The truth hurts but it will set you free.

         Johnny has been in the ministry since 1994. In 1995 he won the GPGMA Male Vocalist of the Year and in 1996 he was the entertainer of the year. He toured with Vern Jackson for 3 years and in 1997 signed with Ajalon Records out of Nashville TN. In 1998 Johnny started a ministry called RideRight where they taught kids about Jesus using rodeo training. That ministry took him to Great Falls Montana. It was in 2000 when things began to unravel. He became addicted to pornography and hid it from his wife and even lied to himself as to the severity and damage it was causing in every area of his life. At that same time, his wife took ill and they moved back to Michigan. He temperarily got control of his addiction and became the Associate Pastor of Southgate church in Toledo, OH.   His road to recovery was long and hard. Johnny and his wife could not save their marriage and Johnny stepped down as Pastor and Noelle divorced him.

         Johnny met Gale in 2008 and she made him attend Cornerstone Church in Maumee, OH. Bishop Michael Pitts began to allow Johnny time to just sit and be restored. He sent Johnny through a program called Restoring the Foundations. In 2012, Gale and Johnny were married. In 2013 Johnny was given a word that it was time to recover what was lost and to finish the race before him. "God has done a major work in my life. He has allowed me to learn what true relationship with Him really means." "My heart is to reach out to others and be transparent about what happens when you are a superficial Christian and how God truly needs them to get real!" "If God can forgive me and restore me, then He can do it with anyone." "I am truly sorry to all the people I have hurt in my past. Many people may think I don't deserve grace or to be able to be used by God ever again. They would be right. However, I promise I will work hard for the rest of my life to help people not make the same choices and mistakes I made." Just know this, what you do in private will be screamed from the roof tops. If you are in a secret sin now of any type, get a hold of me. I will NEVER judge you and will only work with you to see your life fully rescued and completely set free! Gale and Johnny have gone full time back into the music ministry. "I am a believer... I believe in God, Grace and the Gift of Salvation!"
