My name is
John Darnell. I reside in Jacksonville, FL with my lovely bride, two remarkable kids, and one amazingly low key dog.I serve as Lead Pastor of Vivid Church. Our purpose is simple - we exist to encourage people in their pursuit of God.

I also love to hear your thoughts. Agree or disagree, leave a comment and let's talk.
You can find me via the link above, friend me on Facebook, or follow me on Twitter.

This week, one of my favorite fast food places is opening down the road from my house. They do one thing and one thing only. It just happens to be the best chicken sandwich anywhere.
