What is your religious/denominational background? Briefly describe you level of participation in a local church. Include any ministry experience, ordination, etc.
My dad was a Baptist preacher. I grew up in church and my senior year of high school I surrendered to the call of ministry. I have been serving in the church in some capacity since that time. I have been a youth minister, college minister, and camp speaker for many years.
What is your educational background (e.g. your undergraduate major, other degrees, etc.)?
My educational background is a long one. First, in my defense a lot of people go to school for a decade, usually they are called doctors, but that is just a title right? I took a hiatus from school to work and finally finished in December of 2006 with a Bachelors of Science in Speech Communication from Texas A&M Commerce.
What are your career plans for after Truett?
I have been preaching for 16 years in various venues. I had no plans to attend seminary, so as it usually goes, when you aren’t going to do something, that is when God calls you to do it. I applied at the advice of a mentor and was excepted a week later. We moved down another week later. After Truett I plan on pastoring in some manor. My passion is preaching. I eat, drink, and and sleep it.
How can this course best serve you?
I want to gain a better understanding on how to see themes and meanings of the text in order to teach and grow a people.
