What is a "Teaching Pastor"?
The Bible is a big book - with lots of subject matter contained in it. The teachers at Fully Alive see their job as one of researcher. Our teachers aren't in anyway "more connected" with God than anyone else. They simply go through the Bible and look for insights that will help everyone and then come back and share them with the entire church. Sean primarily teaches at Fully Alive Worship.

What is your favorite scripture verse?
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade -kept in heaven for you."
1st Peter 1:3-4

"He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls."
1st Peter 2:24-25

"Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers -not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away. Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, 'God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.'"
1st Peter 5:2-4

How have you progressed on your spiritual journey to be a Christian?
I did not grow up in a Christian family, although Mom spoke of God some. I gave my life to Jesus at 17 as a sophomore in high school. Since then the Lord has continued the process of finishing what his grace started in me. The process is far from complete. Praise be to Jesus the author and perfecter of my faith!
