When and how did the Lord save you?
I believe the Lord grabbed my heart at a church camp when I was an elementary aged child through the teaching of the parable of the Lost Sheep... Like the sheep, I did wander and He did come for me... Him coming for me, then through some serious confession and repentance, our relationship blossomed and continues to do so today.

When did you come to TVC and what brought you here?
2016- The Lord called our family out of the church we had been attending for 10 years and planted us at The Village Church. He had some deep work to do in my heart, my marriage and my family. He chose the Village Church to be one of the places he would accomplish that work.

Book/Movie/TV Show Recommendation and Why
Show-The Chosen is one I recommend a bunch. Love the way it brings you into the story of Jesus and his disciples. Book- A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23. A real life shepherd gives firsthand insight to each line of the Psalm from a shepherd's point of view. This book has a unique way of enhancing your understanding of Jesus as the Good Shepherd and how He cares for His flock.

TED Talk Subject & Why
The art of sandwich assembly. While the bread you choose is likely the most important choice you make with your sandwich, proper assembly thereafter could make or break your sandwich dining experience.

Childhood Dream Job
Oh goodness, I wanted to be a milkman... Sometimes, it's good when dreams don't come true. Or, was that some sort of metaphor for what I am actually doing now? Only the Lord knows.

Fictional Character Friend & Why
Winnie the Pooh. I too really enjoy honey!
