Although she is a very large redemptive part of my story and ministry, Lisa and I are not a typical husband/wife ministry team, where we are both out front publicly serving the Lord the same way.  Relentless Heart is the public ministry which the Lord gave to me to serve Him and His children.  Lisa’s calling from the Lord, in this season, is to be a full-time wife, and mother.  The years of her Christian teaching and example to our daughter Kealey have been priceless, and now her help to me as a helpmate, is beautiful and invaluable beyond what I could have asked or imagined!  Because of the Lord’s great mercy to me through Lisa, I now have a renewed energy to serve the Lord for many years to come, or as long as He commands.  

In 2011, The Lord gave me a Mark 5:19 call to “tell the story of all that I have done in your life.” Since that time, the transparent sharing all of God’s dramatic dealings with me, have been my primary ministry message. Before leaving YouTube in Feb 2023, my channel had over 12 million views.

Others have described this ministry as putting “clothes” on the naked truths of the Bible, incarnating the rich, but often abstract, biblical principles and truths, of what it means to truly walk with and obey Jesus Christ.

The first 19 years of my “Myselfianity” didn’t look anything like God’s dealings with others in the Bible. However, after my full surrender on October 30, 2009, my walk and life with Christ looks and feels like it came straight out of the Bible.

Mine has not been a dignified, or a “bow tie” Christianity, and God has not spared my ministry from stumbling blocks or scandal. I am His full-time servant, who has been married three times, after being left and divorced by two unfaithful spouses.

Contrary to what most “Christians” in the West believe about their Bible and their practice of “Christianity”, there is NO dignity to be found in the stories and lives of the Bible, until you get to the last two chapters.

On the contrary, the Bible, in between the occasional wonders, is FULL of unexpected twists and turns, ups and downs, zigs and zags, mysteries, reversals, perplexities, injustices, scandals, and painful sufferings.  That has been the same experience for Lisa and I, in our walk with Jesus Christ.

I believe in, practice, and preach the true, cross carrying, self-denying, world hating, faith walking, Christianity which Jesus Christ taught and bled for. The true narrow path is the most difficult thing Lisa and I have ever done in our entire life. This is a life which requires tremendous encouragement and patient endurance…a willingness to suffer long for the One who has the words which lead to eternal life, The LORD Jesus Christ!  We must enter into the kingdom of God through many hardships and we must be willing to take up our cross, denying ourselves, by His grace, to do His will, trading this “life” for the true life to come.  Here, we are just passing through.  May God help all of us to understand that and live accordingly, more and more, as we get closer and closer to HOME!
