About Chris

Thanks for checking out my blog.  Let me tell you a little bit about my background.  I grew up Kalamazoo/Portage, Michigan.  My parents divorced when I was five, I did not grow up going to church, and by the time I came to college I was a spiritual skeptic.  I often argued and debated campus pastors in college telling them why the Bible is full of errors and why all Chrisitans were nothing but hypocrites.

I spent part of my college experience in London, England studying philosophy, and it was there that God changed my life in Christ and placed me on a new path of living.

Today, I am an ordinary guy trying to serve an extraordinay God.  I am humbled to be in Christ and still cannot believe I am living this life.  It is hard to live for Christ, but there is no greater life to live. 

I am a University of Michigan fan (where I graduated), I have inherited the curse of being a Detroit Lions fan (something I am trying to reverse with my son), and I love to play just about all sports.   My favorite hobby is hanging out with my family.  I have a beautiful wife and four unbelievable kids. 

I serve in a church where people actually want to be the church with genuineness and authenticity.  It is a revolutionary concept.  I am a living example of God’s power of grace in a person’s life.
