When You Were Saved: I grew up going to church every week and even went through Confirmation class, but it wasn’t until High School that I found myself in my room on my knees finally giving my life to the Lord. 

Family:  

My wife, Jennifer, is the Athletic Director for McKinney Independent School District. 

Our oldest son, Zach, is at Oklahoma Baptist University where he plays football. 

Our middle son, Brandon, is at Auburn University where he plays football. 

Our youngest son, Dylan, is at McKinney North High School where he plays football & basketball.  

Athletics have always been a big part of our lives. My brother is also a football coach (college & NFL) and Jennifer’s brother is the basketball coach at Prestonwood Christian Academy. 

What Makes You Laugh: I love to laugh – and God seems to place plenty of funny people and situations in my life every day.

Favorite Scripture: Romans 8:28 

Favorite Sports: Anything my boys are playing. 

Life-Changing Moment: When I was in high school, I was invited to join a Bible Study that met on Sunday nights in a friend’s home. There were about 20 of us who met for nearly 2 years and being around those amazing people who were pursuing the Lord changed my life forever. 

Something People Don’t Know: I’ve been to all 50 states. 

Time It Takes to Get Ready: 15 minutes. (Having less hair has its advantages!)

Meredith Jackson

When and Where You Were Saved: I was saved as a young adult at a small church in Nebraska. It was after learning how to take God’s Word and show someone else what the Bible said about salvation, and eternal life that I realized that I had never done that.  I had head knowledge but I did not have a personal relationship with Christ.  At that time with full understanding of why I needed to be saved, I confessed my sin, and asked Christ to be my Savior.

Tell Us About Your Family: I have 3 grown sons who are married and 13 grandchildren.  My husband and I were in full-time ministry together for many years before he passed away in 2014.

Regular Order at Starbucks:  Decaf Hazelnut Latte

People Who Inspire You: Missionaries – both current and those from history.

Favorite Scripture: Philippians 4:4 “Rejoice in the Lord alway; and again I say, Rejoice.” I love this verse because it teaches me that no matter what is going on in my life, whether good or bad, I can rejoice. Because the Lord never changes, I can always rejoice in Him.

Favorite Thing to Do: Travel – especially with family.

Favorite Food: Tex-Mex, Italian and a good steak.
