About Me

I grew up in church, but I was never into it. I was the “good Christian boy” for a while, but eventually I dropped the faith label altogether. I went after anything that came into my head, and went wherever the lust of my flesh led me. I became a vehement enemy of Christianity, as the religion I saw. Raging with anger, drowning in pain, and swallowed by darkness; I slowly descended into a living hell. But I had parents who knew how to pray.

To make a long story short, I found myself lying face up on a church floor, being filled with an intoxicating peace that changed my life. I suddenly came face to face with a Spirit that I had been warring against my whole life–yet all His presence did was fill me with the understanding that I was loved and valued. I decided that truly this was God, and I would spend the rest of my life chasing Him.

I had a small background in piano and voice (but not enough to do much with), and fortunately, I was part of a youth group that desperately needed a piano player–and so I picked up the instrument I had abandoned in elementary school. The band dissolved quickly, but I fell in love with worship.  I began to spend hours alone with a piano and God, worshiping Him for the sake of worship.  At other times I would pour over the Word of God, searching out it’s truths–wrestling with the knowledge of God. Soon, God opened doors for to preach and speak those truths, or lead people in worship. This is how I find myself now where I am at.

Currently, I am a worship leader on the prayer room staff at the Chattanooga House of Prayer. If you are unfamiliar with it, ChattHOP is a community of believers that have come together to seek the face of God in their city.  Aside from that, I do freelance  ministry whenever I can. It is my passion to to love and follow Jesus with my life and pull as many people into that same lifestyle as I can. I desire to see the Church flourish as a  Bride fervently in love with Jesus, and walking in power, holiness, and identity. God has such a desire to bring a people close to His heart, and He is worthy to receive honor and glory,  and the fullness of every whim.

He’s just so glorious.

Music Library

 Welcome to the Music Library

This is my little corner of the internet where I keep all my archived worship sets. It would be nice if I could follow you around all day and lead worship for you every time you wanted to pray… Unfortunately, I don’t exactly feel the Holy Spirit moving me toward that ministry. But this is my solution: raw, unadulterated worship. All of them recorded live at ChattHOP, fresh from the presence of God. No cutting, no editing. Oh, did I tell you the best part? It’s free. 100% and string-less. So go ahead and kick back, lift your hands, and sing as off key as you need to. Worship as much and as long as you want. He’s worthy.

Take Some Home.

If it was legal for me to just give it all away, I would. Unfortunately, there are obstacles. However, when I have a chunk of awesome, original work you better believe I’m going to give it away. Unlike the Archives this will be a more permanent part of the site. They are free to download, free to share. If you want to mass produce CDs, rent a jet, and release them like little worship bombs on major cities in the world–well that’s your business. The only rule: you can’t sell them. This is free for everyone. Enjoy.

Giving

I have received freely, and freely I give. I trust God to supply for His will, and He does. There are always expenses, but they will be covered by God, so please feel no obligation to give, unless the Holy Spirit is leading you to do so. If you are going to give, be aware: I am not a non-profit organization, and your gift is not tax deductible. Thanks for considering a gift, and being the vessel through which God provides.

Why Isn’t It Tax Deductible?

Well let me start by saying, that’s a loaded question. Remember, when you jump through hoops at the DMV, you’re paying the government. When it comes to laws regarding non-profit gifts, we are talking about people not paying the government. A basic principle they have is that a minister should be ordained, licensed, or commissioned. I haven’t been any of those things. So for the record, I’m not scamming anybody, I just don’t meet the governments requirements. If this makes you uncomfortable (or even if it doesn’t), I highly recommend giving this gift to someone like Iris Ministries, or Global Celebration–helping the widows and orphans.
