James is a forerunner for Christ and a trail blazer for our generation. Like King David, he is “A Man After God’s Own Heart.” His authentic and transparent testimony, from serving the devil to serving Jesus, will keep you reading his books until the end.

The Lord separated James on April 5th, 2003 to become a special witness to verify God’s amazing grace and truth. Everything that defined James perception of himself was stripped away. Suddenly and passionately, God’s calling became an all-consuming fire that began to mold, shape, and redefine the new person that James was becoming. Once James recognized his Savior, he counted the cost, burned his bridges, put his hand to the plow, and by the power of God’s grace, James has never looked back. His treasures are now stored up in heaven and his life is hidden in Christ.

James has served under churches and para-church ministries, participated in Kairos and Bill Glass prison ministries, he was ordained apostolically, started ministries, led hundreds of people to Christ, wrote two books which thousands have read and he spends exuberant amounts of time and energy discipling people daily through his personal Facebook page that reaches over four thousand five hundred people.

The biggest challenges that James faced is when God called him to put together a unity festival targeting six-hundred church and para-church ministries that made up The Greater Austin Community, which back then had not been done before.

The biggest joy James experienced was when God led him to become an Executive TV Producer, of five weekly Christian TV Show, which had never been done before.

The biggest miracle is that James gave away everything that he owned, preaches the gospel for free, offers his books for free, and pours himself into others without any compensation and very little support from Churches.

James biggest surprise is that God has moved him around twelves times, in fifteen years (2003-2018). Ten of those moves were provisional moves around the Greater Austin area. Twice God moved James to different states. In 2011, The Lord brought James back to Austin to write two books and serve in various other capacities which also included serving as a pastor at the Crisis Center.

Sanctified: Roadmap To Redemption is a 55-page book that breaks down the seven stages of “Sanctification” that most encounter while traveling down the narrow pathway that few find and fewer follow. I refer to these stages as: Accepting, Submitting, Forgiving, Loving, Trusting, Obeying, and Reproducing.

“Crisis of Belief” is a 220-page autobiography that teaches its listeners how to walk down a very narrow path that few find. His spiritual journey impacts our perspective about life. It redefines what we think about ourselves, how we see others, and it teaches ordinary people how to enter into a very deep and personal relationship with Christ which helps us heal, grow, and reproduce as ambassadors of reconciliation to a lost world.
