Growing up in the Catholic Church, Jeff never gained any spiritual insight or depth of conviction about his faith. At age 14, he abandoned religion and spent the next 20 years as a self-professed agnostic. By the grace of God, Jeff was introduced to the Gospel message and accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior when he was 34 years old.
“I’m not formally trained in any denomination of the church, I haven’t attended seminary, and I don’t have a master’s degree or doctorate in theology. I’ve just been consistent in reading my Bible, attending church on Sundays, and regularly enjoying Christian literature for three decades.”
That may not be the background you would expect for such a weighty topic, but it is the exact reason his book 'Take Captive Every Thought' is so unique. Written from a layman’s perspective, Jeff presents the solution to an inherent commonality among all Christians – the struggle with spiritual warfare. This study is a true testament to God’s ability to save the lost, revive the dead in spirit, and use a common sinner to advance His Gospel.
Jeff lives in Knoxville, TN. He is married to his wife and best friend, Delena Kay (DeeDee), and they continue to mentor believers of all ages in how to live a victorious Christian lifestyle.
