  • Author of a book focusing on the cultural decline of America, the failure of Evangelical churches, and the urgent need for revival.
  • I conducted over 18 months of research on the mental health crisis among youth and the impact of a lack of biblical worldview on their depression.
  • Advocating for a 3rd Great Awakening and calling for pastors and leaders to step up and revive their courage within the Church.

  • I served in pastoral leadership roles, among the USA Army soldiers in West Germany, providing biblical counseling and guidance to individuals facing cultural and spiritual challenges.
  • I'm working to equip the Church to address the mental health crisis and to confront the rise of secularism and socialism in American culture.
  • My future book will be a training manual for children, youth and college pastors. My book will be training and mentoring upcoming leaders in the Christian faith, focusing on preaching a message of repentance, salvation, and biblical worldview.
  • I will challenge our church leaders to lead a revival in their churches and communities, focusing on restoring biblical truth with courage and engaging youth with a call to repentance, faith and commitment, rather than a weak and passive "accept Jesus."
