Hey Everyone. Welcome to my pastor blog. I’m a husband, father, pastor, blogger, and aspiring author based in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. My mission is to glorify God, proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, and encourage people to choose faith, hope, and love in a world that desperately needs those virtues.
On this blog, I write first to encourage and shepherd the members, guests, and friends of Olney Baptist Church (OBC). But I also write to equip Christian leaders with Bible-based wisdom for life and leadership, and to help Christians and churches wisely navigate the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century — including the rise of AI.
Let me quickly say that not all of the content on this blog represents the official views or positions of OBC. Responsibility for the writing here rests with me.
I’ve been in full-time ministry for over twenty years and currently serve as the Senior Pastor of Olney Baptist Church in Montgomery County, Maryland. I previously served as the pastor of a wonderful congregation in Clinton County, Ohio. In addition to pastoral ministry, I’ve had the privilege of teaching in three different Christian schools and serving as a part-time administrator at one of them.
Before my call to ministry, I worked with associations and nonprofits in roles that included writing, project management, and public relations.
My experiences have given me a broad perspective on life, faith, and leadership.
