Jesus and me became real! Your preaching made Jesus come alive in my life and in my family.
—J.Z.[/cs_block_grid_item][cs_block_grid_item title=”Block Grid Item 2″]You were not only my husband’s friend but also the man who helped him come to Christ. Thank you for your comfort and hope when he passed last year.
—B.L.[/cs_block_grid_item][cs_block_grid_item title=”Block Grid Item 3″]I sat one night with my laptop open and randomly came upon one of your sermons. Your message that particular day spoke so personally to me that I knew I had found a new church.
—A.C.[/cs_block_grid_item][cs_block_grid_item title=”Block Grid Item 4″]You were the first pastor in our lives that didn’t bash other churches and actually brought unity in your messages to ALL believers.—K.P.[/cs_block_grid_item][/cs_block_grid][x_line style=”border-top-color: hsl(0, 0%, 76%);border-top-width: 1px;”][x_gap size=”15px”][cs_text]I will never forget when I came to meet with you. I was struggling with why bad things happen to good people and especially children. You looked at me right in the eye and said “I don’t know either”. I had always been skeptical and will never be able to convey how much of a perfect answer that was. I was always used to being told, “you just need to believe.” You were a once in a lifetime Pastor.

When it came to the early church history and all of the history behind what really happened in those early biblical times, especially. You amazed me. Most Pastors do not explain things the way that you do, and when you do it puts so much more meaning into what the Bible means and what God is saying. I always stayed attentive because I never wanted to miss out on something that would enlighten me and help me on my spiritual journey.

I have made it to my goal of being in ministry school.
—N.N.[/cs_block_grid_item][cs_block_grid_item title=”Block Grid Item 2″]You have presented God to me in a way that made me thirsty for more, and couldn’t wait to hear you share his word. I’ve never felt God’s presence more than I feel him when you speak.
—R.S.[/cs_block_grid_item][cs_block_grid_item title=”Block Grid Item 3″]Very few people can move the needle. They come into our lives unexpectedly. You have moved the needle! We hope you can be our pastor forever.
—D.B.[/cs_block_grid_item][cs_block_grid_item title=”Block Grid Item 4″]I witnessed an amazing growth of members and attendees that came to hear you preach God’s word. You have uniquely taught us how to have a personal relationship with Christ.—V.S.[/cs_block_grid_item][/cs_block_grid][x_line style=”border-top-color: hsl(0, 0%, 76%);border-top-width: 1px;”][x_gap size=”15px”][cs_text]You transformed our church, provided a clear vision, and set us in a new and positive direction. Our family valued what you brought to us through your inspirational teachings and creative approaches to teaching the word of God. You helped us open our eyes and hearts to Christ.

My wife and I were pulling into the church parking lot on a Sunday morning and she excitedly said she thought you were going to be back this morning and preaching. I replied “Good! I haven’t been convicted for 3 weeks!” It’s funny because I said that jokingly but it really kind of sums up to me how much God has used you as a driving force in so many lives, including ours.
—J.J.[/cs_block_grid_item][cs_block_grid_item title=”Block Grid Item 2″]I really admire the way that you lead the church, not by ignoring issues or giving pat answers, but by struggling with us. I don’t know if that sounds weird to say, but sometimes it is frustrating to hear leaders or pastors speak about struggles in such a logical way, as though “all you have to do is ____”. To see a leader grieve with us, to mourn, to experience the feelings we are feeling, made it more real. I appreciate how transparent you have been in sermons, to share things you struggle with and ways that God has used the trials to bring about change.

I thank you for your inspiring sermons with ‘story props’, and using outside video and audio clips, songs, You Tube pieces, etc., to support your message and make it even more memorable and oh so real. I love your transparent ‘realness’. It is always so sincere, sometimes edgy, and I love it.

We have been deeply blessed to have you, Kevin.
