At the age of 14 he became the interim pastor of a church in Woodbury when the pastor would not be able to make it to sermons due to his occupation, and by the age of 16 he was called pastor of the church. He joins Dena Hornby to discuss his call to ministry, and the steps he took that led him to becoming Senior Pastor of Poplar Grove Baptist Church in Cookeville.
