I am so excited today to share with you the realization of a dream Tabitha and I have been planning for close to 4 years since God placed this calling on our lives! I am happy to inform you that we are planting a new church in our hometown of Greenville, SC.
We have begun meeting with our core team on Saturday evenings. Revolution Church should begin hosting preview services sometime in the next several weeks!
In the meantime, you can visit Revolution’s website at www.revolutiononline.cc.
I will post periodic updates to the blog, but the website will be the best place to get the latest updates and most current information on Revolution Church.
Thanks for the prayers and if you don’t mind – kick it up a notch!

“If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?
But with you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared.”
– Psalm 130:3-4 (ESV)
We keep a record of our sins. God doesn’t.
Others remember our shortcomings. Not God.
Speaking as one who has allowed my past to paralyze, there is no progress when shame and guilt dominate the life of a believer.
Shame and guilt are emotions stemming from the heart of man. Godly sorrow produces repentance!
So go ahead. Walk in the freedom that comes from knowing that God knows all about your miserable failures and says “I want you” anyway! Live in the power that comes with that kind of freedom – the freedom of forgiveness.

Everything has its time and season and there is definitely a time when everything in this life comes to an end.
Change rarely comes without some measure of heartache, mainly because we are all creatures of habit and grow attached and cling to the familiar. Change is often complex and very difficult (I did a series on “Change” last year).
With that in mind, I need to inform you that I have resigned from my role as Executive & Worship Pastor at Washington Avenue Church. My prayer is that Washington Avenue Church would continue pursuing the plan God has purposed and designed them to be. We leave behind many wonderful friends and some of the best ministry experiences of my life.
I would like to thank the people of Washington Avenue and specifically Chuck Bridges for the time we shared together. Though we will be laboring in different works, we share a common goal. That goal is that Heaven would be more crowded because of our faithfulness. I encourage you to pray for WAC and its leadership. Great things are ahead!
I would also like to share what’s going on with us right now and how you can pray for us. Tabitha and I are in the middle of an intense season of prayer and refining the next steps God has for us. As most of you know, we have accepted a call to plant a new church and went on a scouting trip to Boston, MA last October. Upon our return, God confirmed that Boston was not our destination.
We do have a very clear sense of what God intends our specific next steps to be and are seeking confirmation of this. Over the next several weeks, I will be posting more updates about what is coming up in our exciting journey. Thank you so much for your prayers and I can’t wait to share these exciting things with you!
