I read this several times and still cannot find any mention of Jesus. He is “ “tribally” a 21st century, evangelical minister”, but he has turned his back on the Bible and Jesus Christ.

Background and Vision
GracePointe Church was founded in 2003 while sitting around a living room with friends. Before GracePointe, I spent 20 years, variously, as a youth pastor in Arkansas, traveling evangelist EVERYWHERE and preaching/teaching pastor at Christ Church in Nashville, TN. Born into a five-generation, classical Pentecostal family, my perspective on God and spirituality has widened considerably into a more inclusive vision; one which embraces the liturgical, evangelical and charismatic streams of the Christian Church. While I am “tribally” a 21st century, evangelical minister, I have a heart to see the historical, contemporary and future manifestations of the Church converge, truly informed and benefited one by the other.
Passion in Ministry
I am a people person who loves spending time helping others navigate their life-journey. I love teaching, always have; whether it’s tutoring algebra or an in depth study on the Minor Prophets, I love teaching (did I already say that?). And, I love leading; especially in the local church which, I believe when done right, is still the hope for creation.
In my many years of life, close to 90, I have seen many religious hucksters. I remember with laughs the fellow in an engineering class who was taking the final exam with me and commented to me after the test session that he was OK if he failed because he would just go back to the country folks and become a minister.
