What You'll Hear:
Ken started out mowing
lawns, pruning Christmas trees and working at
McDonalds
Ken grew up as a
Chreaster, going to church on Christmas and Easter because his
Grandma said they should
Ken's Dad decided to accept
Christ after hearing a sermon, and everything changed
for Ken and his
family
Soon after that, at age 16, Ken accepted Christ as his Savior, but it
took a while to figure out what that meant for him
Once we're made aware of the penalty of sin, sadly we
often have a "not yet" faith and think of Jesus as a 911 call, as
opposed to a "right now" faith. Ken's Dad had a "right now" faith,
but Ken did not at first
and didn't make Jesus his Lord until his '30's
"I had to figure out that if it's good and not from God,
it's not good at all"
"When I joined the Marines everyone was surprised because
I was small"
We had a term in the Marines "oxygen thief", I didn't want
to be that
"There was a special moment in boot camp where I knew
there was never going to be something to make me quit and tarnish
my family name, you could say the same with living the Christian
life"
Ken served as a Marine
Scout Sniper, he was on Presidential security duty for President
Clinton and Bush, and served as a Marine Drill Instructor and
Marine School Instructor
In 2007 Marine Raiders were added to the special
forces
Break 1 - 24:42 - We've been talking
about Ken's fascinating
experiences in the Marine Corps. Next we're going to get into
his thoughts about changing jobs and his experience in the
FCA.
"I'm less concerned with what I do anymore, and more
concerned with why I'm doing it"
Ephesians 1:9-10
The purpose is to bring everything together in
Jesus
"My entire heart is rooted in making sure that I am trying
to draw somebody into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ,
because in Him is the common ground we can all exist on"
Ken is an Area
Director for FCA and has 4 counties in Eastern North
Carolina
The Vision of FCA is that Jesus Christ can transform the
world through the influence of coaches and athletes
"We make the mistake of compartmentalizing our
faith"
"Ministry is our responsibility, all of us"
"Jesus pitched His tent where we are"
