About Me

I’m your average guy with average abilities given by an awesome God. I do what I do in effort to please him (Psalm19:14, “May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.”)

I am married to a wonderful Christ-follower, Heather. Yes…we really are an eharmony.com success story. Our first baby, Evangeline Ruth was born in December (the 19th). We also have a great dog named Summer and a cat named Selah.

I am the Minister of Creative Worship for East Pickens Baptist Church in Pickens, SC. I have been serving in this capacity since July of 2009. I received my bachelor of music degree from Samford University in Birmingham, AL and my Masters of Music degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, TX.

  1. Nice site. I got here by searching for a paper John Piper wrote many years ago, unpacking Bruce Leafblad’s definition of worship that you have in your left-hand column. Have you ever seen that paper, or know where a copy can be found? Thanks.

  2. Barry… I have not seen that paper by Piper. If you run across it, I’d love to see it.

    I do have a book by various authors entitled “Experience God in Worship” put out by Group. Dr. Leafblad has his exegesis of the Isaiah 6 passage – the divine dialogue as he says. It is a pretty good article and you can even hear Dr. Leafblad’s voice every time you run across the word “God”.

    Let me know if you find that article…or anyone else out there finds it!

  3. Thanks, Bobby. I once had a printed copy. If I can find it, I’ll scan it and let you know.

    By the way, I thought it was interesting you mentioned Isaiah 6. My pastor is preaching through the book of Isaiah and preached a great message on that chapter about 4 weeks ago.

    Thanks again.

  4. Nice blog. When did you graduate from SWBTS?
