My name is Glenn LaRue. I am a husband/father and a pastor/theologian. But most importantly, I want to be a follower/leader. I want every aspect of my life to be about following Jesus and leading others to follow him as well.

I believe in the sovereignty of God, the lordship of Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit, the inerrancy of the Bible, the sinfulness of men, and the hope of the gospel.
