Jesse Welliver is currently the Pastor of LifeGroups and Adult Discipleship at Eagle’s Landing First Baptist Church in McDonough, GA. His dissertation focused on Christ-centered hermeneutics and homiletics. His passion is communicating the Word of God, whether through preaching, teaching, or small group settings. His hobbies include reading, writing, and playing acoustic guitar and bass guitar. He and his wife, Rachel, have three children, with their fourth on the way. One of his favorite verses is 1 Thess 5:23–24: "Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it."
