What do you do for the church?

I'm the founding pastor and serve as one of the lead teachers.

What excites you about Redemption Church?

I'm praying the Spirit will use the people of Redemption Church to live a biblically-changed life in "their world". I'm excited by the compelling vision of people invading their city, the Valley, and the state on message and on mission.

The Last Boy (Jane Leavy), and Christian Mission in the Modern World (John Stott).

Given the choice between a vacation in New York or a vacation in Yellowstone, which would you choose and why?

Shania Twain's Greatest Hits.
