Series: Evangelism Using God's Creation
Romans 1:20 tells us “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse.” This class will explore ways we can use God’s creation to evangelize and strengthen the faith of those around us. We will also examine the extensive evidence that God has given us through His creation.
I joined the Madison family in January of 2016. I started my career serving the Lord in 2000 in Lima, Peru, at the Lucyana Iglesia de Cristo, where I preached until 2007. On a medical mission trip, I met my wife, Emily, in Lima. We were married in Nashville, TN, in 2007. Since then, I have been working to help reach out to the Hispanic population as an ESL coordinator and Hispanic minister in Nashville, TN, Franklin, TN, and Peoria, IL.
I have a degree in Arts Education and am working on a Masters in Ministry. I have gained a great deal of experience with his field work in ministry and receive a lot of support and help from my wife. Emily and I are Alabama football fans (Roll Tide!), Kentucky basketball fans (Go Big Blue!), and Peru soccer/futbol (Arriba, Perú!). I like to travel, play music, and read. Emily and I are very blessed to be a part of the Iglesia and church family at Madison.
I joined our ministry team in March of 2020. I am a native of Mobile, AL but have spent much of my life in the Shoals area of Alabama, as well. I have a Bible and Ministry degree from Harding University. While at Harding, I met and married my incredible wife Lindsey, from Snellville, GA. I have been in full-time ministry since 2012. In August of 2018, we were blessed with a precious little girl named Mallory. My favorite team is Alabama. I love the outdoors, watching college football, and hanging out with Mallory and Lindsey.
After growing up as an army brat, my family moved to east Tennessee where I graduated high school. Afterwards, I went to Freed-Hardeman University and graduated in 2017. The following year, I was able to marry my wife, Sarah, and begin work alongside the Madison church as a youth minister. A few years later, I began work on a Masters of Divinity as well. My favorite hobbies include reading, golf, traveling, ping pong, and finding unique places to eat. In 2022 we welcomed our first child, Eliza, and in 2024 our second child, Finn. Our family loves being part of a church family where we can be one small part of a group working to grow the kingdom of God.
