George serves as a pastor at The Center for Executive Leadership and is a co-founder of The Overseas Initiative, leading Christian missions in Cuba and Latin America. Through preaching, writing, and mentorship, he is devoted to Christian discipleship and spiritual growth, preparing and equipping the next generation of men and women around the world for ministry.
George lives in Birmingham, Alabama, and has written three books: Inerrancy (free as a PDF), The Four Faces of Christ, and The Relay.
“Faith isn’t a sprint or even a marathon; it’s a relay race, a team sport where all believers are responsible for passing the baton to the next generation.”
George's desire to pass the baton of faith by discipling others led him to leave a career in pharmaceutical sales with Merck and pursue ministry training at Reformed Theological Seminary. After earning his Master of Divinity in 1999, his path was not without challenges. His first pastoral role at a start-up church in Pensacola, FL, turned out to be a tough road. Despite his feelings of failure, he witnessed God’s power at work, far beyond his own efforts.
In 2007, George moved his family back to Birmingham, Alabama. The transition was difficult; he struggled to make ends meet as he returned to sales, but this time with far less success. To make ends meet, he even had to take on a third job working nights and weekends at Lowe's to support his family.
Looking back, he never regretted this period because it allowed him to encourage others from a place of weakness, not strength:
I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
In time, he found his footing as a professor at Birmingham Theological Seminary, where he spent his days in Scripture with students who were hungry to learn.
Having overcome numerous hurdles, George is committed to encouraging believers to persevere, confident that God uses every experience for His glory. He shares this message through practical Bible teaching for everyday Christian life — via his Bible studies, mentorships, and online ministry — along with a biblical worldview on culture and current events in his writing. He has also published three books: The Relay (2020), Inerrancy (2023), and The Four Faces of Christ (2024). He previously served on the board of Reel Life International and now leads Christian missions in Cuba and Latin America through The Overseas Initiative, promoting biblical and financial literacy, as well as providing humanitarian aid.
When not teaching or writing, George enjoys hunting and is a Master Gardener. He and his wife, Jill, live in Birmingham and are blessed with five children.
For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.
1 Corinthians 2:2
I believe the Bible is the Word of God, fully inspired, inerrant, and infallible, and that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. The full statement, seven doctrines with the Scriptures behind each, is here: Read what I believe
