I'm a Motor Cycle riding Minister, loving God, sharing the word and my family.
If you landed on this blog you may know me from some of the websites, blogs or newsletters that I am associated with, however I am sure a lot of you don't know a thing about me so:
In this world we have a lot of religious, spiritual, and moral confusion. My goal is to help people get through the muck of man-made wisdom and find what God says about the most pressing questions in our lives. Who is Pastor Jeff? Pastor Jeff is an Ordained Minister, Bible Study teacher, and a Harley Davidson fan.
Hi.... I'm Pastor Jeff Lilley, nice to meet you.
Let me give you the scaled down version of who I am and what I do.
Home Life:
I live in Beaumont, CA, which is in sunny So. Cal, with my wife (Janette) and two dogs (Angel) a chow mix and (Buster) a 100 pound shepard mix who just showed up on my doorstep last year. Between us we have Five kids 4 boys (Joshua, Eric, Ryan and T.J) and a Princess (Heather) and Three Grand kids 1 boy (Cameron) and 2 girls (Ashley and Abigail)
Work/Career
I am a full time Pastor and Chaplain, Ordained since 1997. I have been on the internet for 10 years and my wife and I run JJL Ministries Inc. We are also Job Counselors with the "Ticket to work" program, run by Social Security.
Before Doing what I do now, I was a Jehovah's Witness for about 8 years and a third generation Funeral Director. Growing up in New York City opened my eyes to so much and has been a huge help in my ministry with the homeless.
I have a degree in Mortuary Science and also Biblical Studies and Theology. I have a street smart degree in Marketing, although I never stopped learning and never will.
Personality and Passion
I am an extreme extrovert who loves people places and things. I am easy to get along with and always remembered after the first meeting. Although as I get older I don't seem to remember as well as I did when I was younger and I am constantly asking my wife, who was that?...LOL
My Passions revolve around:
1- Ministry and helping the homeless and needy.
2- Studying the Bible and helping others study and understand the Bible.
3- Teaching the word of God, through as many means as possible. Even using word, if I have to.
4- Sharing the Gospel with all who have an ear and making disciples, including schooling and licensing Ministers and Chaplains.
So, This blog is a place for me to get some stuff I have been thinking about in focus. I’m not sure where it’ll end up but suspect there will be announcements about the different studies and newsletters I am currently working on and available from our ministry, a few reflections on life in general, occasional asking of your opinion in different projects and aspect of development of new studies and Ideas, and a few observations, stories and accounts on what I’ve been doing and observing on an hourly, daily, weekly or up to the minute reports.
