Faith, Family and Music. Ok, it sounds cliché, but it’s the center of everything I am. All I do and am comes from God and my love of family drives my message of power and purpose to teens and the people who encourage them. I speak professionally to teens, young adults, parents, educators, youth pastors and anyone else who can make an impact. I’ve also got a band that writes and plays music that aligns with my message and assignment.[/vc_message][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” interval=”3″ images=”10316,11822,11824,11823,10315″ onclick=”custom_link” custom_links_target=”_self”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_video title=”The War and Treaty” link=”https://vimeo.com/124173340″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][ivan_info_box ico_family=”fa fa-” position=”left” vertical=”no” align=” default-align” style=”circle” size=”64″ main_css=”{.vc_customizer_1429157000793}” icon_css=”{.vc_customizer_1429157000794}color:#dd3333;background-color:#1e73be;” title_css=”{.vc_customizer_1429157000795}” content_css=”{.vc_customizer_1429157000795}” ico=”music”]Please visit The War and Treaty’s website:
