Gregnettle.com is the blog of Greg Nettle, senior pastor of Rivertree Christian Church. The roar of love is a favorite description of how Greg describes God's love for all people. Greg has dedicated his life to sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with as many people as possible in the most effective ways possible. Greg believes that the sign of a mature Christian is not how far they remove themselves from the world, but how deeply they penetrate the world with the "roar of God's love."

Greg NettleI am a diehard Cleveland Browns fan that dies hard every year. I have traveled to Peru, Ecuador, Ireland, Tanzania, England, France, Holland, South Africa, Wales, Northern Ireland, Canada, Mexico, Jamaica, Haiti and Scotland. And there’s nothing I would rather do than have a cup of coffee with my wife, Julie, at our local Starbucks. I enjoy bungee jumping, whitewater rafting and skydiving. The faster the roller coaster the better. My most recent adventures have included climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and a spiritual pilgrimage to Israel. I have read more than 50 books a year for the past 20 years but my favorite is to read the Bible with my 10 year old daughter, Tabitha and newly adopted son, Elijah. I used to travel and sing with Rich Mullins and I have had breakfast with Jerry Falwell. I would rather spend an hour with Howard Stern than an hour with the Pope. I love Kraft macaroni and cheese out of a box, Ho Ho’s, filet mignon and lobster with drawn butter—jalapenos on everything..
