Brief story of how you came to faith:  I was raised in a Christian missionary family, and grew up quite involved in our church. However, I believe my true conversion, the moment I truly recognized the gravity of my sin and my need for a savior, came at a youth camp when I was about 16 years old. I made the decision to pursue Christ, not because I had to, but because I wanted to and needed to. Both to fulfill His will on this earth, as well as partake in eternity with him.

Brief story of how you came to faith:  I came to faith in the fall of 2002 at the age of 32 – Had been wresting with God more intimately for about 6 months – was a loan officer at a major bank, and heard this Dave Ramsey guy on the radio that was teaching finances differently than the bank, and it made sense. Then he ended his radio program with “There is only one way to true peace, and that is with the Prince of Peace Christ Jesus”  I was shocked – why is this radio guy bringing Jesus into this money issue – Over the summer of 2002 I read 2 of Dave’s books, saw him live was exposed to dozens of scriptures, then listened to Dave’s personal testimony and cried out to Jesus as my LORD and Savior – My life hasn’t been the same since.

Hobbies & Interests: hiking, exploring, learning new things

Brief story of how you came to faith:  I came to faith through the witness of my parents and the teaching of the Word in our local church. My parents’ obedience to Christ had some pretty radical implications – like moving to other countries to share the hope of Jesus and see churches planted. My own faith has always been formative, but it was in my college years that I began to let the lordship of Christ expand into more and more areas of my life. My wife Emily and I are still growing in our faith and in our understanding of what it means to follow Jesus for us today.

Hobbies & Interests: Cori and I live on a 20-acre farm just outside of York, where we raise sheep, cows, chickens—and more dogs than any one family probably should.

Brief story of how you came to faith:  I’ve always been spiritually inclined. Growing up Catholic, I took my faith seriously serving as an altar boy and even considering the priesthood. In my teens, my family left the Catholic Church and joined the Worldwide Church of God (WCG), a legalistic, works-based group focused on Old Testament laws, like Sabbath-keeping, dietary rules, and multiple tithes.
In college, I started to examine and own my faith. I came to believe that Jesus died for my sins, and that salvation was by grace, and I was baptized. But even then, I felt I had to earn it—working hard, keeping the laws, and doing my part. For years, I struggled under the weight of trying to measure up: observing the Sabbath, navigating complicated tithing rules, even avoiding doctors due to misplaced faith. It became exhausting, and over time, it felt more like a burden than joy.
A turning point came when our son Ryan nearly died from a burst appendix. During that crisis, I surrendered to Jesus in a way I never had before—not to bargain, but to truly trust Him, no matter the outcome. That moment reshaped my faith.
A few years later, WCG experienced a dramatic transformation. The focus shifted from law-keeping to grace, from religion to relationship. There was a dramatic realization Christ had fulfilled the need to keep the Sabbath, holidays, tithes, and all the other laws. His life, death, resurrection, grace, and a personal relationship with Him took center stage. Cori and I embraced this change with newfound passion.
Looking back, my journey has had many twists and turns. Even when my theology was screwed up, Jesus remained faithful. Through the Holy Spirit, God called me into a relationship with Him. I’ve come to realize that I cannot rely on my own efforts or righteousness, and nothing I do can meet God’s standards.
The more I grow, the more I see how desperately sinful my heart is. But I have a Savior, and I rest in faith that Jesus paid it all. I am a child of God, and I praise the God who saves.
