My passion for ministry is to help students grow in their faith in and knowledge of God. In a world that is increasingly hostile toward Christ and His church, student ministry is growing more and more important. I’m a major fan of using apologetics to teach students that they can be confident in their beliefs. The word Apologetics comes from the Greek word Apologia, which means, “to give a defense of.” Apologetics, at its very core, is about truth, finding the truth of the gospel, and defending the truth of the gospel. Apologetics helps believers grow deeper in their faith, and for that reason, I study it and teach it when I can.
I grew up in Oklahoma and when I was 12 years old, I accepted Christ as my personal Lord and Savior at a camp called God and Country camp. It was a little camp my youth ministry put on to introduce the new 7th graders into the student ministry by having some of the Juniors and Seniors act as the “sponsors”. After high school, I attended Oklahoma Baptist University where I graduated in 2017 with my B.A. in Religion with a Biblical Studies Emphasis (it’s a lot easier to say I was a Bible Major) with a minor in Apologetics. In May of 2024 I graduated from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (SBTS) with my Master of Divinity (M.Div) and a graduate certificate in Apologetics and Philosophy. I am currently working on my Master of Theology (Th.M) in Philosophy and Theological Studies.
While at OBU, I met my wife, LuToria, and soon thereafter, we got married. In our marriage, LuToria and I have been blessed with three boys, Isaiah, Elias, and Jameson. LuToria and I have also had the opportunity to go on several different mission trips both domestic and international. I am a sports fan and will watch basically anything you put in front of me. I typically cheer for any DFW area team like the Cowboys, Rangers, Mavericks, Stars, and FC Dallas, and the college team I cheer for is Texas A&M. Aside from sports, I also enjoy reading fantasy novels, playing video games, and building PC’s.
