Testimony - Well, I happen to be the old man of the group, (You have to guess the age)... What an honor to be part of this ministry for almost 6 years. I've been singing my whole life, but now it is to praise God. I give thanks to him for the gifts I have. I am married to an awesome, loving, and supportive woman of 9 Years.... Her name is Trina. She has been TIRELESS through this whole ride. I Love You.

I pretty much sing all the time. My old youth leader told me that I had a personality that attracts people; I pray that same energy will be expressed in our music and it will bring people to know Jesus. If you don't know my Jesus.......ask me.

 

 

Trey - Bass

Marital Status - Single

Hobbies - Playing bass, writing, playing video games, reading, listening to music all day everyday, and just generally being a nerd

Favorite Bible Verse - Jeremiah 1:9 & 10 the verse God used to call me to be a pastor, one of the many parts of my calling and His will for me. "Then the Lord put forth His hand, and touched my mouth. And the Lord said unto me, "Behold, I have put My words in thy mouth. See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant."

Influences - Cliff Burton (Metallica), Adam Duce (Machine Head), Victor Wooten, Chris Revels, Cameron Carnes, Trivium, Lamb of God, The Showdown, Killswitch Engage, Mastodon, Nirvana, Parliament Funkadelic, Coheed & Cambria, and so many more

Testimony - My walk with God is the most important part of my life. I was raised in church all my life, but at 13 I strayed away from the love of God that I had just begun to understand. On my path on my own I was nothing. I faced struggles with generational curses, hate, depression, lust, perversion, weed, alcohol, and a battle with things that were beyond my understanding. Then at 17 I made a turn back to God through a revelation of my own mortality in the form of a benign tumor that forced me into brain surgery. A week and a half after that surgery 39 Lashes played a show at my church. Although I didn't realize it at the time, God was showing me where I could be and what I could do if I continued to follow Him. Time has moved on and my walk with God has taken me to Wilmington NC (where, at a spur of the moment prayer service with me and a few friends I was called to be a pastor) and back to Rock Hill again. He brought that depressed, heartbroken, hate filled, and even suicidal kid out through the desert into deliverance, love, and a life in His will. I'm not perfect, because John 1:10 says, "If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us." But I have been saved by God, so I will strive to be the best I can be for Him.

Testimony - First, I have a very diligent faith in Christ Jesus. I knew from when I was a kid there is someone out there, and could not put my finger on it. I knew in my mind that I am led to be who I am today by hearing God's voice to call me His.  I have something that no one can take away from me, and I have a peace of mind. I am spending my life seeking everyone that will to listen to our ministry. No one will be left behind. We depend on our faith to carry us home.

My family is important to me. I have always set the example. I was the oldest of four, and I led each of brothers and sister to do their best with what we have. We have each other. My family, now with my wife, Jodi, my sons, and my daughter, are the best people that God has given me. I give my life to take care of them. My brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, I have devoted my every notion to be a helping hand, to comfort one another, to strive for our unity, and to show others how to be set free from their sickness in sin, so we can all go home one day on the other side.

Favorite Bible Verse - Luke 10:19- Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Testimony - I've been through quite a bit in my young life. I ran from God as a teenager (stupid don’t try it) and kept myself away from people, locked in my cave, in my room. But after some personal losses of friends I realized I was made to do something amazing and earthshaking, and God has given me the talents to do so. We, as children of God, are earth-shakers and ground breakers. We are slayer's of snakes and scorpions! We are of The Holy One. Let us set this world a fire for the Lord God and they will know us by name. Let's Go!

Testimony - At times my life was like a huge roller coaster ride! I felt like giving up, but God wouldn't let me. I am so grateful for His presence in my life, and His commitment of always being there for me. I wondered around lost for the first 40 yrs. of my life, (Like Moses in the desert.) then the day came when I finally woke up and gave my life to Christ. I've learned that to be successful in life, and in all of the challenges we're faced with every day, we must first develop a solid relationship with God. Not only develop it, but also keep it!  Draw close to Him, as He will draw close to us. By having faith and trusting in God, I've truly been blessed with my wonderful wife, Tina Marie and my family. Special thanks to: God for never giving up on me, and for still loving me despite all of my imperfections... and my parents for being such great role models...
