Wes, thank you for your comments. My bio line was just a Cliff's Notes way to describe the journey I've been on and where I'm currently resting...now that I look at it, it smacks of, albeit a much shorter version than, Brian McLaren's title for his Emerging Church manifesto... and for that I am saddened. I shall remove it immediately from all future posts. FYI, there is a Reformed movement within the SBC, known as the Founder's movement, that's trying to return to the Baptist's Calvinistic roots in the doctrines of grace and election. I would hope to align myself with those Baptists. SBC churches are fairly autonomous and I would try to model my ministry focus after Capital Hill Baptist(Mark Dever) or Parkside Christian Church(Alistair Begg)...with a little Tim Keller thrown in!

Thank you again and God Bless,
Brandon
