Bruce Carlson
I'm an adult convert, born-again over 25 years ago, and sustained day by day by the grace of the Holy Spirit. Sandra and I, now married over 30 years, were born and raised in the mountains of North Idaho, but rushed to Texas when we heard winter was permanently cancelled.
Our boys are big now, and we're busy remodeling our empty nest in Duncanville. Mesa, a David Lipscomb graduate, stayed in Nashville to work for Dell and find the perfect wife. He's been successful at both. They are expecting our first grandchild in August 08'. Our younger son Zane, who graduated from Baylor, has dismissed his pursuit of the Big Leagues and lives in the Dallas area working for Cybex and avoiding a wife.
I graduated from the University of Idaho in 1975 and the Center for Christian Education in 1984. We battled in the mission field of British Columbia for 2 years, and then returned to the Metroplex where I served the Center for Christian Education in various capacities for a dozen years. During that time, I had the good fortune to serve 20-some churches as their interim preacher.
I've been the preacher in Duncanville for a decade where we have helped transform the local congregation into a dynamic multi-racial, multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-economic, multi-generational, multi-sinner, undenominational GracePlace.org.
I have always had a heart for evangelism, believing our role as light and salt in the world positions us to draw folks to the Jesus we lift up as savior of the world. In Duncanville, we believe in making converts, undermining evil, and loving one another. We hope and pray and labor for more Kingdom successes to the glory of God!
I have always been an avid reader and writer. Though I have not published another book in the last eight years (being the local pastor takes every minute!), I write a weekly newspaper column and articles for publications across the country.
