Alan had a profound encounter with Jesus as a freshman football player in college which opened the door for God to call him into full-time ministry. He and Gail were married during college and set off for seminary after graduation. Alan was educated through Southern Baptists and has two Master of Divinity degrees as well as further studies throughout the years, culminating with a Doctor of Ministry degree with Dr. Randy Clark through United Theological Seminary.
