It was an amazing night at the Upper Cumberland Young Life annual banquet last night, representing our family and FBC Sparta as partners. Brandon Heath did an incredible job! We’re so grateful for our friend Joe Gregory, our area director & the vision for incarnational ministry to students. #younglife #uppercumberland #fbcsparta (at The River Community Church of Cookeville) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkJhXspPQta/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’ve been along the @midwesternseminary journey with my great friend @jasonkallen from the embryonic discussion stage until now. This is a story of God’s calling, His blessing & His glory! The story of returning to a mission “For The Church,” that I’ve witnessed firsthand, is now in a book format. Read it, learn from these Biblical principles & practices, & let it lead you to praise Jesus, the author of the “Turn Around!” #mbts #turnaround (at FBC Sparta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiLZj4DuNUk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today was the 7th anniversary of my first Sunday at FBC Sparta, on Fathers’ Day of 2015! I neglected this morning to express my gratitude for the wonderful privilege of serving as your pastor these 7 years. Thanks for loving Elicia Walker & my boys so well, and for giving me grace when I fail. Great is God’s faithfulness! I love you and am so proud to be your pastor!

I remember when I turned 16 years old and my parents surprised me with my first vehicle. It was a used, factory model, 1992 white Ford Ranger pickup truck with a purple stripe down the side. I thought it was the coolest truck that I’d ever seen. It was manual, had a bed liner, and a little tint to the windows. I believed it was a unique purchase, different than all other vehicles on the road. To…

Elicia Walker & I love when our boys see a beautiful, Christ-centered wedding. There’s nothing more captivating than a human love that points to the greatest love story, Jesus Christ & The Church! Zack Young has coached them in basketball, Mallory Scott was their babysitter years ago, and both are FBC Sparta members & our great friends. Thank you to Laney Oakes for capturing these for us. She’s an absolutely amazing photographer, FYI. Very special! (at Sparta, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBCZAl0BPW0/?igshid=9zxn0aklnnvg

Congrats to my great, long-time friend, Grant Swallows (& Beth Ann Swallows, even longer 😉) on being named the Director of Schools in Warren County. What an amazing hire by their committee! He’s one of the best leaders that I know. The Swallows family are some of our greatest friends & have had such a huge impact in our community, our family & on FBC Sparta. While Elicia Walker & I are absolutely thrilled about their new opportunity & know that Warren is just next door 😂, they will be sorely missed. Help me in praying for & congratulating them! https://www.southernstandard.com/top-stories/local-headlines/swallows-take-over-may-22/ (at Sparta, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAIkMYSBWJk/?igshid=17p7n3m29so3m
