Sites like Twitter and Facebook ask for a 1 line bio of who you are. I LOVE the simplicity of that, but hey…this is a blog. So here is that 1 line bio (Christ Follower. Husband. Father. Worship Leader. Church Planter.), defined…
I am a:
Christ Follower
I am a follower of Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1). He is my King, my Savior, my friend. I was brought into this world a sinner (Romans 3:23), Christ died for my sins (Romans 8:1-4), and I am now a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:16-18). I deny myself, take up my cross daily, and follow after Christ (Luke 9:23).
Husband
I was married to the love of my life, Melissa Marie O’Neal, on December 13, 2008. We are just now coming up on 1 year of marriage and I definitely married “up”. Melissa is an amazing wife and she is what drives me to be a better person. She is my best friend in the whole world and my partner in this thing called life.
Father
I am a father to be. Our baby is now growing inside my wife (what a miracle of life) and we are expecting March 10, 2010. This will be a brand new venture that I’m sure will bring new challenges but I can’t wait to strive to be the father that God wants me to be.
Worship Leader
I lead worship in churches all over the country. I am currently the worship leader at The Well in Cartersville, Georgia and I absolutely love my job. I work at 1 of the best churches in the nation and I’m just honored to be a part of what God is doing there.
Church Planter
Back in college, I stumbled (full story to come later) into church planting. I helped start The Orchard in Cleveland, Georgia as their Minister of Music. Then I went to West Ridge’s School of Church Planting and started Cross View Community Church in Rockmart, Georgia with Danny Echols. I worked there as their Creative Arts Pastor. Now I’m working alongside Andy Postell at The Well. I love the thought of a new birth for a church and giving the people who were turned off by church the opportunity to think about church done differently.
