Underwood Unplugged

I really like Mexican food.

For two years, I worked at a place called “The Hacienda Mexican restaurant.” Some of my best memories happened there, and they have little to do with burritos.

I met Jennie Walta at Hacienda. She and I were servers, and now Jennie Underwood and I have been married for five terrific years!

I met God more deeply at Hacienda. You see, I came face-to-face with God’s mission for my life as I spent many hours at Hacienda.

Conversations with co-workers became friendships with people who were trying to make sense of life. As they heard I was becoming a pastor, we had many talks about God, faith, and life’s toughest issues.

"Be wise in the way you act towards outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation always be full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone." Colossians 4:5-6

Today, God invites us to some form of “Hacienda.” A place for you to build honest relationships with people far from God. An chance for God to shine light through you and lead others to know Him. Maybe it’s your neighborhood, your workplace, your family, your hobby – and a prayer that God would work through you to change somebody’s life…
