| Introduction | I have an amazing wife of 10 years named Monica, and 4 kids, Josiah 8, Abigail 5, Eliana 3, and Talia 18 mo. I am a former Pharisee who has given up religion to follow Jesus. My reason for being is to be a missionary to my generation here at home. My specific expression of that calling is to work with traditional churches to bridge the gap between the culture and the local church, and to start new connection points to help them become missional again. Currently that home is in Westlake, Ohio, an upscale suburb of Cleveland. Most days I think it would be easier to be a missionary in Africa or some other far off place. But I love what I do now that I have submitted to follow where He leads. |
