About

I am a husband, father, pastor, and writer. I’m also the Managing Partner of Employee Care of America, a workplace chaplaincy business.

This blog is about shaping character, transforming church, and impacting culture. I believe that if one defines their moments, then their moments will determine their character, and their character will influence their world.

I write on personal development, church leadership, and our changing culture. I also write about the resources I am developing and the books I am writing.

My goal is to create challenging, relevant, and inspiring content that will help you be a better person, the church be a better parish, and the world a better place. If you are interested in those things, this blog is for you.

I have served the church my entire career as a student minister and senior pastor. I studied at Samford University, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and Northern Baptist Theological Seminary (eventually I will get it).

I have written eight books. My most recent ones are Forgiveness: A Lovely Idea Until . . . , Chapter 13: The Excellence of Love ,and Soul Therapy: The Healing Words of Psalm 23. They are available as eBooks. Click on books below for purchasing. I have written over 1000 articles for various local, regional, and national publications.

I have been married to Cindy for thirty-three years. We have one wonderful daughter. We live in Greenville, SC.

In my free time, I enjoy writing, reading, running, tennis, and golf.
