I am the husband of Melissa Marrero and father of three girls under three years old. I am a graduate of Nyack College with a Bachelors in Youth Ministry and a minor in Biblical Studies. I continued leadership studies from the New York Leadership Center. I have served in student ministries for over eight years and served as Youth Pastor to a local community church for a few years.

Raised in a home that knows Jesus and went to church religiously, my parents broke their generational curses. In such a perceived healthy home, I found I was listening to the accusations of the enemy and began internalizing fear of man and negative emotions. Unable to share these thoughts, I turned to take my own life but was unable to follow through for fear of how it would affect my family. The fear of man that the enemy used to destroy me became the same internalized voice that crippled me, and in turn saved my life. In that moment I perceived a vision from the Lord and as Jesus looked on me with compassion, Jesus said “Do not be afraid, I have been with you, I have never left you nor forsook you.” (from Deuteronomy 31:5).

Life was never the same as I took my struggles and temptations head on. Taking on my new identity, I found a new church and sought true healing. Things became better at times, and worse at times, but truth was exposing lies and God was turning my life around. (We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who are called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28)

Ten years later, I am living in freedom. After years of several different pastoral counseling seasons, I found myself right in the center of the God’s specific will for my life. GRH is not sin management. GRH is not behavioral management. We are praying through lifetimes and generations of sin and breaking satanic strongholds on our lives and our children’s lives. (Psalm 105:8 He remembers his covenant forever, the promise he made for a thousand generations.)
