COME AND SEE, Authentic Jesus

God hears and answers our prayers. And sometimes in BIG ways. I’m honored to join and serve with the Come and See Foundation for Global Partnerships and to expand #TheChosen to 600 languages and for unreached people all over the world. Sharing the life-changing reality of Jesus Christ.

If you would have told me nine year’s ago that a short film produced by Dallas Jenkins about two thieves (shown below) and Christ, played by Jonathan Roumie, would lead to the hit show The Chosen leading millions of people all over the globe going deeper into God’s Word, and pointing to authentic Jesus, I would have paused, smiled and imagined the possibility. Because, yes, it was that good. A whole new concept of bringing to life Biblical stories and scripture by sharing a possibility of what happened during the in-between. The hard work is aligning and ensuring the true translated intent of scripture is adhered to, honored and lifted up while sharing a contextual rich story of the people and interactions as well as true emotion within the story itself.

Today, I’m excited to share, it’s way more than a dream. And now it’s a bit more personal as I have accepted a full-time role with the incredible organization and movement known as The Chosen, and Come and See Foundation.

Nine years ago while serving in Chicago, IL I was traveling North America with Walk in the Word ministries and helping with a prototype men’s stadium conference, Act Like Men. I was fully alive serving with a talented and high-capacity team. And also worked with Dallas among many phenomenal leaders, creatives, and ministers for the gospel. During that time we launched many creative projects, resources, as well as provided strategy, consulting and tech for a global church planting effort. Needless to say, it was incredible.

Much has happened between then and now. And the Lord has put all of the experience, trials, learning, and growth to use. Happy to share more. Now more nine year’s later after pastoring two churches in Kodiak, Alaska and Little Rock, Arkansas, before, during and after the global pandemic and helping an incredible ministry for safe and living water, my wife Myra and I have once again stepped out in faith and excitement to be a part of something BIG God is doing.

I am grateful. Excited to see what God does. It’s about sharing Jesus. Let’s do this.
