My name is David Harrison. I've been married to my best friend Erin for 31 years. I've earned a bachelor's degree in Specialized Ministries (Bible/Theology with specialization in youth ministry and Christian education). I've also earned a Master's degree in Theology. I've completed a graduate level catechist certificate program. I've completed additional graduate hours in Catholic Theology as well as History. I have served as a licensed and ordained youth pastor, associate pastor and lead pastor in various congregations. I have served as an adjunct and full time professor of Bible and Theology at accredited universities. I continue to teach college classes. I'm currently teaching Biblical studies, Theology and Church history at a local non-profit ministry. My wife is self-employed helping people in the areas of health and wellness and business building. I believe that we were created for such a time as this. We were not given life to sit idle while society is submerged in darkness. We are called to do battle with ourselves and the forces of darkness so that we may lead others to deliverance through Jesus Christ. God has not left us powerless. He has given us spiritual weapons for this warfare. Will you join me in fighting with beads?
