We offer a safe place to discuss, pray and grow in Jesus while sharing deeper relationships together. Amen
Sounds like a contradiction doesn’t it? Barstool and Pastor in the same sentence. How did the whole thing start… well I have a ton of experience in bars shooting pool and shooting the breeze. The first ten years in the bar was for me. The next ten were for God. Think about it, you can walk in to any bar in the world and order a beer and you’re just like everyone else. Buy someone a beer and you’re in the family. This is where real ministry meets real life and cultivates a conversation trust in Jesus.
I walked beside and show up for men and women who have no pastor, church or community group. From the hospital to the graveside service, birth to baptism and everyday between. I offer what Jesus gave me, a place where I can pray for and love on those God puts in front of me. Where I do what God made me to do…take Living Water to the thirsty sinner lost deep in the desert.
Who me? You’re going to ordain me? What in the world are you guys thinking? Was the first thought crashing in on me when I received the email from Dan Sutherland, Senior Pastor of Next Level informing me of their decision to bring me under their auspice as a pastor of God’s word. Me a pastor at all is a completely mind blowing concept. I have little to no formal seminary training. I didn’t really, really know Jesus until I was 40 years old and it has been 18 years of life changing experiences I could have never imagined.
God doesn't quit on us. I won't either. This is a knee to knee ministry. My calling is to a One on one missional field to teach and reach the lost where they live. Outside the church. The Barstool Pastor offers individuals a safe one on one or small group setting to introduce the Jesus I know the way He taught me. Prayer, God's Word revealed, journaling and consistently showing up. Love the ones God puts in front of me. Then I go and do it again and so do you. Amen
