I remember vividly when I got saved like the moment happened yesterday, yet I was only 4 years old. I grew up in a Christian home all my life but never really walked a full Christian walk until I was 23. The Lord kept me from most things up through high school and most of college but at some point I just gave up.

From 19 – 21 I rejected the idea that Christians were inherently good. Having been burned and stabbed in the back by so many Christians and watching them take advantage of people, just like the world, I became frustrated. I stopped going to church because of the rules and the people and embraced the world. Life slowly spiraled out of control. It’s not like it happens instantly. The devil lures you to sleep until suddenly you don’t recognize your surroundings. I was so far away from God I didn’t even think about anything I was doing. I was without a doubt living in the moment.

God finally gave me a wake up call one night in 2004 and my life has been different ever since. I still struggle and have my ups and downs but my focus is on Christ and I rely on Him to provide my every need. I hope that everything I’ve been through, everything I’ve witnessed and learned comes through in what is written on these pages and if I even help just one person, it was all worth it.

I was born into a protestant Christian family, of the evangelical variety. From an early age my family bounced around from church to church and denomination to denomination, mostly due to moves relating to my father’s work. Therefore, I do not really identify with any particular brand or denomination. I’ve been everywhere from pentacostal to congregational, baptist to calvary chapel and everything in between.

I had always taken my parents faith very seriously, and was “saved” about 4,263 times throughout the course of my youth. However, I didn’t truly come to know Christ until I was in my early 20s. I say this because I had always just taken everyone else’s word for it. I knew I believed, but wasn’t sure what I believed in until I really started digging into the scriptures.

Through this process of what seemed like never-ending questions and doubts, I came to find the truth in Christ. It was not until I was about 23 that I can say I had finally been saved by the grace of God, and saved from evangelicalism at that! I believe that I was saved out of religion to be put back into it. cleaned off so that I can be a more effective and true witness of the Gospel of the kingdom of God.

Who am I now? I am a Christian who seeks to follow the way of the cross with every breath.
