Day 3 in the hospital with the fierce @laurenchandler. Super high fever and other symptoms. Still can’t quite figure out what’s causing it all. She has been poked, prodded and scanned up and down and the fever persists. Prayers appreciated. Thank you to all our family and friends who have filled in the gaps. ****update**** @laurenchandler has been moved to a new room. The tests have all come back negative and she’s been tested on everything you guys are mentioning in the comments. The doctors are convinced it’s viral and she’s will start turning the corner soon. Case in point her liver enzymes have stopped declining and have leveled off. The fever has become more manageable and isn’t hitting near as high and her blood pressure is normal again. They were hoping the fever would break and we could wait out the tests that take longer for results at home. Unfortunately the fever has been persistent. Thanks for the prayers. She is finally getting good sleep and besides a terrible headache due to the spinal tap she’s feeling a smidge better!

Life Story

I was born near Seattle and, due to growing up with a father in the military, moved several times before settling in the Houston area. Though I attended church during my childhood and adolescence, I did not truly know and follow Jesus until I turned 17.

God used my love for football to link my path with that of another teammate, Jeff Faircloth, placing my locker directly next to his. Shortly after two-a-days began, Jeff approached me after practice. In a rather forward manner, he announced that we were going to have a conversation about Jesus, but I could choose when this conversation took place. Jeff saw past football into the kingdom of God.

I wasn’t immediately saved through our conversation, but I did become intrigued. Over a period of time, God began to break down the walls, and then He just saved me. I don’t know how to explain it. I was checking things out, I was studying, I was finding reasons why I shouldn’t have to believe and shouldn’t have to submit to Jesus Christ, yet in the middle of all that, in the middle of all those doubts, in the middle of all those intellectual barriers, I think Jesus just got tired of playing with me and said, “No, you’re mine.” He rescued me and captivated my heart, and I just immediately fell in love.

Before going to college, I served as a youth pastor of a small church near Houston. From there, I went to Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, Texas, where I received a bachelor’s degree in Bible. While at Hardin-Simmons, I became the teacher of an inter-denominational Bible study for college students called Grace. I was also on staff at Beltway Park Church. After several years in Abilene, I continued my itinerant speaking ministry with a home base in Dallas.

In 2002, I became pastor of First Baptist Church of Highland Village, now known as The Village Church. In 1999, I married my wife, Lauren. We have three children.
