Born James Oney Jr. in a humid city called Panama City, Fl. James was blessed to be born into a musical family where he started playing the drums at the tender age of three. His parents always encourage him to use the gifts that God has instilled in him. Through life, James never considered himself a hard knock; but rather a hard head. Although James’ parents taught him the Word of God and they themselves never strayed away from the TRUTH, he traveled his own path. In high school James began to notice the gift of poetry/writing. He began to craft his art and joined a local rap group called NuBreed; better known as Nocturnal. For the first time, James saw how lust and greed could grab and choke the life out of you. He began to experience a series of events that would ultimately lead him to salvation. In April 2001 James surrendered his life to the Lord. That day began a whole new chapter in his life.
After his conversion James began to be discipled by a young lady named Jenifer Fields who took him and showed him how to grow in the faith. This is one of the reasons why he is so passionate about making disciples. As time progressed James began to discern a calling on his life. In 2002 God called him into the ministry as a Youth Pastor. James has been serving in this capacity for seven years.
James’ desire and passion is for Christians is to live as Christians. He hates to see the church playing church. He believes one of the reasons why people don’t come to the faith is because of Christians not wanting to conform to the standards of Christ.
James is married with two sons, Caleb and Israel. |
