A 9-part Series on the Fruit of the Spirit
When you’re hurting, peace and joy can feel impossible. But I’ve learned these aren’t feelings we wait for. With God’s help, they’re something we choose. In these nine short videos, I walk through the fruit of the Spirit, and how to live it out when life is hard.

Who I Am
I’m a pastor, author, and speaker. I lead Preaching Christ Church in Kingsport, Tennessee, and founded Awakened to Grace ministry to share that same hope with people far beyond our walls.
When I suddenly went blind at thirty-eight, I didn’t understand why God would allow it. Maybe you’ve wrestled with the same questions I did.
Is God punishing me?
Has He forgotten me?
The hope I found in that dark season became my message:
It’s okay to not have all the answers,
and you can still hold on to Him.
Today I share that message through my books, a weekly devotional, a podcast, and the radio, for anyone in a hard place. I want to help you trust a God you can’t see.
Books
Writing is one of the ways I get to walk with people through the hard seasons. Here are a few places to begin.
