4. Tell us about
your relationship with God. My
relationship with God has been something that I have found to be such an
amazing ride in my relatively young life. I grew up in a Christian household
but it wasn’t really til college that faith and my relationship with God took
the driver seat. Since then I have been through interesting jobs, relationships
with friends, periodic sickness and just lots of stressful situations. And at
the end and during it all God has been there, even in my lack of effort to meet
him halfway God has grabbed me and picked me up when I didn’t know how to
continue on. Now I am in what I would consider the beginning of the best part
so far and it is all because of him.
5. What are you
studying now? I am currently studying and reading through
Craig Groeschel’s book “Fight” which has so far been a great read. This book is
about being able to identify the fights you need to engage in and how to
prepare to defeat the demons in your life to protect and prosper your family,
marriage, and spiritual walk.
6. What brought you
to The Ridge? My wife and I had just
moved to Ankeny after being married and were looking for a new church family.
We were coming from a great church family and wanted a similar feeling of
closeness and community. We stopped in one morning to check out The Ridge and
sat in Sunday morning service, the service seemed pretty good, but what really
stuck out to us was Pastor Mike saying, “here we go through all of the bible,
even if it makes me uncomfortable standing up here and talking about it” This
was a statement that grabbed our attention and something we really connected
with. After service had ended we both agreed that it was a good message, but
there was still a part of us that was saying, we need that community, that
family. And God responded immediately for separate instances of people from the
church body came up to not only greet us, but invest into our life and wanted
to get to know us more. This was monumental, this was God answering prayers
with a loud and clear
7. Tell us about
your family. I am the youngest of 4 kids
and the tallest as well. We grew up in Des Moines, IA we lived in Urbandale for
all of my life, and attended Johnston School District. We attended First
Assembly on Merle Hay growing up, my parents still attend this church. My
oldest sister Angela is doctor currently living in Detroit, MI. My second
