leadership and engaging teaching, all fueled by a gnawing passion for
reaching people far from God. 

My unique ministry approach has been featured online in
Time Magazine, USA Today,
The Detroit News, MLive and The Washington Times.  

Married twenty-five years to
my high school sweetheart, I have five amazing children that we have adopted plus a wiener dog with a nervous bladder and a large Goldendoodle named Mollie.

CHURCH PLANTING IN MICHIGAN


We started Life Church Michigan from scratch with absolutely nothing:

  • No people

  • No money

  • No facility

  • and No clue!

Today there are 1,200 people who call our church their home across three campus locations.

According to LifeWay Research and Outreach Magazine, we are one of the fastest-growing churches in America.
