Diverse background from Hollywood to ministry and many interesting life experiences.
Brief History I grew up in Fresno, CA. I've served in the U.S. Army Honor Guard & as a sentinel at the Tomb of the Unknowns. For nearly 2 decades, I worked in Hollywood (acting/comedy) before being called into ministry. I was married December 18, 1993 to the love of my life. We have 7 boys, 1 daughter-in-law and several grandchildren. Education B.A. in Theatre/Acting - Fresno State University M.A. in Ministry/Christian Leadership - Hope International University M.Div. - Hope International University D.Min. in Preaching - Lincoln Christian University I felt compelled to earn a doctorate since my wife, Tena, earned hers several years ago from USC…I just couldn’t go through life as, “Dr. Tena…and James.” Fun Facts I'm a registered member of the Aamjiwnaang First Nation (my great-grandfather was the last bloodline chief). I came in 2nd place on Wipeout (it was the Soccer Special where the big red balls were soccer balls). I was adopted. I secretly wish for Spiderman’s powers. I co-host a podcast called, “Hodgepodge Theology” and authored the book, “The Blog of a Forgiven Cheater.”
