This blog “A Place for the God-Hungry” is where I share thoughts about life, ministry, marriage, parenting, leadership and ministry. I have been writing this blog since 2004. More than anything, I want this to be an encouraging place.
I serve as Vice President of Harding School of Theology (January 2014) in Memphis, Tennessee.
Early Years
I was raised in Dallas, Texas. I graduated from the University of North Texas with a degree in Business Management. Later, I studied at Heritage Christian University (Formerly International Bible College) for two years, Abilene Christian University (M.Div.), and Harding School of Theology (D.Min.).
Ministry Background
For 36 years, I preached primarily for three congregations: College Church of Christ, Florence, Alabama (1982-1990); Gladstone Church of Christ, Kansas City, Missouri (1990-1993); and Crestview Church of Christ, Waco, Texas (1993-2013).
I am a Mentoring Partner for Hope Network Ministries and regularly lead mentoring groups.
Family
Charlotte and I have two daughters and a son-in-law. Christine and her two boys, Brody and Lincoln live in Memphis. Cal and Jamie (and their baby due in December) live in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
