about

I am a follower of Jesus Christ first, husband to Kelly, dad to Kourtney (’03), McKenna (’05), and Blake (’07). I pastor Life Pointe Church.

I enjoy writing, speaking, and laughing with friends. I’m an avid reader. I play Fantasy Football. I love to play ball, period. My mind says I’m 21 still. My body says otherwise. I still have a decent arm. I’d like to think I can still run fast…I mostly just lose my breath when my wheels are turning. Still, what I lack in speed, I make up for in a good convincing “pump fake.”

I love Homestead/Miami. This is a beautiful place to live. It is rich with culture. The food and entertainment is incredible. From time to time, I get a reminder of how blessed I am to do life and pastor in the town I grew up in (as close to paradise as you can come on the mainland). All it takes is a quick trip out of town.

I attended Miami-Dade College, Lee University, and the Church of God Theological Seminary. One of these days, I’ll go back to school. Life needs to slow down a bit first. I think I’d like to do more communication studies. I am a church planter/transitioner/gatherer. During my first church plant in Chicago, I took a stab at Marketing and fell in love. I’ll always have a sales hat of some sort to wear. It bleeds over into what I do in ministry. I think that’s a good thing.

Most of all, I’m passionate about Jesus. He changed my life, showing up in the most mundane moments, slightly altering the course of my life. I look back and see an amazing plan enacted through a very normal life. Of course, there have been sprinklings of amazing moments, including brushes with death, romance, conflict, and adventure. I’m glad that God has a plan and has allowed me to participate.

    Met you at the Conference. Would like to dialogue with you about the some perceptions that exist in the Black church. Give me a call (954)775-4667.

    Anthony,

    Hey,
    I thought I would google my name, and see what turned up.

    I found your blog (on typepad first), and noticed not only do we share a name, but also seem to share interests in matters of faith.

    What a coincidence, eh? :)

    Be well,
    Tj

    Dude, did you just talk to yourself here?

    I was talking to the other Travis Johnson. There are several of us out there. Some are thuggish brutes who take joy in delivering skull crunching blows to Quarterbacks. Some are businessmen. Some are pastors. We should start a club.
