While in Nashville, Walters sang in a rock
band before moving to New York. “We
moved up to Buffalo, New York with a friend
of mine who was moving home to Buffalo
to plant a church. Originally I was moving
there for music, but he started pouring into
me and teaching me to read and write and
preach and go back to seminary.”
Walters says he began to develop a burden
to move home. “Around March 2016 God
made it very clear to me that I was supposed
to come back home to plant a church, and
so we moved home in September 2016.”
“Thats my first job and that’s my first love is
planting churches and preaching,” Walters
continues. “And then during the week I do
about 30 hours at an insurance agency
managing the office and taking payments
and stuff, and then on the weekends I’ll do
gigs.”

Growing up a “military brat”, Walters says he
didn’t know a lot of people when he and
his family moved to Southside, and music
has opened doors for him to meet people. “I
thought, ‘I’ll use what I have to get out and
meet folks.’ And probably folks who don’t like
the church or have been hurt by the church
or left the church or whatever. And maybe I
can befriend them and hang out with them
and show them something different.”
