On Sunday, July 21, 1996, I had no idea that would be the beginning of something. My home church had asked me to take over as music director at the age of 15. Our music director was just diagnosed with terminal bone cancer and would die just weeks later. He resigned, and I had already been filling the role. The board voted, and I began 30 years ago today.
When that happened, I never imagined still being in vocational ministry 30 years later. I expected to be a band director in a school or some kind of musician outside the church. Thirty years later, I’m a pastor.
Today, I celebrate with humility. God could have used anyone, but He chose to use me. He knows the worst of me, yet He works in and through me what I cannot do. The devil tried his hardest to derail me, but God is greater!
