I have been a pastor for nearly 36 years and I have worked in Recovery ministry for more than 10 years.. I graduated from Waldron High School in south central Indiana in 1971. I went to college in Huntsville, Alabama to play basketball, but lost my passion for sports as I was introduced to the drug culture. After three years of alcohol and drug addiction, I received Jesus Christ as my personal savior and my life was transformed and continues to be transformed by the grace of God. I graduated from Bible College in 1980. Over the last 35 years, I have pastored churches in Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky. I currently am doing drug and alcohol recovery ministry as well as Discipleship training. I have written five self-study discipleship training workbooks. My wife of 40 years is Berdina Sue and we have 10 children. Two of our children currently reside at home. I have been writing discipleship materials for the last 8 years and will continue to do so until the Lord comes to take me home.
