Meet the Staff – Gowdy Cannon

I am currently the pastor of Bear Point FWB Church in Sesser, IL, and have been for five years. Previously I served for 17 years as the associate bilingual pastor at Northwest Community Church in Chicago, IL. My wife, Kayla, and I have been married for over eight years and have a 5-year-old son, Liam Erasmus, and an 18-month old, Bo Tyndale. I have been a student at Moody Theological Seminary in Chicago and Welch College in Nashville. I love The USC (the real one in SC, not the other one in CA), Seinfeld, John 3:30, Chick-fil-A, Dumb and Dumber, the book of Job, preaching and teaching, and arguing about sports.

    I greatly fear the day I must meet Gowdy in a battle of feats of strength. If I managed to beat him, it would be a true Festivus miracle. And that day is coming, my friends, and I have a list of grievances as high as an elephant’s eye.

    That khaki-wearin’, Spanish-spoutin’, do-gooder Cannon, he’s an okay fella, a regular Frank Costanza.

    Gowdy is El Nino. All other tropical storms must bow before, El Nino. For those of you who don’t habla Espanol, El Nino is Spanish for…The Nino.

    Hey there.

    I’m much older than you guys, however, I have a few questions I would like to ask concerning blogging. I enjoy reading yours when I get a chance. And I really appreciate the critique of the new Christians and culture from WELCH press.

    Even though we are separated by miles and age, we have a lot in common. I’ve made attempts at starting a blog in the past and would like some further insight. Email me and I’ll give you my number and may be Gowdy or some of you could give me a call and we’ll talk further.

    God bless

    Steve Hughes

      Thanks for your comment, Steve. You can email me at GowdyCannon@gmail.com. I’ll be glad to converse. Some things about starting a blog I didn’t help with but I can try to get answers if I don’t know them.
