Paul’s messages are not theory from a stage.

Paul and his wife Lisa are rooted in Mayfield, Kentucky, where faith, family, humor, service, and community shape the way they live. Whether on a stage, in a classroom, or behind a pulpit, Paul’s core belief stays the same: you may never know what someone is carrying, but you have the opportunity to make a difference in their life.

What People Are Saying
Paul brings a passion and intensity to everything he does: his work, his faith, his family, his relationships, and he does it in a way that’s uplifting rather than overwhelming. In a world where so much feels manufactured, Paul is the real thing.
When I think about what Paul brings to the table, four words come to mind: Dynamic. Relatable. Impactful. Real. He is the real deal, whether he’s speaking to your class, organization, congregation, or staff.
