About Me

Chris by falls.JPG

My passion is to ennoble people to live out their full potential in Christ for God’s glory and Kingdom purposes. I am married to a godly woman who fights for my soul and refuses to let me be anyone less than the man of God she knows me to be in Christ. Our faithful God has carried us through many seasons of severe trials, turning every tear into a testimony.
