Short Description: I’m in my early 30’s, 2 kids and 2 jobs. I’m a pastor and a graphics/web designer. I’ve been in full-time ministry since 2004.
More Details:
Job 1:
I am the Pastor of Development at Christian Heritage Church in Greer, SC. It’s a great church that is growing by discipleship, not by entertaining or marketing. We have a team leadership model, so I am involved in many facets of the ministry – mostly to lend ideas. I teach Momentum on Wednesday nights, write curriculum, maintain the website, oversee discipleship and assimilation, create our graphics, play the drums or bass, and teach on Sunday AM about once every 6 weeks. This is my calling. I spend about 35 hours a week at the church.
Job 2:
I am a self-taught graphic designer who knows his way around CSS/ web design. I work for a company called Martus Solutions in Greenville, SC. Our clients are mostly churches. 20-30 hours.

BA, English – Emmanuel College

My brother told me about your blog. Apparently, you two attended Emmanuel together. He is Rutledge. Anyhow, I have been reading your blog for a while and just thought I would say I enjoy it. Its nice to hear truth and struggle written out honestly.
So, thanks.
