About Passionburnswithin

I am the Next Generation Minister at Reedy Fork Baptist Church Greenville, SC. Our church is a long established church trying to find it's way into the future. I have a beautiful wife and three wonderful children who keep me running on all cylinders all the time. Most importantly I love Jesus.

We see in Matt 9, Mark 2, Luke 5 and 19 the types of relationships Jesus invested in, relationships with people who were hurting, [...]
