As a follower of Jesus Christ, he is very studious about Christian orthodox and praxis. He is passionate and zealous about the work of the ministry. His objective in life is to present a Bible-based, theological-driven, faithful exposition, and doctrinal truth that will enhance the spiritual formation of every individual that comes within his vicinity. Elijah has a heart for leaving a legacy of biblical truth that stems from the Word of God intended to better equip other believers for generations to come.

As an avid believer, Elijah is committed to studying to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth (2 Tim. 2:15). His commitment to discipleship is seen in his personal study of God’s Word as well as his religious educational background. Within the field of Christian education, he is a graduate of Grace Christian University located in Grand Rapids, MI, where he received his formal theological and biblical training upon completion of his Master of Arts in Ministry degree (April 27, 2019). His collegiate education also denotes that he is a graduate of the University of Southern Mississippi, where he received a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration on December 12, 2008.

Elijah is active within the religious arena as he serves in the capacity of an adjunct professor at Southeastern Baptist College, he serves in the pastoral role for a local congregation in Mississippi, and he engages in ministry outreach through his podcast (The Christian Inquiry Podcast) as well as his book writing company called The Christian Inquiry. Formerly, he has served as a volunteer ambassador for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Within his respective roles of servitude, he is enthusiastic about carrying out the mission of the kingdom to exalt the saints through biblical doctrine and point the lost to Christ through evangelism. Notably, he believes in being steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that his labor will not be in vain in the Lord (1 Cor. 15:58).
