\"\"<\/a>Testimony:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I am an unremarkable<\/em> man with an unimpressive<\/em> past. My experiences are not unusual<\/em>, nor my upbringing uncommon<\/em>. Often my demands are unreasonable<\/em>, my desires are unholy<\/em>, and my decisions are unintelligent<\/em>. My unfortunate<\/em> situation stands in stark contrast to my uncommon<\/em> Savior.<\/p>\n

His love is undeniable<\/em>, His mercy unparalleled<\/em>. His grace unearnable<\/em>, His faithfulness unceasing<\/em>. He has unquestioned<\/em> wisdom, unerring<\/em> direction, unbelievable<\/em> patience for undeserving<\/em> sinners. The life He offers is unending<\/em> and His affection for us is unwavering<\/em>. His meekness is unmatched, yet <\/em>His power is undiminished<\/em>. He dwells in unapproachable<\/em> light and the praise sung to Him is uninterrupted<\/em>. No sin is unforgivable<\/em>, no blessing unintentional<\/em>, and no chastisement unjust<\/em>. He takes the unqualified<\/em>, unable<\/em>, and unaccepted<\/em> and knits them into a body which is unbreakable<\/em> and unbeatable<\/em> with a strength that is undeniable<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And by His grace, He was unwilling<\/em> that I should go unredeemed<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Bio:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

My name is Rob, and I serve as the Associate Pastor to Families at Shenandoah Baptist Church<\/a> in Roanoke, VA. Prior experiences include banking, Youth Pastoring in Greensboro, NC, shoe selling, floor mopping, burger flipping, and grass cutting. Every experience shapes our lives, and every job or occupation or ministry create the eclectic back story of the person we have become. These are some of the things that God has used to fashion and shape me.<\/p>\n

Interests: <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Thinking. Pondering. Musing. Staring out the window for extended periods of time. Laughing. Smiling. Forgiveness. Wisdom. Discipline (and how to get more of it). Fire light. People with accents. Soccer. Pittsburgh Steelers. Star Trek (TNG).
