 I am elated that you are here and I look forward to sharing with you and having great conversations with you about life, heaven, hell, and eternity. I have created this website space as a calm and peaceful place for you to visit when you're needing peace, honesty, inspiration, truth, hope, and love. 

I grew up in the small town of Greensboro, Alabama, and going to church was a very important part of my life during those years- and it continues to be.  I was raised in the Church and accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior at the early age of 12, in an old-fashioned Church Revival. I always knew that God had a Calling on my Life. I accepted that Calling to Preach the Good News of the Gospel in 1995. I have a mandate to take the Good News of the Gospel and the Healing Power of Jesus Christ around the World. 

I live in the Dallas area where I completed my Seminary studies at (SMU) Southern Methodist University's Perkins School of Theology, earning a Master of Divinity Degree. I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration and worked in Corporate America in the areas of healthcare and pharmaceutical sales management.

As you visit my page from time to time, be assured that I will always be transparent in sharing and truthful teaching and preaching of God's Word, as it applies to helping you empower your life. We are living in unprecedented times with so much loss, negativity, and untruths. I believe in God and the healing power of prayer and positivity. However, there's one thing I do not believe in and will not tolerate nor participate in, which is debating or arguing with anyone about their beliefs, lifestyles, viewpoints about politics, or the Bible. God's Word is His Living Word and stands on its own. 

God didn't Call me to argue with you about the Bible. You either believe it, or you don't. And one of the reasons, among many, why you don't believe the Bible is because a man wrote it? The same way you believe in fortune cookies, science journals, daily horoscopes, newspapers, and textbooks- all written by a human.All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right." -2 Timothy 3:16. But at the end of the day, it is your choice what you believe and how you choose to live your life.

Additionally, if you take issue with women in ministry who God calls to preach His Word, this may not be the website for you. There are a plethora of other websites for you to choose from. But I'm still going to "keep it real" in my writing, teaching, and preaching.  And, I am still going to do what the Lord has anointed, appointed, called, and instructed me to do. Why? Because God is the "only one" I will stand before on the Day of Judgement, not your opinion or what you think and say. 

God chooses to appoint and anoint whomever He pleases. And yes, I get it. There have been many false prophets and preachers released on the earth by Satan. My best advice to you is to pray and ask God for "discerning of the Spirit" so that you don't end up speaking negatively or wrongly about a truly anointed and gifted Man or Woman of God. God warns, "...Do not touch My anointed and do My prophets no harm." -Psalm 105:15

I will respect your Faith and expect the same in return from you. Life is about choices! I am not here to judge you if your Faith is different than mine. We have all sinned and fallen short of God's Glory. We are all flawed. We all make mistakes and suffer from the human condition. No one is perfect. No one. And when you get this epiphany, you will be less critical of others, leaving the judging to the one and only Ultimate Judge- God. 💙 
 
In my transformational book, I share a unique concept called Soul Insurance. The Holy Spirit ministered to me about Soul Insurance back in 2016. I made my first public post about Soul Insurance on April 13, 2016. The Lord gave me the Scripture in Mark 8:36. The New Living Translation reads as follows: "And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?" 

But prior to the year 2016, I had never heard anything about Soul Insurance. The epiphany for me was that many people have car insurance, home insurance, health insurance, life insurance, and even burial insurance- but no Soul Insurance. Soul Insurance is the most important insurance you will ever have because God created the Soul never to die. Many people assume they are going to Heaven, but they are not because they have not taken the necessary steps to prepare for Heaven while living here on earth.

Additionally, I wrote Eternity Is Here as a book for both Christian and non-Believers in Jesus Christ. It will help all readers:
•  Understand the human condition
•  Implement spiritual warfare tactics

•  Develop strategies to pray protective prayers for family and loved ones
•  Learn why God loves and highly values the human soul
•  Prepare for Eternity before death arrives
